The nameless one would say we have sorted the problem out.

I have this standpoint not to take part in an another countries politics only ask question about their system, politicians a.s.o.

And not to forget thoughts

I need to break my standpoint

For this simple thing, ´cause your politicians are like ours

I say go and vote-
It's not every day you get the chance to pick who's going to be your Father Christmas and who shall be his elves.

Labour is launching its general election manifesto, which includes plans for a windfall tax on oil firms.

Leader Jeremy Corbyn said it was "a manifesto of hope" and promised "a green transformation" of the economy.

Should make an interesting read for all the wrong reasons

Labour didn't honour their pledge in the previous manifesto about honouring the referendum vote so why should anyone believe whatever they will be announcing today?

Before the elections could bring another government to power, Great Britain orders 500 Boxer wheeled transport tanks for rapid troop transport to the front in Germany.

Not a bad choice. The Boxer seems to be kind of the refernce in its category, by all what I have read about it. And not the many of problems that for example the Puma IFV is plagued with.

Due in 2023, plenty of scope for Steptoe to cancel the order if he gets into office and blame the Tories for any cancellation fees.

RE: The proposed threshold increase for National Insurance.

Conservative Home's article on the policy: LINK.

How's that going to affect state pension eligibility if it goes through? It may be a short term gain for lower earners, but will it bite them in the posterior when it comes to their retirement age and they discover that their state pension is tiny?

I do hope that people will be given the option to continue to pay full contributions if they so choose.

Unless Cumming's end game is the abolition of the state pension entirely and all pension liabilities are then born by employers, similar to the situation in the US?

Mike.

^ One of my worst fears being the end of the state pension for those already in receipt of one already paying more than the state pension does.

I was thinking on your signatures and it's almost Christmas.

Father Christmas, Santa Claus is a fairy tale and thinking on how our politicians keep on lying or step aside from the truth, you could say they are living in a fairy tale imagine.
