  3. I think I probably am / are.....

    Look at what the unions did to the UK.........

    It was they that buggered the car industry; coal industry (or rather buggered it for themselves); railways (still trying to bugger it); utilities (one of which caused the 3 day week); etc and I can remember rubbish piled high in the streets and dead bodies stacked in the mortuaries (courtesy of the Commies and the unions).

    So when McDonnell says people in the NHS and other organisations should come out on strike to support, say, the train drivers' strike and vice versa.......

    .......then you know where the UK will be heading if the Commies get into No.10.

    Effectively what the Commies want is to have the majority of the minion taxpayers in State controlled employment........that way it guarantees the largest regular tax take.
     
  4. Speaking of Commies, the Chernobyl mini-series is worth a watch

  5. Crossing into the higher rate tax band can adversely effect other tax allowances like the Married Persons transfer of up to £1k unused personal allowance and child benefits.

  6. I agree the Unions have made some huge mistakes and caused problems where there were none.

    If we take the UK motorcycle industry, the union strikes at Meridan were disasterous. So was the lack of investment and management of the worlds leading manufacturer. British motorcycles once outsold all others combined which means there was plenty of money made. For the same models to be on sale twenty years later says to me that there were more than union problems to blame.

  7. Labours claim that the 5% will pay for nearly a trillion pounds and the 95% of people will pay no extra taxes would have pinnochio even afraid to say it.

    If labour were genuinely after the richest, they would be going after just the billionaires and millionaires, not those at the bottom end who tried to take a few steps up. This is about keeping the poorest where they are and removing opportunity for those who want to achieve something.
     
  8. Poorest, £40k you are having a george aren't you ? Why would anybody want to do O/Time apart from greed. The employers need to have their staffing levels right at all times to cope with emergencies and planned maintenance not relying on overtime to solve the problem.
    I feel sorry for your boy earning the top pay on that Tax band........ not.

  9. You want to try living on just the State pension there's no trying to take few steps up on that.

  10. Let me ask you chap, when labour said they will fund nearly a trillion in spend by going after 5% of the population and 95% will see no tax rises, did you think they will be taking all that money from the claimed 151 billionaires end in the U.K., or the hundreds of thousands at the £80k end? be honest now
     
  11. Both and i see no wrong in that do you ?
     
  12. I see whilst promoting "going after the billionaires and millionaires" as they have claimed, Most of their spend income will probably come from people earning less than 100K.
     
  13. Tax for the Many (Not the Few)!
     
  14. shame.

  15. As it has been confirmed by HMRC that 95% of people earn less than £80K it is Tax for the Few (Not the Many)
     
  16. The good thing is when you look at the figures from yesterdays manifesto, it's dream world and is never going to work. The idea that 95% of working men and women will face no extra tax can only be seen as accounting by a banana republic party that even mugabe would be proud of.

    But more so, this is the year that the labour party promised to go big game hunting looking for the big beasts, and when push came to shove, all they shot was squirrels.
     
  17. I absolutely love people who believe that a major change in a dynamic, unconstrained system will have entirely predictable, and beneficial, effects, with all upside and no downside results.

    People who believe that are, quite frankly, adorable.

  18. Unions didn’t destroy the British motorcycle industry, greed, laziness and arrogance at the top management level did.
