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.
