2015 UK General Election Thread

[Sirius]

Just sent the local Labour guy away from my front door with a few choice words that included words like " there is not a clucking chance that i will vote for your lot".

So glad i took this week off work it gave me the chance to meet him.

Looks my football team owner will be selling up and be moving to Yank land (were the poor stay poor and the rich get richer) if Ed introduces the non-Dom tax law (good on him).

Well done Tony Blair (the best Priminster the Tory's never had) for supporting Ed.

The Labour candidate for Stevenage keeps going on about knocking on doors in Stevenage, yet when I called her out on Twitter for not visiting my street she swore she did. Joker.

Yep, every one that goes costs the treasury £100,000 a year. Masterstroke.

45% or 50% of nothing is still nothing.

How many young men died in Iraq because he lied to get us into that war. Now he is supporting Miliband, if i was Miliband i would of told him to stick his support up his arse.

Not to forget the 100's of thousands of civilians that also paid the ultimate price for his arrogance.

Not to the mention the British lives lost in Afganistan for what!

Only if their income isn't reported as being earn abroad. The case this morning of the HSBC executive whose born in the UK and lives here but gets paid abroad and has non-dom status because he lived in Hong Kong for a few years is hard to justify. How can people who've lived here for years, even decades, qualify as domiciled elsewhere for tax purposes?

Where did you get the figure of £100,000 and how much will that be made for by the increased revenue?

One of the problems is that it doesn't encourage investment as that will be taxed at UK rates. All it encourages is keeping your assets abroad in tax havens. It's probably why this particular tax break hasn't caught on in many other places in the world.

This is a position of principle, not profit. If you live in this country, you should pay the same taxes as the rest of us.

Dave wanted our soldiers in Syria, Labour didn't. But Dave is not a Labour politician so that's all right then ...

What, the principle that it will cost the country money*?

Did Dave say the Chemical Weapons could be fired at 40 minutes notice?

[Osem]

Did Dave have secret talks with Bush about what was really going on?...

Bliar presided over what happened. He made the decisions, he told the porkies and he should pay a price. Instead we have him jetting off around the globe making 'peace' in inverse proportion to money. ****!
