Makes me laugh some folk on here talking about hardships. Those folk need to get a life, maybe think about moving to India or Africa and find out about real hardships, not self inflicted ones.
The finest thing iāve ever seen you write.
Communism does not work as has been proven many times over.
Britain is one of the best places to live in the world in my opinion.
Labour did not take us in to this recession, the banks of the world did with irresponsible lending along with the dumb ā ā ā working class with their irresponsible borrowingā¦.
All this āthem & usā business is a bit cringe worthy. Tax the rich and give it to the poor, we already have a 50% tax rate for high earners what do you want to do, tax them 80%? The entrepenuers wouldnāt get out of bed for that.
Last one explains what most people will do, Stand up for yourself and your fellow workers, stop being a statistic and stand up for what is right, But I know MOST of you here wont stand up for what is right so deserve this economic situation and deserve to be trodden on by big companies and government.
What you waiting for? The day you cannot feed yourself before you realise that change has to happen NOW
im getting close to the situation where it would be unviable to go to work.8 hours at day rate minus stoppages and the cost of transport.....throw in 6 or 7 quid for food and drink and it doesnt leave much in the wage packet.

We already did that went there and got the T Shirt during the 1970ās.Then Callaghan and Thatcher got in and the rest is history.Which part of too late to do anything about it all now because the country has already been sold out to the Russians and the Chinese by those commie zbās,donāt you understand.

The surprising thing is that his mates in the army donāt seem to have a clue what the zb is going on and continue to fight and die for the zb place,while itās being given away to the commie zbās and effectively run for their interests not Americans,instead of turning their guns on the zb zbās who shot their mate.
The face of the forces representative in the pic says it all.

Just saw something on another forum I use that Iran have turned the oil tap off, no more sales of oil to Britain in response to sanctions imposed.

The EU are were going to stop buying from them anyway, plenty of oil in the Flaklands to keep us going
Can anyone explain to me the logic of taxing the people who can afford to, so much that they will either move out, or find some way of avoiding it. And surely the idea of taxing the wealthy to subsidise the poor, is basically Communism.
In spite of what you might think from reading the Daily Worker, the vast majority of employees in this country earn less than Ā£40,000. If you doubled the tax rates for people earning over Ā£100,000 the revenue raised would be insignificant compared to the damage it would do to the main source of income - The City.

There would have been plenty in the North Sea too if we hadnāt have let the government flog it off to everyone in Europe etc etc else so they could use it at a cheaper price at their pumps than we were paying for our own oil here.

Can you explain the logic of using indirect taxation to allow those who earn more to keep more while those who earn less canāt afford to buy enough to keep the economy afloat which therefore means more unemployment and less tax revenues coming in.
So the rich donāt want to pay tax and either avoid it and move out (effectively withdrawing their services) while those earning less canāt afford to pay it anyway so withdraw their services by going on strike to get more wages to afford it.So whatās the difference and why the double standards in branding only one lot communists not the other .
However I think that China still has a communist government and the idea of some being more equal than others is more of a communist idea than a capitalist one and itās China thatās benefitting most from the present form of so called ācapitalismā.Which isnāt exactly what industrialists like Henry Ford had in mind.

Flaklands? plenty of oil in the Falklands, when it eventually gets found, tapped, starts to flow, terminal built, infrastructure set up, etc etc. Will probably find that we will then sell it to Argentina!

BP earned $3 million every hour in 2011. Its fourth-quarter profits reached $7.69 billion, which is up 38 percent from 2010.
The company is sitting on another $14 billion in cash.
The company continues to scale back its production in the wake of the spill, producing 10 percent less than 2010 levels.
BP contributions to federal candidates totaled more than $98,000 in 2011, with more than half (65 percent) to Republican candidates.
BP spent $8 million lobbying Congress in 2011, down from the record $15 million the company lobbied in 2009 ā one year before the oil disaster.
For every dollar the big five oil companies use in lobbying, they effectively receive $30 in subsidies. This could mean BP potentially gained up to $243 million in subsidies, although the exact amount for an individual company is undisclosed.
In the third quarter, BPās Bob Dudley announced the company had reached a ādefinite turning pointā of boosted profits. However, nearly two years following the Deepwater Horizon disaster, BP has still only paid $7.8 billion of the $20 billion fund they created to compensate individuals and businesses for losses incurred by the spill.
In order to pay the $40 billion cleanup costs and additional penalties, the company has committed to selling $38 billion worth of assets before 2014.
Those folk need to get a life, maybe think about moving to India or Africa and find out about real hardships, not self inflicted ones.
