Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

I don't think they are all criminals.

Osborne went on the piss on is big rise in is pay ,or is he on drugs now he can afford them

We get lower immigration then some other EU countries. Just think, if Labour were in power, it would be a lot higher.

back to immigration it is going to detsroy the uk for ever we will go bankrupt and it will be sooner than we think . facts their are over 12m on out of work or made up payments to bring them up to min wage over 2m on no contracts
1.5m illegal immigrants but could be over 2m no one knows the figures
no one knows were they are

It is interesting that peak immigration was in 2005! Now, who was in power in 2005?

British people tend to think private schools harm society – and support a firm stance on their tax exemptions

Wide support for tackling private school tax exemptions



The Shadow Education Secretary Tristram Hunt threatened private schools’ tax exemptions this week, claiming they weren’t playing their part, and had created a “corrosive divide of privilege”. Currently private schools are exempt from a number of taxes due to their charitable status, which Labour had looked at removing if they did not meet a public benefit test. After a court case effectively ruled out that route, however, the party said a future Labour government would remove private schools’ exemptions from paying business rates on their properties if they cannot prove they have helped and integrated with state schools.

YouGov research finds public support for a new approach to independent schools, with the most popular strategy being to remove their charitable status altogether.

Since July last year, opinion has moved slightly against public schools. Then, 42% thought they were a benefit to Britain, providing good education and acting as beacons of excellence to state schools, while 41% thought they harmed Britain, reinforcing privilege and social division. Now, 48% say they are harmful, and 36% say they are a benefit.

With the general motivation for threatening public schools, majorities of every group agree: it’s a good idea for them to lend teaching staff to state schools, help them with university admissions and compete with them at sports and debate.

But on Labour’s policy itself, the most popular response is more hard-lined. 41% say private schools should not be allowed to be registered charities at all, regardless of whether they partner with state schools. 33% support Tristram Hunt’s current proposal of allowing them tax exemptions if they integrate with state schools. Only 15%, including 29% of Conservatives, say independent schools should suffer neither.
