No. I'm shocked that the Tories are hell bent on turning the UK into a backward nation.
Well Hell! They're not very successful at that at the moment.
Now Mssr. Hollande? He's excelling at the task!

Come on, get real. Small fish at the moment.
Just for a moment - remind me of the purpose of the creation of the welfare state? My biological father worked it out pretty quick - spent the next 60 years free riding on the backs of the citizens of this great country. He was a self made intellectual from the East End of London - with extrodinary charm and capabilities. He had no excuse to cheat on my mother, myself and everyone else.
I'll always resent the system that allowed him and other cheats to give nothing and take all. I couldn't live with my conscience if my attitude was anything other than completely opposite.

Great to see the Liberals putting education first. We are so off the pace on what needs to be the core of our future economic growth but this sends the right signal. That is where i would put my chip vs NHS

Indeed. Welfare needs to support the worst off, not create an incentive to avoid work.

Come on, it wasn't that cheap. It was quite topical and relevant to the Aldi comment.

Does NCS put Bozza on top rate tax! Btw, the UK already has higher top rate taxes you have a mortgage, wife and two kids, than Germany and other major euro economies. But still, not enough for labour, need to squeeze the pips until they squeek (was that the labour sayung, something like that)

Not true. I pay much more tax here than in the UK. There will be a few winners and losers but in the main, for most people, tax will be higher here. Take a look at the tax system yourself.

Was a BBC article i read yesterday. Will try and find it. Clearly they had to make some base assumption, i think pay was £240k and mortgage £750k

Given that specific scenario it does seem the German pays a little less tax. I'm pretty sure that in general Germans pay more; I'm certain this is the case across the middle pay bands due to the linear increase.

Agree, a narrow scenario and i suspect you're right on most other bands. Not sure 3% is a little though. Was just pointing out that high earners are not taxed lightly in the UK, which seems to be the perception
