I'm not saying they should feel guilty I'm just saying a tax break isn't a right and by not getting one doesn't mean they're being punished, it a sense of entitlement nothing more. Tory policy has led to only the comfortable feeling the benefits of the recovering the economy. There's millions of people all over the country working as hard if not harder who can't feed their children, you've failed to mention that and instead targeted a minority, which i agree with you on, but not to spite the 73.3% of the population who do work(the other 26.7% being made up of children, unemployed and the retired). That's wrong imo. Nobody should be getting tax breaks at the moment especially not the people who don't need one while the people who do are left to struggle(the unemployed don't pay tax remember). Standing up for the small of percentage comfortable people at one end of the spectrum to spite the small percentage of wasters at the other end is all well and good but what about the majority in the middle of the spectrum who are suffering as a result?

So what makes a hard working person who makes lots of money more entitled to a tax break than a hard working person who earns minimum wage? Do you look at the hospital porter who helps rush a family member down to surgery as undeserving while the bloke who spends his time on the golf course while he hires people to run his company for him and think well done sir, you deserve that tax break?

So what makes a hard working person who makes lots of money more entitled to a tax break than a hard working person who earns minimum wage? Nothing, My view is though that no tax breaks are afforded unfairly to either of the above two categories. What the issue is and will forever remain is when you have tax breaks awarded to lazy t***s and the grafters have to pay, irrespective of income. A bit like having a season ticket to watch that bunch of lazy f*****s do nowt against Crystal palace and then them affording fancy accountants to look for tax loopholes. None on here would have batted an eyelid if they had put in an honest days work

Immigration has got no better during the Tory years though has it despite all their promises....
The problem in my opinion is not immigration per se, but immigration without integration which is resulting in separate and divided communities throughout the land. This needs to be addressed urgently, and I would start by overturning the Tory policy of creating schools that are independent from the state, which in reality means religion sponsored schools, that in turn creates separatism and radicalisation from a young age..

No it hasn't. But the way Labour goes on about immigration and subsequent problems as if it's a recent problem is disingenuous and dishonest.

And of course it has to addressed. It just should have been from when Labour opened the floodgates. But they didn't, and now schools, G.P.s and hospitals are under pressure from the additional population pressures. And they blame the Tories. The hypocrisy is gut-wrenching!! No wonder people on here call politicians c***s!

But as long as Labour supports the unprivileged then everything's okay.

As I stated earlier in the thread, my constituency is a safe labour seat. My vote is irrelevant. I will therefore be voting UKIP. This is because I believe UKIP will come closest to Labour and the Tories, and the closer they come, hopefully the more the 2 big parties will realise that they need to shake things up or within a few elections they will be caught. I don't support UKIP by any stretch of the imagination but I want to see the main parties truly worried, then we might see a bit more honesty and common sense coming from them. Every vote for UKIP could count in that regard, even if it doesn't translate into seats, so I will feel as though my vote is at least doing SOMETHING.

If I were in a constituency that could go either way, I'd find it very hard to pick between labour and tory. I'm leaning slightly more to labour as Miliband has impressed me in these last few weeks, but I really would find it hard to vote for either of them.

EDIT: I'm not really sure if the above makes sense,I've had a couple and seem to be rambling. I know what I'm trying to say in my own head though <laugh>

Good reply, love it. Ive had a few too and understand you internal ramblings. Cant even find the smiley board but was going to put the thingy with a beer on. Cheers

Where do you get your info from mate? The Sun or The Mail? Labour to my knowledge have not once said that immigration is a recent problem...What they have said is that the Tories made an election promise five years ago regarding immigration targets that they have not even went close to making..

They did promise that RAW. ****ing stupid promise to make! Naive in the extreme. But they did. And they couldn't deliver.

But you're not going to deny what Labour did are you? Which they admitted to?

Two wrongs don't make someone right, RAW. Just makes them both wrong!

Politicians are the only lesser form of life below lawyers! And that's a fact!!

Agreed, but come on RAW the reality is that the Tories made a daft promise, Labour are shooting them down. Thats not the issue. The issue stems from a Labour policy re immigration and no-one likes it and no-one has found a solution to it. Labour can't throw crap at the failure to find a solution to their own error. Surely??
 
Allow me to put forward my opinion following 60 years of experience stalking this earth - Labour supported the working man in the 60's/70's - the torys got in with Thatcher (Keith Joseph the Right wing darling f**ked up so they picked that bitch), The women of Great Britain then voted for said bitch - not due to policies but the fact that it would be novel to have a woman prime minister - then we had the Falklands (bring out the Churchill {who was also a cnut in peace time btw}factor) then during her second term of office check out the boundary changes and the fact that Labour was now not sure of its identity he presto they got in again twice. Unfortunately the former WORKERS party known as Labour had by then cottoned on to the fact that now to attain power in this country you had to be seen to support business(not society) and helped by newspapers run by people like Murdoch and suck up up to these scum sucking ****ers(spelling should of been a B at the front). The rest is history so I have decided to attend my local Polling station on election day, take my card into the booth, pull the curtain and have a **** on the desk because that is what it means to me

The immigration figures are distorted though mate, we're powerless to stop EU citizens coming in and out of the UK, that's the figure on the rise. The figure falling under Tory leadership is the Non-EU immigrants, the ones that we can be proactive about.

Let's be honest, Labour are not responsible for that figure dropping.

I don't see it as a fail when the only figure that has risen is the one which is uncontrollable. I see a reduction in non-EU immigrants as being a success and certainly something Labour would not have achieved.

Until we pull out of Europe, we're powerless to stop the other figure increasing year on year.

I'm not voting for any of these lying ****ers. I agree with Juan though, we can't trust these labour lot to sort us out. They'll just spend spend and spend some more whilst helping the top and trying to help the bottom (lets face it all these politicians help the top, look at Blair he's minting it right now and Jack Straw the whiter than white politician has had his grubby mitts caught -> also see all MPs travel, food, expenses etc. All Private, all fine dining grrr). If it was labour running the show we'd probably more chavs spawning the sprogs right now and we'd be spending mor enad more and end up like Greece.

I don't like the Tories either so i'm not voting for any of these ****ers. I just don't want Labour in.
