This is bang out of order

STEED · 10-25-06, 04:18 AM

The last time I checked we were living in a democracy.

£1,000 fine for householders who refuse council tax 'snoopers'

This is wrong and is taking us away from democrasy, I am going to write to my Member of Parliment.

Whats next ? Tax the amount of air we breath.

Really scary/****ty stuff happening in the UK.
Uk = Total Control over your citiziens.

Edit : interesting thing this politically correct automatic censor program.
I'm glad we don't use these on italian forums.

Bleh. How exactly are Brits ever going to get rid of this bureaucracy. Inflate, inflate, inflate, inflate, *POP*! The balloon can't expand forever, there's only so much money to be taxed.

By the way, Mr. goldorak, I see that you have posted 264 characters. That will cost you 208.5€ (0.75 per character plus 0.25 per word), plus two smilies, my-my what do you need two smileys for?! That will be 50€ each, so 100€ for the smileys. Also, it seems that you have wasted an empty paragraph. Bad idea, you'll have to pay a 150€ fine for wasting a paragraph. Finally there's an extra .50€ fee for using the edit feature.

In total: 459€. Cash please, thank you very much.

Maybe Thatcher should come out of retirement.

I can see it now. Tom and Barbra Good hugging on the sofa in the front room when all of a sudden armed police smash down the door and push both of them to the floor while 10 yards down the street a gang of drunken youths brake in to a car while two police guard the door looking on…

“Erm, you think we should do something Bill?”
“We are doing something Jim, we’re coming down hard on society’s most reviled criminal group, tax dodgers. God I feel powerful”
“Yeah, take that criminal underworld…Doughnuts?”

I remember when good old Maggie was elected in 1979, one of the first things her government did was to lower the basic rate of income tax from 33% to 30%. Great I thought until I read on that they had increased value added tax from 7.5% to 15%. With any government in the UK what you get in one hand is taken back with the other.

Time to play the Beatle's "Taxman"!

Maybe they can tax the pants off of Kylie Minogue.

Maybe I ought to order that crossbow I was looking at the other day, before the law changes so that the only sharp thing I can own is a plastic spoon :hmm:
Failing that any of these filth inspectors comes round to my place and the're gonna have to bring a tent because they'll be waiting for a goodly long time before I let these theives through the door.
I recon this governement will soon be running out of fingers to stick into pies. Only question is, what will they be 'dipping' with instead

Ouch! I saw kitchen knifes on the chopping block over there a little while back. THey allow you to even have a crossbow when they are complaining about that? I would never have guessed! No wonder the terrorists are after you over the US. Taking away your self protection will eventually make you the weakest and easiest to exploit target on the planet!
