Is that confirmation that you still don't want to vote your local Tory out?

Yep. I believe in Conservative principles and there's only one party - flawed that it may be - which espouses them.Is that confirmation that you still don't want to vote your local Tory out?
Labour under Starmer are of course vastly more palatable than the raving Marxists that were Corbyn and McDonnell, but still I don't believe in socialism as a long term successful formula. I want a small state, not a huge one. I don't want the government running anything other than things that it must unavoidably run. And I want people to keep as much of their own money as possible. I believe in great public services via and as a result of, a thriving economy. And not the other way around.
Of course I'm obsessed with the Tories. Isn't everyone obsessed with getting them out?Banging on about the Tories again Vic. If you're not obsessed with them, you're doing a fine job of pretending.
I don't give a shit who has raised the rates. Its the rates I object to. (And I am not even paying them, since I have no intention of moving. I just think it's a shite form of taxation, as explained)

Plenty still do well with them but the numbers are dwindling rapidly.
Chippy will have to pull up his draw bridge after the next election I'm afraid.

Have you thought of applying to work in the public sector?But Fujitsu run many successful projects, as do IBM, Accenture, Deloitte, EY etc and all the rest.
So what went wrong? What's the common denominator. It's the government. Everything it ever touches turns to shit. And yes I know the Post Office is not a government body any more, but old habits die hard. I see it myself with work on British Steel (as was, before it became Corus and later Tata. Public sector mentality. Be busy on something because you need to be busy, but for god's sake don't ever finish anything or else you might get reassigned to something else, or god forbit, be made redundant. So just plod along wasting your time, turn up at 9, fuck off at 5pm sharp and make sure you take your sick days, everyone takes them you know, so nothing to be ashamed of. In short, a fucking disgrace. No accountability, no responsibility, just buck passing and not giving a shit. I see it in the NHS all over the place. I see it at the Council offices. It's endemic in our public sector and former public sector businesses.

It's cheap enough I agree but it was free and nothing beats free. You'd think in this climate aware age that they'd want people to make better choices but nevermind.
There is a Tesco next to the train station and the roads nearby are not marked with single/double yellows.... You can sort of predict what's going to happen next. I might buy a share in a local company that makes yellow paint.
You wouldn't not use the train if the tickets were an extra £2 instead though would you?
A few weeks ago it was £1.80 for an hour to park in a dead car park outside a Co-op in Minehead. It was so dead that when I got inside the tills were shut and the kiosk was the only place serving with a big queue, so it was utterly pointless so I didn't buy anything in there. And it's not too far to drive to a Lidl and a Tesco with free parking.
Just doesn't make sense charging for parking there in the winter but the council needs the income.

So you should be happy with the stamp duty as it's the price of running a conservative government. Or you could express some buyer's remorse and tell your conservative deputy chairman that it's time for a rethink by voting him out.

It amuses me greatly that you and others like you seem incapable of understanding that a normal bloke like me, from a terraced house in Hazel Grove, who lives on a housing estate and who doesn't earn much, should not be like every other money grabbing twat who wants more and more off the government, and someone else to pay for it.Plenty still do well with them but the numbers are dwindling rapidly.

It would have to pay £100k a year although he would work hard in fairness.
I just don't get why poor people don't work hard, do they like having little to no disposable income?
