thetrees Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Here's a question, if a political party that you despise wins the election on May 6th would you consider emigrating? If they do manage to win the best way is to vote with ones feet, get yourself and your family away from the place and to the nearest place of safety that speaks the lingo (Holland for eg). Number one place in Europe to bring up kids and it has coffee shops, kinda laughs in the face of the class A,B and C bolox. 8) Holland is a good shout, especially if Labour get in. You can then get used to a barren, featureless landscape, which is what will greet you upon your return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetrees Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 John Redwood will re appear from the shadows and delight in cutting services with one hand whilst touching himself with the other. I shivered when I read that. But then for John Redwood read Peter Mandleson or Simon Hughes. Every party has a slippery animal or two lurking around somewhere.

kidlewis Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I am worried about Jim Davidson and in particular Garth Crooks. Then again from my knowledge he does like to speed around a bit in his motor! perhaps he wants conservatives to cut the number of speed cameras.

Jon Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Surely we all want a Villa fan as a PM? Thats the most important thing. Sure he is a Villa fan rather have Jacqui Smith TBH. still, was quite amused on the news last night when Green Dave, the man of the people, was trying to talk football with some blokes and came out with the "I'm an Aston Villa supporter" line.

tonyh29 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Guess this one is aimed at the "Tories will look after the rich " members ... does this change your perception of what the current govt is doing v what the Tories might do ? current example Anyone entitled to claim tax credits – and that includes about half of all pensioners – whose annual income exceeds about £7,000 has some of their state benefits withdrawn through a means test. To be precise, claimants lose 39p of tax credit for every £1 of income above that limit. Then, like anyone earning more than £6,475 a year – the current personal allowance – they must pay National Insurance Contributions (NICs) at 11pc. Plus, to put the tin lid on it, like everybody whose income exceeds their personal allowance, they must now pay 20pc income tax instead of the 10pc they paid on the first £2,230 earned in the last fiscal year before Mr Brown cut off the bottom rung of the tax ladder. So, total deductions from their marginal earnings are 39pc, plus 11pc, plus 20pc – or a total of 70pc. What it all boils down to is that people earning about £7,000 a year are allowed to keep just 30p in every £1 they earn above that level. The scope of this poverty trap was set out in the Treasury’s Red Book. Funnily enough, the chapter was headed ‘Fairness and Opportunity For All’. the full article , obviously from a biased source , can be found here ..it's actually quite shocking IF true ...

Jez Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Why lie being a Villa fan? Seems odd, surely you would hop on board the glory supporting bank wagon of a big team rather than a team aspiring to being there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 The poverty trap is hardly something new, Tony. for sure but it's being cited as a major reason why people on VT would "Never" vote Tory ... which is why i wondered if the people that say it are actually aware of what is currently going on ?
