Demo violence in London today

[andyofborg 11]

it doesnt make it morally right tho, just because somethings legal or illegal doesnt change it from being right or wrong

 

what does tax avoidance have to do with morality?

 

would you pay more tax than you need too?

 

all tax legislation offers opportunities for anyone (individuals and companies) to quite legitimately reduce the amount of tax they pay.

 

the ease and amount that can be saved depends on the nature of the business and the quality of the legislation.

 

i would imagine that most of the avoidance schemes could be closed down overnight should the government have a mind to do it but no matter how tightly the legislation was crafted other opportunities would be opened up. further opportunities would arise as new legislation was created and existing legislation amended or repealed.

 

most, if not all, of the current avoidance methods were created by the previous government and its predecessors and none of them showed much enthusiasm for dealing with them.

bet your wearing some of those knickers arent you?

 

errrrrrm i mean

*gets coat*

 

Don’t worry about substantiating the footage. Whatever you show them they will find a way of accusing you of being crazy. It's the party line. Much like the Stalinists who put dissidents in gulags and sanitarians for not believing in Socialism. I’m sure the irony will be lost on them however.

 

Lol! I'll bear these comments in mind thanks

think about the morality, the violence in london yesterday WASNT just about cuts, its about a deap seated anger slowly building.

an anger due to the fact that the vast majority of us are getting screwed and pushed closer to debt yet the rich are STILL lining their pockets and making more from peoples misery

but then we are ALL in this together

And when you finish smashing windows and throwing paint and stuff at coppers, the rich will still be lining their pockets

oh its been turned around to me again has it?

sorry to dissapoint you i wasnt there so...........

[andyofborg 11]

So no one is losing their job then hurray! And the seventeen year high in unemployment is just a "seasonal anomaly" pfffft.

 

sadly, you are mistaken

 

unfortunately plenty of people are losing their jobs and while there is always a seasonal component to rises and falls in unemployment numbers the current increases are not an anomaly

That's true. It's a return to the "good old days". I am practising touching my forelock and saying” yes me lord” as we speak.

Sadly this is an epic fail.

[andyofborg 11]

think about the morality,

 

i do, frequently,

 

but tax avoidance just isn't a moral issue

 

the violence in london yesterday WASNT just about cuts,

it wasn't about the cuts at all.

 

...... the vast majority of us are getting screwed and pushed closer to debt yet the rich are STILL lining their pockets and making more from peoples misery

 

the rich have always done that and always will, that is simply a fact of life.

[andyofborg 11]

why?

 

if you think its bad now, then it would have been far worse had the banks not been rescued.

again, just because it happens doesnt make it right........nor should it continue.

i think theres a real shift in people, in the late 70s and early to mid 80s.....then obviously with the poll tax late 80s / early 90s people were politisized, during the 90s and through the first 10 years of the 00s there was an apathy, i think the time has come where people are fed up of being screwed while they see the rich get richer and people are turning to more direct action
