So that's why my baby brother is such a worthless gimp!




(Actually I should note that he's 6' 4" and built like the proverbial shithouse, and a thoroughly sound bloke, just in case he happens to read this... so much for genetics!)

Actually I made her get an abortion.

Smeaky Boochies will tea-bag you for that.

Only if he coats them in honey and fluoxetine.

After ingesting that concoction you'll end up with skid marks.

George Osborne is poised to slash the top rate of income tax from 50p to 40p in next week's budget in a dramatic move that will delight business and the Tory right, but risks reinforcing the Conservatives' reputation as protectors of the super-rich.

I'm starting work on a couple of placards:

"In this together, my arse" (possibly with a picture of Jim Royle)

"Eat the rich"

What a bunch of cunts.

What a bunch of cunts.

LOL. I was just debating whether to put the Tory's "stop and talk to me" notice in the window to lure a Conservative to the door so I could call them "a shower of cunts" and slam the door in their face (they need luring in as it is my understanding that the door-to-door canvassers skip my house and the ones on either side because of the hostile reception, however, I'm thinking a hostile reception is just what they deserve.

Baloney, they should be dropping it to 20% at most!  You should have a flat tax code in the U.K. (just like in the Irish Republic), with everyone - and I mean EVERYONE - who receives earned income having to pay tax on it; no exceptions, no excuses, no exemptions, period!  The lowest earners would pay a flat rate of 5%, the middle income earners would pay 10%, and the highest earners would pay the aforementioned 20% flat rate, with the corporation tax dropped to 10%, and the elimination of the capital gains/dividends tax and the horrendously socialistic inheritance tax, plus ALL benefits means-tested, those who wish to opt out of paying national insurance contributions and purchase their own private healthcare premiums can do so, drop VAT to 5% across the board, and on top of all that, you drastically reduce overall government spending to pre-1997 levels... you do all that, the U.K. economy would take off like a rocket and the deficit would be paid off within a decade!!!

a dramatic move that will delight business and the Tory right, but risks reinforcing the Conservatives' reputation as protectors of the super-rich.

You mean the people who actually open and expand businesses, create thousands of jobs, sign the paycheques, and generally keep the entire economy afloat, you mean those people...?

...just like in the Irish Republic...

Ah the Irish Republic...  What ever happened to those guys?
