O/t £1bn To Prop Up A Minority Government

[gm_gm]

I think you are right about Thatcher Animal.

Truth is, although I disagree with them on many issues, I respect the opinion of those on the right of politics. Its a perfectly valid argument that governement should interfere as little as possible in our lives and that business should be left to create wealth with as little taxation as possible. Surely the decent honourable tory supporters can't stomach this. This has nothing to do with whats best for the country, the tory manifesto was a continuation of austerity, this is simply to keep them in power. They are using the money we pay as taxes, that small businesses nationwide create to prop themselves up. £1bn for 1.8million people, far less than the population of West Yorkshire, all for the support of 10 ultra right wing fanatics, not to mention the problems this will cause with the Northern Ireland peace process.

Happy birthday Tony

My point is on this thread and others is that to increase tax revenues you have to lower them, cyclops and the joker were fortunate to preside over a booming housing market which fuelled FS and raised revenue.

Corporation tax rates can ultimately affect income tax revenues through investment and recruitment. Duetche Bank, investec, Lehman, city group, GE capital and some major venture capital companies created over 80,000 we'll paid jobs which are now gone.

Care to enlighten us about anything that Karl Marx wrote about the structure and workings of the capitalist system that has been proved to have been wrong? Take your time...

Did Karl Marx buy his council house Mike with huge discounts?

It failed the fire safety test so he turned it down .

I think he resisted that temptation as he knew the Tories would only take it off him if he became ill

This £1bn should come from tory party funds and not the taxpayer .

Although I agree with your sentiment that just wouldn't be possible in the timescale that she had if at all.

That was a labour polcy to start with wasn't it and one that worked well for those people who made use of it. The problem came when the moenies made from the house sales wasn't used to consruct new ones.

The best thing about council houses is that the population can move to where the work is. Being stuck in one place like a pit village that has closed its pit is that your house value can restrict you from moving on.

& which Gov't would not allow Councils to reinvest the monies raised into new properties?

Well then they should attempt to govern with a minority or call another election frog .

These kind of tax funded holding onto power deals need ending , they are bribes , nothing more and nothing less .

The first time the Labour Party pulled this stunt off I'd end my membership and my vote with it .

Yes I know Brown talked to them in 2009 and thank goodness he walked away .

The frustrating thing for all of us who have been caught up in this merry go round of hope is that as much as we don't like it the UK is going to governed by the Tories for another 5 years unless they decide to do anything about it.

I'm don't think she will last into the winter myself frog .

Paying the £1bn was the easy part and now they have to make it work , plenty of tories will be uncomfortable with this especially those whose seats are marginal .

The DUP have the tories by the bollox , they will be back for more money very soon .

We are one bomb or bullet away from returning to NI civil war , we have brexit , the grenfell tower tragedy , the economy is slowing down and inflation is creeping up .

She's massively unpopular and I have to say looking worn out and ill .

They are going to come under massive pressure to call another election and I think even their own media can't stomach much more of this .
