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.

this election campaign has degenerated in what is surely the most puerile ever

any one who now votes conservative thinks being a liar and a thief and no honour
is good. cameron is a very dishonest piece of scum will not answer questions about
is donors tax avoidance that about says it all . look after those that give you free cash

I must have got up on the wrong side of the bed, I agree with Manuel!

Except it does expose the corrupt leadership and its methods.

Cameron agrees with fink if you can fiddle your tax good luck ever one fiddles their taxes if they do not pay paye. hmrc we only hit the ones who pay via paye to go after the rich is not our game

they're all as bad as each other .... it's truly pathetic

Yes, the whole edifice is rotten from top to bottom.

Time to tear it down, and voting for the mainstream simply guarantee's that wont happen.


Just look north of the border, now you have gorgeous, pouting, Nicola threatening to put millibandus into no10 (for a small fee)... no doubt you can see where that will lead.

Unfortunately, if you chop the chicken's head off, it runs around in a circle before eventually dying!

-=-=-=-=

mark antony's speech comes to mind

It does?

Do tell.

its time to kick out the 3 main parties and vote ukip
weather you like the truth or not the uk is a cesspit of corruption
Cameron walking a way and will not answer questions on the rich donors
avoiding paying their taxes stinks .
to me it says Cameron is only interested in the crooks filling is pockets

"The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;"

the world is at war and going to spread even more by muslim militants

all the killers were asylum families seeking safety then they turn the gun on those that gave them safety .
time to say no to asylum seekers they will turn on the helpers

IDS, is shooting his mouth off again.

If you are a small business and pay for a service, or equivalent which you claim for as an expense for "taxation purposes" you are a fool if don't ask for receipt.

If it it a repeated expense claim and HMRC decides to have a "close" look at you books and receipts.

A house owner would be sensible if he makes repeated use of a tradesman, unless he has evidence of " the tradesman's credentials.

In practice the latter is unlikely to be investigated.

I suggest IDS like his policy implementations are not fit for purpose! (A nasty little man.)

If you are a small business and pay for a service, or equivalent which you claim for as an expense for "taxation purposes" you are a fool if don't ask for receipt.

===============

absolutely so, as has always but always been the case
it even applies to courier drivers using toll bridges/roads where it is actually impossible to get a receipt

Cash Payments I make and where I don't ask for a receipt:

Window cleaner who visits the house
Paperman who visits the house
Hairdresser
Barman at the pub
Car cleaning gang
Greengrocer at the market (but only one of its two sections - one does give, one doesn't give receipts)
In fact, most market traders never give me a receipt. They haven't time to bother with it.
Most car parking machines don't seem to want to proffer any kind of a receipt to me - or give me change, come to think.

With any of the above, I know I've paid and they know I've paid. I've got the goods (or received the services) and they know whether they have been paid or not.
By the way, I do not regard it as being my responsibility as to whether these guys declare their takings and pay taxes on it or not.

I pay my Council Tax using Direct Debit. This means cash goes out of my bank account for it once a month but they don't give me a receipt for each individual payment. I suppose they must keep a tally and they just knock down the 'balance owing' from the 'total annual amount due'.

More importantly, some commentators think the £ is about to slide towards £1 = $1.25

Why?

Well, if Labour wins, we’ve got the whole ‘anti-business’ issue. We end up with policies that sound like they’ll be popular at the ballot box, but turn out to be deeply stupid in practice (like freezing energy prices right before a massive slump in the oil price, for example).

Then throw the SNP into the mix. Suddenly we now have a left-wing minority government being propped up by a far more left-wing nationalist group, which is in the odd position of influencing policy-making for a country that it wants to break up.

If we get a Grexit, then some think some other countries will also have to leave the EU community too.

Add to that the total uncertainty of an 'In/Out' Referendum yielding an 'Out' result and whether the remainder of Europe might be unforgiving and lock us out of European markets, thus giving total disruption to the way ahead.

Aaargh! What on earth is one to do?
