Man in hospital after brutal attack in broad daylight as police horses attend scene in Glasgow's Buchanan Street
Did I say that? Or did you make up some lies that I had said that? All Goldman Sachs are saying is that it will be easier and cheaper for them to run their European operations from a country inside the EU. There will be a lot of companies that export to the EU that will say the same.
Ignoring the fact that I was referring to Peter being robbed by taxation, no of course we don't leave people bleeding in the street. However, we need a welfare state that is a safety net, not a fishing net.
yip. i would be the first one to agree with that. plenty work needing done. plenty of ways to fund it with our taxes. i guess it's just the hippy in me that says if you push a me me me message. all you will get is people shouting me me me. if people like myself just sit back and say carry on tory boys, do yer thing. we will all be poorer in one way or another. and that really aint me atoll.

A did you know you can now get a mortgage from a high street lender that will include benefit income as part of an individuals income when assessing the amount that can be borrowed?
Today I had a fish finger sandwich and it was lovely, duke later reported it as the U.K.'s fishing fleet is about to go into liquidation and fin reported it as the tory unionists in westminster hate the fishies. One out of two ain't bad
they dont hate the fishes stoopid, they love the fishes, so much so they will trade em away again for the benefit of the city. again.
I didn't know that. Thanks. It's madness - combine that with ultra-low interest rates, QE, "Help to buy", "Shared Equity" and all manner of other initiatives (I note that Nationwide are encouraging first time buyers to use their parents' savings as some sort of security too now...), and it's no wonder that we have an insane gap between average income and housing costs. Nobody dares to, or knows how to, let the air out of the bubble gradually. I've just had a robot phone me up and say that if I am "on benefits" the government will buy me a free replacement boiler... and the deficit is still in the region of £50 billion p.a.
It looks as though the SNP have done really well in the Council Elections.:cry: I don't give a flying f*** about UKIP - they have done their job. As for Labour - well, what can I say? Diane Abbott reckons they only lost 50 council seats - her maths are terrible or she is completely deluded like Corbyn and those that support him. :smirkcat: The Tories - I don't trust them an inch, but it looks as though May has stuffed the SNP, Corbyn, Farron and the EU all in one week.
The system is fucked. We have a benefits and taxation system that encourages large companies to pay low wages knowing that the government will make the shortfall up whilst these self same companies don't contribute their share to the taxation system. We also have a housing market that is geared to maximum profit for minimum outlay, all the time pushing prices ever higher so that buying a property to actually treat as a home has become impossible for those trying to get on the ladder unless they are funded by either the Government or their parents. It's a system doomed to bankruptcy eventually as the government of the day keeps kicking the can down the road hoping that the bubble doesn't burst whilst they are in power.
