That's what happens when socialists can't pay the bills for their expensive hobby's and general insanity, now cough it up. Someonw will have to, and that someone is always you.

I'm not entirely convinced of the first part, Frag, but the second is undeniable. The Tax-payer always pays for the State.

I am inclined to suggest that hence-forth all MPs salaries, benefits, and pentions are stopped, dead.

Importing everything that is backward in the world does that do healthy economy's, enjoy your kebab.

I propose we introduce a new law alongside Godwin.

In any thread, on any subject under the sun, the probability that Fragony will find a way to blame Teh Muslims is exactly 1.

Can't just decide I blame the muslims I have to do it first.

How many times should I point out that I blame these leftist idiots, does it exist in some alternative reality where it doesn't appear on your screens, that would explain a lot. And yeah, the English are going to pay more taxes because leftist idiots decided to import the world, or is that any less true because it is me who's saying it, because of I was beaten to it, so many times.

The Frag Constant?

Inevitable Fragmentation? (Or Fragation?)

More seriously, it's not the "importing the world" it's the "screw everything up, waste money and raise taxes to make us all poor".

[Fragony]

sounds good

This thread has been successful...

Even if you are going to tax people, why do it with such an obscure, innefficient system?

Since the whole concept of citizen-politician seems to be mouldering in the grave, maybe we ought to start charging for the privilege of being an MP/representative, instead of the other way 'round. The longer the tenure, the higher the fee.

Right now, I could go for having a Baron, or an Earl as Prime Minister. I wouldn't mind them re-instating the heriditary Peers and flipping Parliament so that the Lords are on top again. They can't do any worse.

After four years, they can put it to a referendum of who we want to rule us.

After all, Cameron is more aristocratic than the Queen anyway, he's just illegitimate.

Reminds me one one guy at Uni that kept saying the UK a dicatatorship, you just get a new dictator every 4 years...

I do wonder though, what would it take for them to pass this, and would they need support from the other parties as well?
Would there be any tangible benefit for those whos money is being taken here at all?

I'm also interested in hearing from our local Labour Org members as well what they think of this.

'Only Labour would think of taxing people for looking out of their own windows. Conservatives will scrap these tax-raising plans and abolish tax inspectors' rights of entry into your home.'

Inspectors scrutinise Ordnance Survey maps for details and use Google Earth, aerial and satellite images where homes cannot be seen from the road. They also have the right to visit homes to check details.

Could never happen in america, at least not without a armed escort.

The brits on this forum need to oppose this and other tax increases, as I enjoy reading your posts and would hate to have you pawn your computers because your in debt.
