The Conservative Party

[west didsblue]

The changes to Income tax and NI will give someone on a £1 million salary an extra £55,000 per year to spend - an extra 10.2%.
Meanwhile, someone on £25k will have an extra £285 per year - an extra 1.4%.

How do they justify this shit? The answer of course is they don't bother and will just tell lies when attention is drawn to it.

Plus of course if the million pound employee is a banker, the sky's the limit.

Or @Ric perhaps the Cuntselfservative party would be more fitting a title for this thread

Don't remember the flashing lights one, I've only got the one with Santa flying over the Eithad which I think makes me a JCL :-(

I can’t remember which Xmas I was given it. I’d never have bought it out of choice!


Is far more me!

How disgusting going back to old tropes like capping tax on coporations and increasing banker bonuses?

The fuck era are we in?

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Bankers bonus cap is lifted - its official.

This government aren’t even pretending to have the people’s interests at heart any more.

To be fair, it’s an EU construct that has made bankers leave Blighty and move to Paris and Frankfurt.………….

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Only about another 20 months of this shit show then, get them the fuck out.

There’ll be nothing left.

 

[Ric]

Feels like they know they're fucked at the next General Election, so are grabbing what they can whilst they can, and don't care about the consequences.

£GBP is tanking in the market. Down to 1.1184 to the dollar.

At least it’ll make all our companies cheaper to buy, if you live anywhere in the world but here!

Well that's strange as I actually know some bankers who have moved from Paris to the UK. They already earn enough.

Yeah - I got that impression.
Seemed genuine, authoritative and brought my chalk and cheese comment when compared to the tory lot on the other side.
I know little about her however.

Wikipedia tells me she is the daughter of two teachers, her Dad being a labour supporter influenced her political outlook. Oxford educated and went to LSE as well and is married to the former speech writer for Gordon Brown who is now Director General for Finance at the Department for Work and Pensions. Fun conversations in that house!

Her sister and brother-in-law are both Labour MPs too.

Ultimately she's have the usual labour problems because she's more centre left. It does feel as though this country needs a social democratic party which can form a proper opposition and not suffer infighting and issues caused by the Unions and left wing influencers.
