    Cojones is a Spanish word, and a loan word in English, that can mean:

    Testicles
    Courage "tener cojones", equivalent to the English phrase "have the balls to"
    Cojones a Spanish profanity

    Anyway that's off the topic. Nice to see a former Tory donator giving £1 million to UKIP. What does that tell you? I can see the Tories coming third in the elections.

    Let's hope you're wrong Andy, as we will all be regretting that

    Was it not £100,000?

    He has changed his mind and given UKIP £1million. It was £100,000 initially. And I wont be wrong. Well done to Mr Banks. I thought I would mention it seeing as Dedworth didn't.

    He was giving £100,000, but when the Tories called him a nobody he increased it to a £Mill

    Our Tornados are travelling all the way to Iraq to bomb IS, which includes people from Birmingham. Why not save the fuel and just bomb Birmingham?

    This isn't doing the Tories any favours, is it? Watch the video.

    I doubt if I will get much sympathy here with this one

    The 40% tax rate kicks in well too low at £42k so any movement on that is a welcome change

    ... highest figure I ever earned was £10,386 per annum, 21 years' ago. Mind you ... ... that was considered "not too bad" a salary for a Senior Clerical Assistant in 1993!

    Well quit your job, and apply for one that pays minimum wage and you'll pay hardly any tax

    There's much easier ways of reducing your tax bill Joe, that's why I pay an accountant £150/hr
