That would be their poll tax if they did that, work placed pensions would drop off as everyone uses the money elsewhere, he’ll use it towards buying a house if you can afford it, then downsize and use that as an asset later in life, unless of course they start looking at bank balances, although a nice Cayman Islands one couldn’t be looked at.I see 3 of Rachel Thieves 4 key advisors are wanting to means test the state pension.
Staggering.
Now whilst it is lime limited (24 years for the average UK worker), it is a contract with British workers - if you pay NI contributions for 35 years you get it.
So removing it is tantamount to breaking a contract with tge British pdople.
Oh and it is means tested, in that it counts as income towards your income tax payment calculation as income. Oh and by 2027 you will pay tax on the base amount if personal allowances don't rise with inflation.
Jack Jones, former TGWU union leader, who fought for pension rights later in his life, will be turning in his grave.
EdiblesIt'd be interesting to know what the 'legalise marijuana' lobby thinks of all this. Hard to legalise a substance when the practice has been banned.
He could stop some of his best customers from drinking an addictive poison because they were smoking an addictive poison outside I agree.Alternatively, a landlord can throw out any selfish wanker that lights up and doesn't abide by the prospective new rules.
You'd ban kids with their families having a meal in a beer garden?I'd ban the kids..
Ah but the difference is if someone wants to assault their kidneys with alcohol they're not assaulting anyone else's, are they? And parents don't drag their kids to a pub to get pissed, at least not the ones I know. They take them to the pub for a meal.He could stop some of his best customers from drinking an addictive poison because they were smoking an addictive poison outside I agree.
And then they can drink and smoke outside somewhere else. Fortunately pubs make that much it matters not, phew.
Must be the selfish wankers dragging their kids there propping them up. The non smoking ones.
A lot of landlords smoke though come to think about it. Bloody hell double up chaps he will spend half his time stood on the other side of the road.
Wind permitting.
Do you mind if I ask what your age is?Ah but the difference is if someone wants to assault their kidneys with alcohol they're not assaulting anyone else's, are they? And parents don't drag their kids to a pub to get pissed, at least not the ones I know. They take them to the pub for a meal.
And the landlords who smoke probably do so in a private room, no?

Of course it’s bad health wise, but the knock on effect could be enormous. Lots of pubs, restaurants and cafe may end up closing because of this.No issue at all with Labour trying to ban smoking in other outdoor spaces like pub gardens. It's filthy as fuck, if you want to smoke, do so in the privacy of your home and don't infect others (including young children) with your habit.
36. Do you mind if I ask yours?Do you mind if I ask what your age is?
I thought you’d be around mid 20s what with the amount of naive bollocks you’re talking. Quite surprised you’re mid 30s.36. Do you mind if I ask yours?
Don't think that's true at all. I'm sure the same was said when smoking was banned indoors, but the pubs and cafes survived. The smokers will adapt just as they did then.Of course it’s bad health wise, but the knock on effect could be enormous. Lots of pubs, restaurants and cafe may end up closing because of this.
Rusholme for instance is full of outdoor shisha bars.
But then how on earth do they enforce it? Large numbers of younger people like to vape now, how do you stop someone using that outside a pub or similar.
Really we should have a choice.
If sugar and alcohol is safe in small amounts then why is there tax on them? Why are we taxing responsible people for unharmful habits.It's not. Sugar as a sweetener in some foods and alcohol as a social lubricant are okay in moderation. There isn't a safe level of smoking.
It's not at all. You make it sound as if I want to round them up and put them in camps. No I just want them to get help and not pass on the habit to others.

Fair enough. Now we've exchanged this irrelevant, bullshit line of questioning we can ignore each other.I thought you’d be around mid 20s what with the amount of naive bollocks you’re talking. Quite surprised you’re mid 30s.
I don’t agree. Loads of places were directly impacted because of the smoking ban. Shisha bars in particular are built for smoking.Don't think that's true at all. I'm sure the same was said when smoking was banned indoors, but the pubs and cafes survived. The smokers will adapt just as they did then.
And it shouldn't be about enforcing it, it should be about people respecting a common-sense rule.

They can all go. And almost no one would notice.Rusholme for instance is full of outdoor shisha bars.

You’ve clearly never been there. They employ lots of people and are part of the community. Zero chance they will be happy with them disappearingThey can all go. And almost no one would notice.
