That is exactly what I was coming round to......... There's actually a little tale somewhere that illustrates it, about guys buying beer and the rich guy buys the most...but I can't find it...do you know which one it is...

I'm not a high earner by any means, in fact, these days I'm probably a low earner. Life's changed a lot for me in the last five years; less money and more happiness. I'm asking about fairness......that's all.....so answer the questions Max....don't swerve them like a politician.. Why is it 'fairer' to penalise someone for working hard and doing well for themselves?

Max, I was using it as a figure of speach matey...OK, use the amount of 2 million..... You've gambled everything, worked like a slave and now your company has made two million. Strike off 400K to take it to 1.6 mil, but hen pay 40% on that and you've for 960K left...you've just given half of what you've earned to the government ...and for what>?? NOTHING. However, Joe Bloggs living next door is working in ASDA,he's earning 12K a year and paying about £400 in tax...... You both get exactly the same amenities......Only you've taken all the risks and gambles and yet you've paid over a mill

But wealthy people also spend a lot of money Keeping people in jobs so more tax Make it fare everyone pays the same % so the more you earn the more you pay EXACTLY>>>>>>>>>> We spout about fairness this and fairness that, but the wealthy always get the shitty end of the stick...most forget that,,...

I'm not a gambling man but I'd have a flutter that the SNP will try to go even further and maybe restrict country sports with dogs more than in England. Hope I'm wrong.

I think you're jumping to conclusions when you say it was a white woman. It could have been any colour of any sex...tut tut..... Got me there, I'll hand myself in to the nearest reeducation centre

Yes, if they're acting illegally then they should face the full brunt of the law. Just like benefit cheats. I don't think anyones arguing that.... I wasn't refering to corrupt/bent wealthy people, but people who have legally done well, taken chances and made themselves a good life. Imagine you went to Thailand and stumbled upon a real money spinner, you put 2K into a business and made 20K fast and then the government said they wanted 20% in corporation tax.......you'd be a bit peeved, but you're down to 16 K now and decide to take that as your salary, but then the government want 4

No-one can say for sure what the intention is,but we do know for sure it will skew the unemployment figures. If it gives British kids a better shot at life and makes our country more prosperous then bollocks to the employment figures. But what if it neither gives UK kids a better shot at life, nor makes UK prosper, what if it's the exact opposite?

How many people do you know that make any use of what they learned in secondary school? A very small % of people I'm guessing,a complete waste of time for the majority,most should be out learning trades at 14 and not fecking algebra. Our kids who'll soon be stuck in 'education' until 18 won't be able to compete with other Europeans who can freely travel here and will have been in trades or trade schools since 13-14. Agreed! I should think that making kids stay on til they're 18 is for unemployment rates and nothing else...

Well...on a similar vein, why can't it be our religious right to hunt......

Absolutely, but is that not a good argument to reform state education? Rather than enforce a mandatory fully socialist system? To reform state education to ensure all state educated children are given the same education is to raise the masses to approach the standard of the elite. To enforce a fully socialist education system (ban private and make state the only option) is to drag the elite down to the level of the masses. Besides, I don't believe that our current state system is as bad as all that anyway. Though improvements can always be made and should always be strived for. Too

Some great points there. Well I'm glad someone agrees. In a minute someone will come along and tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about because they have coats, purse nets and any number of other inanimate objects older than me. One more thing, IMO, education, these days, isn't all that'. How many of this years crop of university graduates will go on to earn enough to start paying off their student loan?? How many will be stacking shelves or serving burgers for the rest of their lives? All of the wealthiest people I know went to state schools, they're all down to e

No, children educated through the state statistically will not have the same opportunities as those through private. But that doesn't put kids at food banks. Like I said, the state education system allows people from any social background to achieve quite reasonable comfort in life IF they are capable of making sensible decisions. Anybody from any background with sensible life choices and effort can get a University education. I wont hear any of this "poor people are priced out of Uni" because it's just not true at all. Is it fair that the rich can give their children better chances in lif

If we view the national deficit, we see relative consistency through years of tory power..... then labour get in and a shockwave hits the graph! Unfortunate timing or piss poor planning? Or repairing the damage done to infrastructure and society as a whole and making up for tax cuts made by the previous Tory administration? BGD, the money for 'society' has to come from somewhere. there's tens of thousands of lazy sods who don't want a job. You know why? because they don't need to work. For example, a friend of mine has a few kids, and he's trying to get on the sick. If he makes t

What about those who work just as hard or harder than the millionaire but due to just bad luck and circumstance are still struggling to feed their family every week? Is Capitalism good for them too? Because there's a hell of a lot more of them than the people that actually manage to improve their lot in life, Capitalism works on the idea that only a lucky few and not all those that deserve it will make it. It's not just about working hard, it's about being smart....... I do not know anyone who can't feed their family each week, and , in actual fact, most of the people I know who are

Playing devils advocate here....... Why should someone who has worked hard and done well through graft and earned , figure of speech, a million a year, pay 40% tax when a person who has never pushed themself and is content doing a warehouse job and only earns 10K doesn't have to hardly pay any? Both get a pension, both get healthcare? Capitalism is surely good for those who strive to work hard, better themselves and try to make their own life better?

Countryside Alliance - Campaign Strategy

They're trying their best. And the recent amendment was NOT about lurchers. It was about flushing with more than two dogs. -

A lot of thin-coated bitches loose fur around the hind muscles during the summer months. They grow it back for the winter. I've seen it a few times and there's nothing you can do about it I believe.

Local Authorities Outsourcing Pest Control Provision
J Darcy replied to budgie123's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
This might be your chance in life to put together your own company and quote for the jobs/contracts. You won't look back mate! IMO in years to come all council pest control will be out-sourced....
