Britons beware, Labour to rejig council tax

[Banquo's Ghost]

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".

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

I think you are going to have to take that wicked calumny back. The Council Tax system was introduced by the Conservatives, and therefore cannot have anything to do with The Collapse of Civilisation®.

Well, that was after Labour whipped up the public against the perfectly reasonable "Poll" Tax, which would make a lot more sense if only everyone over 18 had to be registered to vote.

what we need is an accepted revelation within the british political zeitgeist that it is IMMORAL for the state to spend more than 33% of GDP outside of national emergencies, and no, furthering the revolutionary cause by emancipating the proletariat from subservience to the bourgeois does not count as a national emergency.

Further any sitting government that were to achieve the holy grail of public spending (25% of GDP) one year prior to a general election, and still win that election, would have their next term of office extended from four to five years.

Poll tax being a good idea? Only in a limited capacity.

I would change it, the government is not allowed to go in debt at all, unless it is a national emergency. (and rainy day money doesn't make up for the shortfall)
