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.

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.

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.

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!

We will only know how legal Cameron senior's overseas ventures were if we get an open investigation. Evidence so far queries whether it was a legit off shore company. Looks like UK directors controlled it and overseas directors had no control. Dave boy promised to shut down tax dodging via off shore setups. But as with most of the shit that comes put of mouth he did nothing. Mind you Labour did nothing under their watch. Any wonder we're pissed off with politics.

If you "Con"artist voters are so "pissed off" as you put it with politics, then why the hell do you keep on voting for them?

The alternative was to vote for a gobshite who stabbed his brother in the back!

Neither Cameron nor I doubt Corbyn will be candidates in 2020.

"The alternative was to vote for a gobshite who stabbed his brother in the back!"

No it wasn't and you know it, Where does it say that you can only vote for two candidates at a general election then? the only time that has to happen is if there are only two standing.

Rubbish Stanley! Surely the criteria is to vote for the candidate and Party who you consider to be the best for the country and electorate at the time. It wouldn't matter to you and Fred if Popeye The Sailor Man was standing for Labour you would vote for him. Jezza what a joke, I rest my case.

What case you don't have one, your making wrong assumptions CC.. and if anyone's talking rubbish it certainly isn't me.

Stan
Neither labour nor Tory make any effort to close the wide open loop holes. One's as bad as the other. Why didn't Gordon Brown make an effort to do something. Even though Dave boy said he would act I'm not surprised the lying bastard did nowt. But Labour had the opportunity with Blair and Brown and sat on their arses. Politicians all talk shit.

You seem to have a lot of practice Stan!

Pot and kettle CC.. and not for the first time.

Again Will, what on earth possess you to think that you can only vote for two candidates?
