  1. Excellent. So the Sun is really hoping for a Tory SNP coalition or anyone but Labour.
  2. Does this headline convince you?
  3. This. Add up all your costs, double it then subtract what you can do yourself or save by buying discounted items. I saved a fortune by buying from ebay.
  4. Moving their HQ. Doesn't that just mean they move the wall plaque that denotes where they pay tax? They won't go, may pay less tax but they won't get the bailout from the proles.
  5. Florida have recently made off grid living illegal! You can't escape the powers that be.
  6. The Portugese are siding with Germany, probably best to keep schtum. http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2015/02/20/398414/Greece-must-respect-loan-deal-Portugal
  7. Noticed the other day that kitkat chunkys looked smaller than usual. Sure enough, reduced from 42g to 40g. Same price.
  8. Why don't the msm report on this? Is it so we don't ask questions?
  9. Here is the back story http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/out_you_go_norfolk_couple_must_rip_apart_dream_home_in_a_pig_barn_1_3924682
  10. The quality of rental in and around London is shocking. We had 2 months to find somewhere and had to settle for an ok place but I would expect a lot more for the rent I am paying.
  11. We have twin 2.5 year old boys. They have just started nursery 2 days per week to give them exposure to other children and adults and they benefit from a wide range of activities we can't provide at home. The cost is slightly more than my wife's income and we are struggling. This will change next September when they they qualify for state childcare.
  12. I doubt Kim has any understanding of IT and this will be some poor sods fault. I can't imagine trying to explain this with the very real threat of death hanging over you.
  13. A very good point. Farage should mention this if asked again to comment. Those most likely to be offended are from the world of Islam. Maybe even ask Cameron what he thinks about whether breastfeeding mothers should upset Muslim visitors or do it discretely in the corner.
  14. Surely if it's ok to feed a baby in public then it's ok to make one in public too.
  15. Agreed. My point is that hpi is the problem not granny. Why not make everyone move who has equity of 1 million or 500k by forcing a tax on them. Alternatively, put an end to hpi, raise interest rates and rebalance the economy. The mansion tax is just tinkering around the edges to make the left look like they are being tough on the rich.
  16. What if they reband council tax and you can't afford the new rates as hpi has pushed you up 2 bands. Would you be happy to sell up and move? Not everyone is happy with hpi including owners.
  17. In Zone 1 or 2, it could be a 2 bed mid terrace built for a factory worker. Granny might like living near her family and has no interest in the value of her home. Should she be forced to sell due to HPI? Granny isn't the problem and this tax will raise a pittance.
  18. The Japanese are too honest, they need to follow our dear leaders and massage the figures.
  19. And will they be able to service this debt and a mortgage/rent and a car loan and pay all their living expenses? No. The ponzi needs new blood. Maybe we need more immigrants.
  20. Nearly 2 weeks since his inspection and I still haven't received any oil for the worktops. He's obviously not that concerned.
  21. Sadly he's been right so far and it could be decades before we see any meaningful correction and by then prices could just drop to today's levels. I need massive wage inflation to buy, can't see it happening.
