Over taxed by 'New Labour'

Thenadays failing to trutinate our Government pronks. The psychopomp is simply mindboggling, however not being very swasivious and suffering from alektorophobia the middle-classes sacrifice corn-fed chicken on the doorsteps of parliament.

I'm just another person i'm sure who is fed up with being taxed, taxed & taxed, when will it end?.
Of course while we are being taxed the ministers who bring in these tax laws are cliaming second homes,holidays abroad, wineing & dineing, the list goes on. Which I and many others pay for, and to top it all off they give themselves over the top pay rises. I would like to see a political party manifesto stating that they will do away with all of the above. Hang on I'v just seen a pig fly past my window. To summarise goverment daylight robbery.

Now the pound has dropped drastically relative to the Euro. This is equivalent to a tax on the working man in this country of 5% more.

so if you feel tax is too high, why not spend less on luxuries and stop complaining

Hi Nikki, how are you. I trust that since the workers at my place got caught playing games your life has been easier!
In your last post about why do we go running to help others, I think it may have something to do with our continuing obligations following the decline of the Empire. I believe that we have significant legal obligations toward many of these countries. The middle east is a different issue though. I think we are there because of oil.

Why doesn't the good Gordon Brown call for an election? The mind ponders.

I am waiting for the day to vote him out for I did not vote him in.

I don't dispute the fact that he tries hard.... For the rest of the world bar Britain.

Why do we go running to the aid for the rest of the world, we are but a small country?

People, you voted New Labour into power. The over-taxation is to pay for illegal wars, immigrants, criminals and other degenerates, including junkies. Honest citizens are an easy target as, generally, they can afford to pay and will pay up without any hassle.
We must vote out New Labour at every opportunity - UK ok.
Regarding retirement age, people are living longer so it is unreasonable to expect to hold the retirement age at 65 and to be able to fund it.

Does anyone care about those of us who have inadequate pensions and have to continue working well beyond normal retirement age?
We are severely punished for earning too much, albeit to save enough for old age and avoid poverty and dependence on the state. I'm sure that I am not alone in my disgust at the treatment of people who have worked and paid tax and national insurance for 50 plus years only to be denied our right to the age related personal allowance.

We are taxed before any allowances at all at the rate of 50% in order to take back our age allowance. This tax begins at £ 20200 per annum. The richest people in the country only pay 40% after all their allowances have been taken into account, and taxation for them begins at £34000 or more.

Does anyone else feel as angry as I do?

in 1969 we had a product that went round the world faster than an thing else in 2008 we have kebabs and taxis let get back to what were good at world class products forget about banks/building society bailouts make somthing that the rest of the world wants rover cars im not joking they were great in 1969 far better than anything from the rest of the world 5000 ex rover worker cant make the mini and range rover in germany while were bailing out banks

This Aligator sums up politicians exactly, particularly this Grabbing, corrupt, lying, High taxation mob we have under New Labour

Two alligators were sitting in the swamp talking. The smaller one turned to the bigger one and said, "I can't understand how you kin be so much bigger'n me. We're the same age, we was the same size as kids. I just don't get it."
"Well," said the big 'gator, What you been eatin' boy?"
"Politicians, same as you," replied the small 'gator.
"Hmm. Well, where do y'all catch 'em?"
"Down 'tother side of the swamp near the parkin' lot by the capitol."
"Same here. Hmm. How do you catch 'em?"
"Well, I crawls up under one of them Lexus and wait fer one to unlock the car door. Then I jump out, grab 'em on the leg, shake the sh*t out of 'em, and eat 'em!"
"Ah!" says the big alligator, "I think I see your problem. You ain't getting any real nourishment. See, by the time you get done shakin' the sh*t out of a Politician, there ain't nothin' left but an a*shole and a briefcase.

The "New" Labour Government has eroded any freedoms or benefits we had left in the UK to the point where I think New Labour Under both BLiar and Gordon Brown have moved to the right of Atilla the Hun or Vlad the Impaler.
They have imposed severe restrictions on almost all services for the Old and Infirm, and those less able to object too much (except in the Ballot Box). They have imposed restrictions on the way we travel araound the country By increasing ALL Vehicle taxation (with even more taxes on the Horizon): Implemented Draconian parking and speeding penalties ( if you park your car you get a fine, and if you move it, there is a risk of a fine there too): Have caused "Post code" services and drugs nationwide due to bodies like (notso) NICE.
AND worst of all have split the United kingdom into four pieces with devolution ( How can we now be called UNITED Kingdom anymore ?) We lost the title Great Britain some time ago and now it looks like thew United Kingdom has gone too?
I almost forgot----- Hands up everyone with a worthwhile pension scheme??!!

Are New Labour extreme right wing?

World War 2 resulted in the extermination of many human beings whose credentials did not meet Nazi requirements. Hitler wanted a blue eyed blond super race, with specific physical appearance.

2007, New Labour attempt to withdraw NHS medical treatment from people who are overweight and/or smoke. Sorry folks, unless you are of slim build, 5ft 9in tall, non smoker and go to a gym twice a week, you will be denied treatment. Hey, why are we not up in arms over this when the government tell us we are all overweight?

Why are cancer sufferers denied treatment in England, when it is available in Scotland, yet drug abusers are handed treatment on a plate for self-inflicted
damage. The reason is the law abiding, wage earning taxpayer citizen is the easy target, least likely to cause any fallout.

Please everyone, get off your backsides and protest, NOW!
