Depends whether you're on PAYE or not. Those of us who are are subsidising those who elect not to pay their taxes by either not declaring their income or employing a clever accountant to find loopholes which minimise their liability. If you're on Paye you have no choice, otherwise we'd all be pulling this sort of stroke.
Sod, I'm on PAYE and the highest tax bracket (which is super annoying as I'm not rich at all). Not by their standards. Long as the minimum taxable allowance is raised, I should be slightly better off.
It's shameful that New Labour (or Gordon Brown) had 13 years to raise the tax threshold and refused to do so, leaving it to the Tories to do so. It hasn't stopped Milord Mandy from crawling out of the woodwork to put the boot in.
The only post I would 100% agree with on this thread and I also was delighted Farage did not get in. In fact when you listen to Carswell he comes across as very much a moderate in comparison no wonder that party is so split and has its own factions not that I could ever agree with what they believe in including bringing back fox hunting which the tories are now trying to get back in on a free vote. The problem with PR is people had the chance to vote for a form of PR, AV, the only one the tories would allow, a few years ago but overwhelmingly rejected it. So people from the isolationist party now moaning about their lack of representation when so many of them voted against and spoke out against it to me is just sour grapes. On another post someone mentioned the tories should've brought in the 10k odd tax threshold earlier, Just for the record this was a Lib Dem policy which the tories were dead against but had to bring it in as agreed with the Lib Dems in coalition and are now claiming the credit for it. It says it all about them really,
I think that was me saying that New Labour should have brought it in. They had plenty of time to do so, and it's a disgrace that they didn't.

Regardless of what people think about UKIP, it still stinks that the party with the third largest vote share gets one seat. One seat is simply not a true reflection of how the nation voted. Still, I could never rally behind a party that advocates the killing of foxes.
Not guilty Dick I am a long way off 33, no longer a season ticket holder while the Belgians are in charge....and mass immigration is my bete noire....not that topic...
No joke. I would never kill anything for the sake of it. I decided on that when I watched my grandmother pour boiling water on an ants' nest: it was senseless, needless and downright disturbing. I've swotted away a few humans, though. And don't get me started on fishing.
Ponders- a repeal of the Hunting Ban is coming up in the new Parliament - one of the most iniquitous and pernicious pieces of Class War perpetrated by that son of Fettes, Blair. I am sick to death of foxes knocking over my dustbin in order to seek out a 3 day old chicken tikka masala takeaway. Exterminate !!
Ask your local council to provide a scraps bin with secure lid. Failing that, you could develop a compost heap. Banning fox hunting is one of the few good things Blair did for this country.
