Title: Tory's on another planet

Is Osbourne for real, 'The chancellor has said he is "shocked" that some of the UK's richest people have organised their finances so that they pay virtually no income tax'.

He needs so speak to a few of his party members who have been avoiding tax since day one.

Is it just me, or is Osbourne taking the p**s.

. . . . it's a bit worrying to discover that almost the last person in the country to realise this is going on is the man in charge of the county's finances - but it isn't true, of course.

The overclass, of which George Osborne is part, have not only always known about this but are themselves the main perpetrators.

Whilst interesting, this topic is in the wrong section of the forum. Please refrain from posting about national politics in the local politics board.

Not only does it go against the forum rules it also shows that you are doing what you accuse others of doing and dragging national politics into local politics. Highly hypicritical.

What was it Mr Allison once said? "When they can't attack me for my policies they'll resort to personal attacks". Perhaps you might take his advice Steve and save face.

I have a cracking sense of humour and no doubt I'll laugh lots and lots when the results are announced. Which reminds me, I must remember to speak to someone for a ticket to the count. Wouldn't want to miss that.

Ohh and please do get the spell check fixed

I didn't. I just assumed I had made a spelling mistake like always.

I think Dumbo is dyslexic.
I once was on a trip to the Zoo with him. When he found out who I was he climbed  into a cage, picked up a small Gnu and  threatened to shoot me with it!

I don't think Mr Drummond is Dumbo at all, his kept the same job for ten years and rinsed us all.

Dumbo-presides over a Council full of  chancers and swindlers.
Dumbo  runs a Police Authority that has 80% of its members under investigation for corruption.
What do you expect when you put a  monkey in charge?

you hum it son and I'll play it

Hi Lord Elpus, what an exellent name wish i had thought of it. George Osbourne is indeed taking the p**s, re tax avoidance and closing the loopholes, he has had to mention it due to it in part, coming to the attention of the general public and therefore to be seen to do something about it. he is of course speaking in CODE. If you or anyone on this forum would like to know the code or see how far the rabbit hole goes all you have to do is ask. The Davinci code has nothing on this.
