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.

The clique in the cabinet reminds me of the Godfather and cohorts with parts of the UK becoming a banana republic.

More nonsense from Alf.

and why is it nonsense?

Because it doesn't fit his ideology and agenda.

Self explanatory.

in other words stan, you can't think of any flaw or untruth in what i wrote, but you just happen not to like it

Stan asking the same question many times and demanding an answer ,that's a bit hypocritical isn't it Stan ?

And once again juvenile behaviour displayed by the usual suspects.

you're being even more pathetic than usual stan, so i'll switch off for the evening

Cynic.
You are correct, the wealthier get access to plenty of tax benefits the average earner can't take advantage of. What pisses people off is the cheating bastards aren't happy with that and push the boundaries. Cameron is very careful when he protests he is not benefiting now or in future from his dads offshore trust. The fact is the little shit did benefit in the past.
Ps. I'm sure there are top Labourites with funds off shore as well.
We are all in it together may arse!!!

Stan you won't answer any question yet demand an answer from someone else.

So Stan ,IN or OUT the EU ?

Labour takes large donations from hedge fund managers who use offshore tax havens. There are senior Labour people doing the same thing. The Guardian is owned by a company that avoids tax.

Reading all of these different attitudes makes me realise you've all missed out some very important considerations.

Does the government spend the collected taxes wisely?

If we didn't spend our money on taxes could we devise a better way of paying for the things our nation needs?

Is direct taxation better than indirect taxation? Do we really need both methods?

Should all taxation methods be 'fair'? I ask this because, IMHO, some of them aren't.

Should all taxation methods be quite simple? Obviously, lots of them are not.

Hays
No doubt many Labourites fiddling taxes too. But this time it's Cameron family caught in the spotlight. The forked tongue two faced bastard can't easily spin his way out of this. Come on Dave shut down the loopholes and pay back what Dad owes.

Cameron's dad wouldn't owe anything as it is legal.

Cameron's dad wouldn't owe anything as it is legal.

Alf throws his toys out the pram alert!

Also Cameron still digging his hole deeper and deeper.. which is great to witness by all.

It will be forgotten soon.

You wish.

I hope pay-back time is at the next G.E. not the referendum vote!
