Thank Goodness taxpayer's hard earned money will not now be used as an insurance premium for a Rolex watch. Poor old bugger will now have to dip into his millions.Quote:

If there is anything Labour have stood out on, rightly or wrongly is that they have claimed to be anti austerity.

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.Quote:

IHT is the fairest and most effective tax to stimulate the economy apart from milking the richest. This so called Labour outfit has been very poor thus far but, in my opinion, they could redeem themselves by raising IHT significantly and redistribute the cash to stimulate productivity.Quote:

The benefits are obvious in terms of redistribution and opportunities to stimulate economic growth. I still believe by the way there should be a punitive wealth tax on the super rich so we probably largely concur.Quote:
