On our local ITV news tonight...
Good news for the downtrodden in Goldthorpe...but now I also know where my Tesco 'reduced' shelf has gone.
Listen to the 'compassionate' comments by the former 'Apprentice' contestant.

Not going to bother reading that story, because as soon as I saw "Mirror" I knew it would be anything but subjective, and about as biased as a story in the Mail about asylum seekers.
IF however Thatcher registered property in a tax haven to fiddle the system, then frankly why not?
I was not a fan of her for many reasons, however she couldn't be accused of being hypocritical.
She made it clear she was prepared to use such as private medicine for example, wouldn't apologise for it.......and anyone didn't like it, they could go hang.
It's in character that she'd make sure her very hard earned didn't go to subsidise feckless to buy their Special Brew, cigs and Sky tv to watch all day.
For all the politicians liking to say our taxes go on "health and education (Surely the biggest modern cliche for politicians), they also go on weapons to use in countries which hate us, aid to countries which hate us and send up rockets, and to pay for the lifestyles of generations of scratters whose only contribution to society is the birth rate, crime rate and benefits bill.
Occasionally they might cross our lives by robbing decent people, or twice in the last few months I've been physically attacked when going about my job in theareas of town. Same pieces of debris who it could be said I pay for by working my .... off.
No, SHE wouldn't want her earned to go to them, and anyone criticising this, only do so if you are happy for your money to also go this way.
Thatch can be attacked for many reasons, but not this one. Sorry but I bet many Labour politicians also play the field, and can't blame them either (Except that in their case it is definitely a case of hypocrisy as they're supposed to be for the people)
... love her or hate her ...
... there's a lot of truth in what you've said, Ian!
the poor fiddle benefits face 10yrs in prison the rich fiddle taxes and walk away free
10 years for benefit fraud is absurd when 99% of tax fraudsters walk away with their anonymity intact

I'd love to see a benefit fraudster get 10 years - can you point us towards the examples Joe. Most I read about or see on TV (Saints & Scroungers etc which seems to specialise in featuring Nigerians resident in Croydon) seem to get off with a suspended sentence at the most.the poor fiddle benefits face 10yrs in prison the rich fiddle taxes and walk away free

if his figures are right, that tax fraud is 50 times bigger than benefit fraud, then why only chase after the benefit fraudsters
But let’s also get some facts straight. Tax evasion amounts to £70 billion and year and tax avoidance to £25 billion a year. Yes, I know they’re my estimates, but the European Union uses them even if HM Revenue & Customs insists the combined number is a ludicrously low £32 billion a year. In my opinion tax fraud is at least 50 times bigger than benefit fraud.
Thanks...said it for me .
...and not forgetting the millions who don't get found out.
And dont forget the riots Joe.les, thatcher played her part in creating the kyle culture with record levels of unemployment, no hope for most school leavers, your old enough to remember the early 80's with 10,000s of people a week losing their jobs, remember Trev McDonald closing the news with the daily and weekly job losses
yes the good old days of thatcher
well if tax fraud is * 50 the size of benefit fraud, wouldn't you be putting most of your resources there, i wonder why they Tories don'tThanks...said it for me .

Who owns MG now graham?. The very country that Cameron has gone begging to cap in hand.They went bust because the British public (and govt depts) bought foreign cars.
I bought one of the last MGs made... plus my British-made TVRs for the weekend.
i wonder how many major German companies are owned by the ChineseWho owns MG now graham?. The very country that Cameron has gone begging to cap in hand.
Zero and I cant see Merkle going over there to kiss their asses.
I'm not going to defend Cameron.
UKIP for me.
Cameron just cant get enough of the Chinese

Good question but I think the chinese have the edge.
I think you're right Andy.

I'm still waiting to see the reports of 10 year sentences for benefit cheats Joe - made it up did you?
When it comes to reckless money creation, it turns out that China is the king. Over the past five years, Chinese bank assets have grown from about 9 trillion dollars to more than 24 trillion dollars. This has been fueled by the greatest private debt binge that the world has ever seen.Good question but I think the chinese have the edge.
Looks like they've taken a leaf out of Labour's book..........Go ahead..get yourself over there. Go fill your boots

As a mod Joe you know full well you should of posted a linkI'm still waiting to see the reports of 10 year sentences for benefit cheats Joe - made it up did you?

, its probably been U turned
Joe it actually says that from Sept these leeches can be charged under the Fraud Act which carries a max of 10 years but up till then have been pursued under social security legislation which carries a max of seven years.
If you've got time over the next few weeks see if you can dig out any reports of any parasites getting 7 years
The 'maximum' sentence for virtually all crimes is almost never handed down. We all know that. Usually a mere fraction of it.
This slug defrauded £94k got 22 weeks in jail

"poor" fiddlers Joe ???
Tax fraud is now subject to maybe 400 prosecutions a year. The penalties are small. But ten years is being threatened for benefit fraud. The publicity, the sentences and the messaging is all disproportionate and the allocation of resources is all wrong. - See more at: http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2....zepH3Dmt.dpuf
the bigger the crime the bigger the prison time
The utilities should have never been sold off to private companiesOf course we had people on benefits under the Tories, but it was labour who made it so much easier for the non-deserving Jeremy kyle culture they helped to create, they created a record number of allowances that totally bamboozled the system, but the shirkers of this world had plenty of time to work out and abuse.
So do you think gas and electric prices would have remained the same after all these years? We are an island and will always find things more expensive as we don't have enough natural resources.
Think you will find that many, many people who are 'struggling' still manage to power up their 40 plasma to watch x-factor
As the decades go by Fuel will be a luxury item as it is running out, one day it will outstrip Gold in terms of value.
They were national assets and now they are in private companies hands we are all paying extortionate prices just to keep our homes warm
Profits in these companies have gone thru the roof
