Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Max,

Now what's a died in the wood Right Wing pusher like you doing reading the Guardian then?

I had the single They Shoot Horses Don't They , definitely Racing Cars.

...and in the meantime let's have the remoaners anthem.

Noel bless him

Stan

I read them all, and even the Graun comes with a good one now and again.

btw, did you agree with what was written?

Max,

I thought you were still reading your first Beano!

Vote Tory.

Austria election results: Far-right set to enter government as conservatives top poll

Austrian snowflakes will go gaga when they wake up :-)

PPE, Old school tie etc Mafias everywhere I'm afraid Max.

Max,

So will you!

Indeed Stan.

And it's not helping...they are not as clever as they think they are.

Not even that clever Max but well organised, disciplined and they stick together.. unlike this useless good for nothing Government.

So which great educational institution did you attend, Stanley? The Burnley College of Shoulder Chip Frying?

Nice to see you smiling there for once JJ.

Fred1new.....your cartoons are getting better I think....funnier than before....

Spreadsheet Phil appears to be on a kamikaze mission..



Philip Hammond's 'tax on age' plan to save his job: take from old workers and give to the young

Philip Hammond is planning a Budget raid on older workers to pay for tax breaks for younger people as he battles to save his job. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is understood to be examining ways to link tax to age to promote “intergenerational fairness” in next month’s Budget.

Tax breaks would be offered to workers in their 20s and 30s, paid for by cutting reliefs for older and better off workers.

One Whitehall source said the Budget, to be unveiled on Nov 22, would be a “bold” attempt to “restack the deck for the next generation”.

The policy, already dubbed a "tax on age", will be controversial because it will target voters who are more likely to vote Conservative. The Tories' disastrous election result in June was blamed on a poorly-thought through "dementia tax".

It comes as Mr Hammond is fighting for his job amid fears that he could be the first Chancellor since Norman Lamont in 1993...

I've just posted most of that on the Budget thread Max..you blind or what 😀

I missed that one Stan.

But what do you think of Phil's proposal? Vote winner or what??

It's only newspaper speculation Max so I really don't have a view on it.
