Keir Starmer

[Shetland Don]

Nae idea. My people deal with that sort of administrative malarkey and associated fiscal fripperies. My fixed income is subject to PAYE, and, as a *sole trader with no mission statement, targets, strategies, customers, turnover, staff (our most important asset, the fúcking militant thieving bástards), or assets against which I can offset corporation tax, that’s it. I haven’t completed a self-assessment form since the ârse fell out of my performing world in 2009, and my voluntary work attracts no emoluments or allowed expenses. “We are just ordinary folk”.

*on the odd occasion I treat myself to a haddock and chips (from the chipper, of course) I am charged non-returnable VAT at 20%, for which scandal I hope that Thatcher’s being spit-roasted in all eternity by Satan himself, and that he and King Dong are changing ends at half time. Quite how one calculates half time in eternity is one that I’ll leave to the quadrillions of bean counters that populate the sulphuric furnaces of Gehenna.

And yes, it is 0327, but I’ve had my 150 minutes sleep.

I trust I can rely on your vote?

All food that is moist and hot along with most drinks is subjected to VAT at 20%. Some women too should perhaps be subject to VAT, even at say 10%, in these trying fiscal times - maybe a topic for discussion at one of the Green Party’s sponsored luncheons, Lorna?

1 May, 1984 was the date that the late Baroness Thatcher introduced VAT on takeaway food - I don’t remember that at all as I couldn’t even afford a takeaway back then and we had very few takeaway food outlets in Shetland at that point in time anyway!

Welcome to the point I’m making about licensed spivvery.

I thought it was a bit of whataboutery as is was posted in the 'Son of Toolmaker' thread.

You'll get no arguments from me about them all being at it, but clothes for your Wife takes some beating.

That would be a wh0re of a thing to get through parliament.

It’s truly lamentable TheDeeDon, why can’t Vintage buy his wife her own clothes!? They’re certainly all at it!

How would you broach the VAT-on-women question? If it was to be approached similarly to the 1984 VAT introduction on takeaway food, you’d need to get in the bit about “moist and hot”, surely? Maybe, though, if it was proposed at 10% then “damp and warm” would suffice!?

[Donanddusted]

It sounds better than wet 'n' windy.

I've heard he's a bit tight with his millions and the paltry allowance he gives his Wife to look after the house doesn't cover such luxuries like clothing.

[Bojangles9]

I looked up the clothes story after seeing it here - genuinally first time I've even seen his wife. I don't even know her name. Not like shes out there doing 'public service'.

Pound to a penny if Rayner or Cooper had been PM the rich bloke wouldn't have been donating suits for their other half.

Creepy AF. Creepy.
