I just bought myself a high quality photocopier, time for a little “quantative easing” of my own. That’s how it works, right Gordon?

Labour ruins the country with excess taxation. They’ve even tried the huge IHT tax hit before, in the ’70s.

By quietly charging estates Capital Gains Tax _and_ Inheritance Tax (the earliest Labour stealth tax?) 85% and more of death estates was stolen by the government.

The dual charging was reversed after the tax profession exposed it, but not before a lot of little people were disinherited by the state.

I still think that the journalism was less biased than the BBC, the overall length was far longer than BBC stories, the reporting was more objective than the BBC (and didn’t include footage of the reporter, unlike the celebrity reporting that passes for UK journalism).

Sort of reminds me of the journalism the BBC (and even ITV) had 20 years ago. Wish that it’d come back…

EVERYTHING has now to be aimed at jobs, production and worthwhile employment. All businesses have to be treated as precious and encouraged to grow. All benefits MUST be less than gainful employment can bring workers.
This is the number one priority. I want to hear no more about ring-fenced schools and other such money-pits. I want to hear no more about child poverty that is not real poverty at all. I want to hear no more about social engineering. I want real engineering. You’d think with such a shitty infrastructure, we’d actually have a lot to do in this country.
Any party which says that employment and production are the main priorities gets my vote.

A lot of cleaning here. The piggies are filthy in their pens, it seems. Maybe it’s psychological, like Lady Macbeth washing her hands endlessly.

For unemployment to “soar above 3 million” it would have to SINK from today’s real figure.

Reading about the illustrious career of Brown the Chancellor, one gets the impression that many of his actions were prompted by a desire to undercut Blair and promote himself. Presumably he begrudged the promotion of the fluent and persuasive Blair over himself, formerly the up and coming man.
It’s appalling that such childish people should have got away with this, and that the sheeple voted this lot in 3 times in a row.
If the middle class feel hard done by, they’ve only themselves to blame. Their leftward swing voted this lot in.

You’re quite right. The only people to gain from ridiculous house prices are those who inherit a house. Everyone else is shafted by them.
BUT STILL, you will get news items beginning “Good news on the housing front. House prices rose by x% last month…..”
The only answer, and it’s probably too late now, is a higher rate of interest.
I cannot remeber one effort by Brown as Chancellor to check the runaway inflation of house prices; indeed, he seemed to smile benignly at it. What a plonker.
