If that's OK with you fair do,s.

Commendable. Would you like the idle rich to pay more on these things than they do crash? They don't need or deserve all that money do they eh?
If only we could choose who to pay tax’s too eh
Police 15%
NHS 45%
Benefits 10%
Fire 10%
Armed forces 20%
Pensioners 0% they seem to moan a lot about benefits lol
Silly by name .
I hear this a lot about people at the top being the real villains. I'd be interested how you'd view these two people.
Dave left school and had a succession of jobs before falling back on benefits. He could work, but chooses not to because he's got three kids and would only earn about £50 a week more than he gets on benefits (about £20,000 a year). He contributes nothing to the exchequer.
Chris left school and started his own business. He now employs thirty people earning an average of £25,000 a year who all pay tax in the normal way. Chris earns £1 Million a year which he should pay about £400,000 in tax on. But through using an offshore tax structure he only pays £150,000.
So who's screwing the rest of us over...Dave who's a net taker to the tune of £20,000 a year or Chris who pays £150,000 personally and a lot more indirectly but is using loopholes in the system? Who should we vilify....the bloke taking £20,000 a year or the one contributing £150,000 a year?

Firstly i'll say this, i'm all about fairness, and have no problem with folk getting on and earning a good wage, not at all, what i'd say about your post is that the system is quite obviously skewed in both ways, firstly by not having a decent living wage structure we have bred these people for years, low wages encourage this behaviour, a living wage would do two things, encourage people off benefits and into tax paying work and increase spending therefore aiding the economy.
Secondly, the bloke who has done well for himself is still cheating the exchequer, because he's avoiding tax, whether legal or not.
All this tax avoidance/evasion stuff means this, those taxes were put in place for a reason, and to dodge a tax, whether legal or not is quite frankly wrong.
Here'a one for me old muckers crash and lasterman. read and enjoy. (I know Im NOT ya mucker crash).

Don't let reality get in the way of bollax eh guys?
Another point Lasterman not many millionaires have made their money without exploiting workers by paying them crap wages and giving them poor working conditions. The word you are looking for to desctibe this process is "greed",

I read last week that over 65% of the appeals were upheld.
The main problem is the delay in between the examination and the result. At least in my sisters case it was. The mental strain of not knowing whether you're losing your rights because they've moved the goal posts is unfair.
