Re: Labour Election Promises (Broken) Thread

You have to laugh at these champagne red rosette mobsters, 4 years of Russian interference claims but are now sending a brigade to Merica to campaign in the elections for knee pads, I'm wondering if the same characters who denied the cheating in the last US election will be crying cheat shortly, vote for no one Goats, they are all Wefers no matter what colour badge, its a rigged game and the people have little say, but the tide is turning slowly.

I rarely do vote heath, usually it’s a protest one anyway to try and current incumbent….reckon I’ve put every different party’s name in the box over the years… a bunch of crooks as my old man used to call them

Ironically, that would be a lot better for the economy than people hoarding wealth until their mid 90s and then passing it on to their 65 year old kids, rinse and repeat.

The only issue I have with changing iht is yet again we are having a conversation about 'raising taxes on the richest' and excluding the actual rich people, whose affairs are organised in a way to avoid paying iht. Similar to any conversations about income tax, NI etc.

I agree about the money flow, but the very wealthy will just put it into trusts and pay nothing, really just punishing the middle men again, as they always do….

Re: Labour Election Promises (Broken) Thread

It's not about intelligence though I don't think. The UK is structured in a way where a certain 'class' of people never lose, no matter what the government does. It's a massive job to break that down. The low hanging fruit is the large number of people in the middle who aren't obsessed with money enough to focus their energy or resources towards avoiding tax.

I think you will find that group are getting more conscious of it during these slightly difficult times, no cheap mortgages, bills through the roof, cars seem to have doubled in price, as is insurance now….pubs, football, nights out…..crazy what it costs these days.

Re: Labour Election Promises (Broken) Thread

Aren’t there already strict limits on how much money someone can ‘gift’ to avoid IHT? Something like £3k (or is it now £1.5k pa)?

I have no idea if or how that is policed - and as Eric says, the very rich play outside the rules- but the rules are there.

It’s 3k….also, it’s at £325,000 but it gets passed on from one parent to the other so becomes £700,000, it might have gone up a bit more I’m not sure. I guess most houses in the London area are over this anyway

Hey sludge , genuine question would you be this vocal with your inflammatory rhetoric face to face with a past Tory voter such as myself, if so perhaps rather than hiding behind a keyboard put your money where your mouth is , go on I dare you. If you can’t stop being a childish online troll.

FYI this week's person that you're trying to get to meet up with you is JamesWales not Sludge, although hats off to JW's impression of him that someone fully fell for it

Re: Labour Election Promises (Broken) Thread

Going after inheritance tax now I see, another deeply unpopular one so should cement the new Tories demise even further, nothing like a bit of cash stress post death/funeral.
No point in working or saving anymore, no point buying a house, they will take it all….spend every last penny in the George Best style I guess…..

A lot of the people moaning about getting hit for inheritance tax are talking rubbish

If someone bought a house for 15 grand in the mid seventies and it's now worth 350 grand then it's the greed of the market that's done all the work to increase its value

What " hard work , pay my taxes , etc etc " is involved her ?

It's not a tax on how hard someone's worked ....a road sweeper works as hard as a bank manager ....its a tax mostly on a property and the value is nothing to do with paying tax or working hard

So If they are all crooks then you didnt vote ?

I would never not vote

If you don't vote then you can go and sit in the shed and complain all day to yourself

I would vote green if I was stuck
