DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 12 July 2013 Share Posted 12 July 2013 You're not proud of one of the most iconic bands of the 20th century then? Ah well. Another comedian on the loose today, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicsmac Posted 12 July 2013 Share Posted 12 July 2013 The fact that the majority of us are so brutally productive that it allows the scum at the bottom to be comfortable to the point where they will actually complain that they're not being given enough free cash. Not to mention the scum at the top being comfortable enough to give themselves 'free cash' by hiding their earnings away in tax havens. Seems to be the folks in the middle get screwed both ways.

Seems to be the folks in the middle get screwed both ways. Nothing to say those in the middle can't save a few quid either. Plenty of stuff like internet holding companies thst handle finance to help you shift a few quid to pay less tax if people can be bothered to learn and look. I don't blame anyone for paying as little as possible whilst the government spends it on illegal wars, foreign aid and themselves. Certainly takes the anger out of watching scumbags with plasmas who haven't done a days work in their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think paying practically zero tax off a high six-figure/seven-figure income though is taking the piss a little bit, especially when those in the middle can get pulled up for fiddling far less.

Rincewind Posted 12 July 2013 Share Posted 12 July 2013 Mr Osborne saying he doesn't think foodbanks are part of the welfare state and has never visited one. The minister for social reform not having visited a foodbank since 2011. At least we Brits have a sense of humour. lol lol lol lol lol Isn't it also great that 200 cleaners are to lose their jobs in order that MP's can give themself a rise which totals a year of those 200 income from unemployment pay. I love this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this country. From what I've heard, the MP pay rise is actually the opposite - it should save money from all the expenses that they'll no longer be able to claim. So I doubt the MP pay rise is anything to do with cleaners losing their jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bovril Posted 7 September 2013 Share Posted 7 September 2013 Sticking on the topic though, I'm back in the UK for the first time in a while and seriously, how good are pork pies? And stilton. And real beer... Edit to say: and queuing. I know we get a bit of stick for our queuing obsession but if you queue properly everybody gets served quicker.

Harry - LCFC Posted 7 September 2013 Share Posted 7 September 2013 The BBC itself. I think it's fantastic that we can provide ourselves with such an impartial news source, relatively unfiltered by government or corporate bias. It's existence shows a great willingness by Great Britain to adhere to democracy by letting the people decide what they think of the facts rather than tell them what they should think. The principle of it is a truly great monument to civilisation IMO, very proud to have it. Comes with some great entertainment too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
