It's an outstanding manifesto. One that is different, revolutionary and evolutionary at the same time. It will have immense affect on the lives of millions for decades. This is transformational stuff. Vote Labour in and see a real difference to your life.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

Yup, that's a quandary that we face. I might add that Mrs Swinson doesn't exactly inspire hope either.
Read this on the Sky News site...
"Money would also be raised by "tackling" tax avoidance and evasion, having an efficiency review of tax reliefs and expenditures, reversing inheritance tax cuts, imposing VAT on private school fees, scrapping the Married Persons Allowance and introducing a 200% second home tax."Comment

If you would just work in a good-old-fashioned state enterprise, pay your union subs then Corbyn and you would get along just fine.
Want anything else out of life? Well tough, you are just selfish and deserve to be punished.Comment

Originally posted by PerfectStorm View PostThere is a massive pay disparity in this country.
Some of the people on this site could certainly pay a bit more back in.
We earn that much because since we both left University (paid for by loans and small grants) about 25 years ago neither of us has had more than about a week where we were not in gainful employment.
We have also managed to bring up two kids, keep paying the mortgage and not get into debt.
At times to do this we have had to go without luxuries etc.
Why would I want to even consider voting in someone who felt I owed something more to lazy feckless tw@s who feel they should get stuff for free?
And we are probably not anywhere near the 'bottom' of what these socialist pariahs think is a 'too high' income and needs to be taxed more.Comment

Everyone, whatever they earn, will always think they don't need to pay more taxes. None of us do. However someone in society has to pay and it is only fair that those with more pay more.
To be fair though, at £55k you're probably going to be OK. Don't forget, we're talking MPs here .. so long as you earn less than the basic MP salary you'll be safe. Even MPs won't want to tax themselves any more doshI am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment
