    Oh that's odd, he claims to have "solved immigration" by pissing billions up the wall (pun intended). As for claims of "world peace under Trump" he keeps repeating, that's also completely untrue.

    No, I probably wouldn't last long in a Muslim governing country, you're right. Every religion says I should be killed, it isn't exclusive to the Muslim ruled nations. There are parts of the USA where I'd be disappeared very quickly. Which is exactly why I don't want an even more Conservative government than the one we just had getting anywhere close to power, ever.

    That would tax people who went without to buy a house whilst people living in social housing, like that late union chief of over £100,000:a year and some Labour MPs on £90,000 a year would pay nothing,

    With all due respect, that's been going on for quite some time already.

    Just putting it out there, but removing tax exempt status from all religions would raise about £2bn a year. Just saying. Maybe that's why they want us dead <laugh>.

    It wouldn’t necessarily. Land Value Tax only taxes unimproved land, not any buildings or improvements on it.

    It’s been quoted that people died so we had the right vote.

    My take on that is people died so we could live in a free society and therefore had the right not to vote if we so wished.

    I’m not voting.

    I didn’t say world peace under Trump, I said he caused less destruction than Obama. And I didn’t mention immigration. I said Obama deported far more yet he is perceived as a more caring person.

    I don’t think the C of E says you should be killed. Or the Anglicans. Catholics are against homosexuality but don’t advocate killing homosexuals. Only one religion advocates it yet people in this country pander to them. If they ever get the upper hand here then there would be problems.

    A property tax would soon follow.

    Then what happens to it?

    I assume your tax is exempt for agriculture?

    I don’t follow what you mean, Castro. I’m advocating a hypothetical situation where LVT replaces income tax, Stamp Duty, council tax etc. rather than on top of it.

    The Bible, which all Abrahamic religions base their teachings on, explicitly states that homosexuality is forbidden as dictated by God on several occasions. And while the local vicar isn't going to have me crucified, he isn't very likely to step in and speak up against those that would and that's just as bad.

    As for the Trump bit, I know you didn't, it was Trump that claimed that in his infinite wisdom/bullshit.

    Same as what happens with the Crown Estate now except 100% of the net income goes to the Treasury instead of just 75%.

    There’s normally someone famous who says they will leave the country if labour get in, but I’ve not seen that this time. It’s usually followed by a national fundraiser to pay their air fair. I think it was phil Collins and paul Daniel’s. Have I missed one this time?

    So no inheritance tax on land, no stamp duty for buying land, no tax on selling land or income gained from the land.

    Just simply a LVT annually on the land you own?

    And how many of those famous people who said that they would leave the country if we voted Brexit did so? Or those who said they would leave the USA if Trump won?Can you think of any?
