How about multiple votes? One extra vote for every £1,000 tax you pay.

I feel exactly the same.

Good morning Ed.

My landlord is great, treats me like a valued customer.

That was good timing, my council tax bill arrived this morning. I always pay it in full on receipt, but not this year, instalments it is .

Beats typing it all out.

No way. They are only printing in a vain attempt at staving off deflation.

It depends on who's selling the houses .

Zurich.

Just realised, they are scotch.

Local council to support local house prices, I wonder why .

It wouldn't surprise me.

Everything about that man is below the belt.

Employer's NI is the worst as it makes the ignorant believe that it is not a tax paid by them but by their employer. Of course, in reality, the employer's contribution is deducted from the employee's gross salary.

NI is Labour's favourite. In the run-up to the 1997 election, when Blair kept saying "watch my lips, no tax increases", I couldn't believe that the TV interviewers let him get away with it and didn't ask "what about NI?". Sure enough, as soon as they got in, up went NI, bastards .

I hope Labour use that picture in a poster campaign during the next election, but if they don't perhaps the Conservatives will.

Most people lose money on the stock market. PMs are fine for a few grand, but a few hundred grand? Increased pension contributions, I'm retired . Giving to charity, I'm not that generous. You forgot to mention buying a house .

Absolutely! Only an estate agent would recommend buying a house at the moment .

My EUR bought at 1.5 EUR/GBP are doing well. NS&I are paying me 3.9% (not available for new deposits) and are, arguably, as safe as you can get.

In my case, NS&I and EUR .

I am in a position to buy a house, for cash, but I prefer to keep the cash in the bank and rent a house to live in. I can't think of a better defence against falling house prices.

I'd just sell the house.

Cash, any interest you get is icing on the cake.
