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.

Was it Freeda?
Certainly not any of the Bitches?

JB,

Yes, you do seem confused and I would agree with your self-evaluation.

Vicky,

I would think your needs are greater than mine.

Ask JB for a helping hand.

Jeremy Corbyn's left-wing Labour manifesto leaked
Telegraph - Kate McCann, senior political correspondent - 11 MAY 2017 • 11:24AM

Jeremy Corbyn will take Britain back to the 1970s by nationalising industries, forcing wage caps on businesses and giving huge power to the unions if he gets into power, a leaked copy of Labour's draft manifesto reveals.

The 43-page document, obtained by the Daily Telegraph, shows that Mr Corbyn plans to nationalise energy, rail and mail and will introduce a 20:1 pay cap for businesses.

The manifesto says Mr Corbyn is committed to achieving a "nuclear free world" and is "extremely cautious" about using Britain's nuclear deterrent.

The Labour leader will only send the armed forces into combat if "all other options have been exhausted", the copy of the manifesto states.

It also says that Labour will rule out a "no deal" Brexit and refuse to set a migration target, in a move that is likely to drive away its traditional supporters who voted Leave in the EU referendum..........

Well YOU asked mate .

See , Fred being totally racist again !!

He's a denier jimmy . Wasn't me gov sort of chap .

if you ask the average joe if he likes all the all the money-spending ideas that labour is throwing around, he'll almost certainly say that he does

now ask if he'ld like to pay lots more tax and you'ld get a very different answer

And the greedy get greedier.

and your point is what?
would you suggest the reintroduction of the old supertax band above say 150k that was certainly 98% and indeed, i think it went over 100% for a while?

I leave it to my betters to prescribe the levying of tax.

It depends on what you value as your goals for a society and how you think you can motivate society along the road to those goals.

It is nice not to have those responsibilities.

it's certainly been proved that high taxation demotivates

it's also a fact that you need entrepreneurs and risk-takers to create businesses, and they assuredly deserve to be well rewarded

however, there is a huge difference between the likes of philip green raping bhs, and say martin sorrell who earns a large shedload and indeed earns it, growing the business each year and returning plenty to his shareholders
and nor should it be forgotten that shareholders are often the pension funds who pay your pension

That is one view which I think it is cultural and rather simplistic, but if it makes you feel comfortable hold on to it.

("If you consider the person who has an idea is more valuable or important than those who put the idea into action." etc.)

Haven't they banned us from the €urobore song contest, and if not, why?

Talking about the eurobore , wasn't Junker calling the death of the English language last week , well after seeing last nights summing up I'd say that poss 90% of the songs were in English . But we all know Junkers is a total jerk .

Even Radio Luxembourg was in English. RADIO 208.... now showing my age but no sign of Alzheimer's.

Labour raised basic rate tax to 30% and possibly 33% in the 70's and it was Maggie who brought it down to 25% if my memory is correct.

Corbyn would end up having to do the same to pay for his La la land policies.
