I say it all the time. We need smart public spending, but we must have more tax in to make the world function civilly but the wealthy use donors to own politicians and this Labour don’t have the balls to take them on so we’ll pay. I don’t mind a little bit more tax if it can go on kids who need it but not on the House of Lords and the royal family.
It didn’t used to be though. Just an incentive to spend it all a lot quicker. It will be interesting to see how it plays out
I think it should be like income tax. For some families it’s god send for getting young adults a car, mortgage, for olders hope of a retirement at a reasonable age, a holiday etc. Higher inheritance should have higher rates, Lower ones lower rates
Vile but sadly not surprising. Blocking Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending an Aston Villa match is the "wrong decision", the prime minister has said. Sir Keir Starmer criticised the move, saying "we will not tolerate antisemitism on our streets" and that the role of police was "to ensure all football fans can enjoy the game, without fear of violence or intimidation". Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch branded the decision a "national disgrace" and suggested Sir Keir should act to reverse it. She wrote on X that Starmer should "guarantee that Jewish fans can walk into any football stadium in this country". "If not, it sends a horrendous and shameful message: there are parts of Britain where Jews simply cannot go." Ayoub Khan, the independent MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, welcomed the decision: "From the moment that the match was announced, it was clear that there were latent safety risks that even our capable security and police authorities would not be able to fully manage." Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar called the decision "shameful" and urged officials to reverse it. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said it was "a serious mistake," adding: "You don't tackle antisemitism by banning its victims. This decision must be reversed." Meanwhile, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said the move "takes racial discrimination to a whole new level".
'Meanwhile, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said the move "takes racial discrimination to a whole new level". Shameless ....
‘Quick let’s take this away from the real issue because it’s only them horrible Jews and they don’t matter anyway’
How could I 'take this away' from any issue ... there's only two people on the thread. My comment was about how Farage will jump on any bandwagon, including this, no matter how hypocritical he's being. I'll stop posting now to allow everyone else to discuss the real issue.
