You should not believe everything Chissitt posts because some of his information comes from questionable sources. I do not moan or whinge on the terraces and you consider living on a council estate to be a sign of questionable life style. I may live on one but like you I own my house and I am quite happy to continue living there because living on a private estate does not make you or anyone better than anyone else. It is clear why you support the Conservatives because you are well suited and if I was you I would worry about your own teams performances.
With regards ambition I worked in an office quite successfully thank you which allowed me to retire at 55 after nearly 40 years of work. I survived the Thatcher cull of the eighties and many more since so obviously I was considered sufficiently successful to remain employed.
How did you get on in whatever job or jobs you pursued, living on your private estate passing judgement on others.

I would prefer taxes on inheritance and higher rate income tax . Not something that disproportionately hits the least well.off


Even vat increases on luxury items. Say 25% on cars over £33 k ?


Paying £1 k extra a year is not half as painful as an extra £130 when you are on £10 k.

My understanding is everything below £12,500 is tax free?

It is for income tax but not for National insurance .

The threshold at which you pay NI is
£ 11604

The point still stands though. It is still poorer people carrying a higher burden.

I would much rather see more emphasis on tax fraud and avoidance to collect additional monies to pay for welfare

I had worked out along time ago the person you were, a man who would disagree with everything because you like to generate discord. That was obvious if you read any of your posts. It must be such a lonely life if what you call fun is trying to be annoying just to generate a response. I at least back up what I believe by going out and voting unlike you who probably just sits at home shouting at the tv.
I now understand why you considered the isolation of being a lorry driver your dream job.

It's funny that disagreeing with everything you say is causing discord on here because I don't remember falling out with anyone, I respect the opinions of everyone on here including yourself, the difference being is that the rest post their opinions and leave it for posters to agree/disagree and don't get personal like yourself, one can only assume that you were bullied at school in those train carriages, did you attend Thomas A Beckitts by any chance, sorry St Austins? the only person I manage to do that with is your good self on account of the constant criticism metered out by you which leads me to your next bit of speculation by saying I must lead a lonely life and shout at the television, where on the other hand you spend most of your life on here bemoaning the fact that good old Boris defeated your heroes in the last election, you couldn't make it up could you oh wait a minute you already are, and just for the record having worked down the pit any job outside of the mining industry back in the day when conditions weren't as ideal, any job would be a dream job, trying to describe to Stevie Wonder about how green the grass is is tantamount to describing what an honest days work is to a pen pusher like yourself.

They might be regretting their decision when they see how much their darling Boris has lifted out of their wage packets.
Still, sod them. It's what they voted for - lies and deception. Surely they didn't think BJ was going to do something like, I don't know, up capital gains tax?

The problem is they literally don't care. It's all about the culture wars now, accelerated by Brexit. The Tories could close down every GP surgery, halve the police force and stick 5% on NI and all you'll get back is some furious stuff about snowflakes, Greta Thundburg and how much worse Jeremy Corbyn would be doing.

My father and brother were both coal miners in their time and my mother in a mill until she was 60,so I don’t need an education about that but like you they both got out and I was sufficiently educated not to have to follow them. I don’t consider working in an office any less than those who work manually other than the different parts of the body you use.
I was definitely never bullied, I did hear that you were responsible for a famous film part when one of the directors saw you arguing with yourself in the rear view mirror.
