Meanwhile, Tory ministers continue to fu'ck up, Fallon a racing pervert, Priti Patel goes on a wee secret visit to the government of terrorist state Israel, the Minister for Foot in Mouth, Idiot Boris likely to add 5 years to a woman's sentence in Iran for what appears to be the crime of being educated. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

That's true enough Shan.......................but of course, that's entirely the problem.

The toffs feck the world over, society in the UK falling apart, child poverty, huge quantities of food banks around, over 1000 last I heard. Young people mainly in dead-end jobs that aren't even permanent enough to qualify for a mortgage, kids living with their parents, they can't escape, any wonder mental health issues are multiplying.

Every idiot in the country utterly convinced the UK PLC can't afford healthcare, education etc. etc. even though we can bomb as many countries in the Middle East as we decree are worthy of receiving our bombs.

Meanwhile, the well to do continue to consider taxation an inconvenience they can do without and generally do not pay.

Financial prostitute countries like Switzerland & Ireland have nothing to learn from the UK, the world specialist at producing tax havens in former colonies and crown dependencies, the previous PM's father ran an offshore tax scheme for a company that never paid a single penny of UK tax FFFS.

So, no Shan ................ no surprise at all. Doesn't make the leeches who want the poor to fund the services they enjoy any more palatable or worthy of anything approaching respect for their greedy wealth. That Louis Hamilton is a proper cun't, I hope he crashes his F1 car, or any other car, his private jet, whatever and dies ......... the parasite.

Yeah that is about the size of it Baggy. Even worse than those born into privelege are the ones who cheeelead them while at the same time whinging about some poor unfortunates who have the audacity to open their mouths to collect a few stray crumbs. Worst thing is the cheerleaders are in a lot of cases a job loss away from the same fate. Tuppence looking down at a penny as the Ma always puts it.
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

You are such a silly boy Russ, do you understand accounting? Do you understand even the very basics of what can be done to the gross profit figure to reduce the net profit in all manner of ways, and that even assumes that the gross profit figure is remotely accurate.

I’d think you might find all manner of interesting payments for as we now know, the Royal Family appears to use the Al Capone method of financial propriety.

Bought quite a bit of it actually over the years, the 2 main bidders for large farms in the UK are Crown Estates and the Mormon church.

I've just watched a BBCNI programme about the latest Tory plan to disimprove the lives of the disabled & generally infirm, Personal Independence Payments. Now there is no doubt that it's predecessor DLA has been royally (and I use the word advisedly) abused but they appear to be cutting wholesale and of course the BBC were able to find some poor craters who have been dreadfully treated.

I was glad to see they could, because I've been horribly upset that the BBC has recently joined the scummier outlets in the media in producing a show which essentially is prime time entertainment inviting viewers to hate people on benefits.

Let's be clear, I've known all my life that I pay tax to provide community services despite many of the wealthiest in the country not paying a penny, I pay for their roads, their hospitals where they pay (& probably manage a tax refund) for private medicine that relies on doctors that my taxes trained in provided the equipment and facilities. I see no problem with someone with MS getting a mobility car - is civilised, the price to happily pay for the chronically ill to have some measure of personal independence and a life whilst they continue to breathe.

I consider UK life to be so muddled in what and who it values, fuc'k me but I can't wait to leave.

It may have been Jesus............................ but I think it was Lemmy who said it best, "Come on baby, eat the rich".

I didn't ask if you had a bit of paper, I asked do you understand it. If so then you will understand that your statement was theoretical bullshite. You will also understand that your profession is morally bankrupt.

In the good old days if they fancied a nice bit of land they could just take it. Like 'oh that country is nice - give it me!'

A lot of wealthy people today owe it to land seized by their ancestors in yesteryear.
