The bit where the Government overrides the NIMBY crowd to build the houses the National needs is going to interesting.

 

😂😂😂

 

This is the bit, where the current Government, finds out what it is like to be on the wrong side of Lawfare.

 

Karma, as they say, really will be a bitch.

Was Charlie Mullins a non-domiciled tax dodger ?
 

I think the above sentence would need clarification

 

 

When I were lad, London Property prices were out of kilter with the rest of the Country, Rich people, including non-doms, in the main, do not price normal people out of the housing market.

 

For normal people, the inflationary impact comes from too much immigration. Basic Supply and demand.

 

I thought they all lived in 5* hotels?

I think that is reserved for the illegal immigrants and they do not have much effect on house prices either.

 

This is what puts pressure on everything, and provides the supply and demand that drives up house prices.

OMG The Tories and their pet Brexit really did eff things up.

 

No wonder people voted Labour.

Unless you earn over £150K per year and have assets of over £2 million you have no need to be concerned about my definition of ‘rich’.

 

Which in any case plays no part in Government taxation plans.

Taxing the working people wasn't in their taxation plans either.

 

Unfortunately for the workers, Labour's definitions are as unclear as yours.

The Tories ?  I seem to recall Cameron / The Tories spending £9million of taxpayer money on a leaflet on why we should stay in the EU.

 

It wasn't a Tory issue, it was an EU issue, that the voters of the UK decided to change direction from EU Political and Monetary harmonisation.

 

If the Common Market ( A great concept ) had not morphed by stealth into the EU, Brexit would never had happened.

 

Single European Act of 1987 and the Maastricht Treaty of 1992 was the start point of EU overreach.

Brexit might have initially reduced immigration from the EU, but  it then facilitated a significant increase in immigration from non-EU countries due to policy changes by the Tory government........so bit of stretch to blame the EU.

Immigration ? Free movement of people is not immigration, and not what I blamed the EU for.

 

I blamed Brexit on the EU morphing by stealth from the Common Market to a Political and monetary Union.

 

Back to the actual topic. Reeves is off to Davos 😀😀 A place that I would suggest she steers well clear from.

I always had the impression it was all very la-de-da and rather well to do......what's wrong with it?

What increased taxes are you paying?

 

I pay tax in the UK, it hasn’t changed by a penny.
