Seems the Conservative Party is dead .

When I was poor I used to vote Labour and believe in socialism, but now I’ve got a stash I’m a Conservative through and through. Its my money and I don’t want to pay taxes to have it go to lazy scrounging socialites who spend it on silly community projects to help those in need. Everyone can be a winner if they get off their backsides and work hard.

God bless America.

That is true. Just doing it for the weather ;-)

Jean Baptiste Colbert once said the art of taxation consists of plucking the goose so as to obtain the most feathers with the least hissing. These days, those that do the most hissing are those with the least feathers.

A General election is really an organised revolution opportunity. The electorate used to mull over will there be more work? Is that work better paid? Will I be better off? Now many will be contemplating, will I be able to work less? Can I cheat the system? Will I get more benefits? This GE will go to a party least likely to represent the long term interests of the nation.

scruff, are you saying Starmer and his mates could do no worse?

That's what I think and having gone to a half-way house last time (Plaid Cymru - they definitely couldn’t do any damage) am going to vote red, for the first time in my 40 years of voting, next time.

scruff1,
read this and educate yourself about the additional damage caused by brexit . We are glad to be leaving brexit britain and returning to OZ in next few months . Fortunately there is not a right wing federal government in OZ or in most aussie States but have elections every 3 years which is too frequent :)

scruff...post 393972...all to often within big companies the system set up is such the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing...a case of going round in circles is the norm...recently the CEO of Centrica (parent company of BG) was on TV saying he couldn't justify his large salary...think it was around 4mln...I guess boosted by rise in energy prices of last 2 years aided his targets...

Dont blame Brexit - blame the worst government I think I have ever known. It wasnt Brexit that outlawed the paying of dividends to investors, reduced the CG allowance from £12,300 to £6000 and now £3000, abolished VAT relief on goods bought by tourists thus gifting that tourist trade to Paris and reducing the overall tax take (QED Laffer), imposed windfall taxes on energy companies thus ensuring a drop in N Sea investment, the exit of two energy companies and shaking confidence in investors in the UK per se, increasing Corporation Tax from 19% to 25%. It wasnt Brexit that has brought about the impending collapse of the London market and the introduction of the UK ISA underlines how pathetically banal they are. All this is typically socialist self inflicted damage whilst at the same time increasing the volume and ease of distributing support for the economically inactive. It really is no wonder that such an incompetent bunch has taken absolutely zero advantage of opportunities afforded by freedom from EU bureaucracy. Hopeless doesnt even start to describe them. And the experienced and dedicated socialists havent even got their families' pictures hung in their new offices yet. Anyone thinking of leaving Britain, now would be a good time.

When I had my Springer the vets first question was is he insured? My response was no, its cash, all very affordable at the time but that was 20yrs ago before governments leant on small businesses.

When the role of the state is to smooth the way for corporate greed to exploit the hand that feeds them and their pets we know were in a fkd up system Scruff. UK animal insurance based treatment is exactly the same as US human insurance based treatment, it should be avoided at all costs.
