Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[Supine]

99%, as during the war

Yeah, that really makes working worth it

 

[DotCommunist]

Get the top rate of income tax back into the 90s%.

Wilsons gov was in the mid 80% range imagine trying that one in todays climate of shifted centre or whatever you want to call it. They'd be screaming about bolshevism from the rooftops at guardian towers

 

[redsquirrel]

Yeah, that really makes working worth it

So during the 50s and 60s (tax rate 97.5%) nobody bothered to work did they?

Survival in post war Briton as the country recovers. I don't hark back to the old days with a golden glow of rose tinted glasses. Give me 2017 any day of the week.

 

[redsquirrel]

Yeah, LD fucks like you would. Never mind that inequality in 2017 is a great as that in Victoria times, that the poor are getting poorer while the rich are getting richer - assisted by pricks like you - that social mobility is statistically insignificant, that over the last 40 years most people, in real terms, have seen a decrease in their wages, that living standards are under attack. We can't possibly make the rich pay their way. Another great example why LDs are cunts.

 

[Supine]

Haha, all my fault innit. You obviously don't know anything about me. Typical trump supporter. Sad!

 

[binka]

Personally I'm a big believer in a flat tax, something in the region of 100% with a tax free allowance of about £45k

You a Lib Dem?

 

[Supine]

You a Lib Dem?

No

 

[stethoscope]

No

You were a fortnight ago!

 

[Supine]

If you read the thread rather than just look at the poll you'd see why. Local reason only. Bit of a derail, I was only reacting to the idea of a 99% tax rate.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Yeah, that really makes working worth it

It's not worth it at the moment tbh.

Fucking hell. Blair's director of political operations and Jim Murphy's chief of staff among other things. Blatant.

 

[mikey mikey]

He's still at it.


That is straight out of the CCHQ.

McTernan's always been a cunt.

I'm going by what you have often written here which is that you seem to generally fall into a centrist economically liberal, socially liberal position. That there's nothing inherently wrong with capitalism as long as there's a safety net for the poorest?

That's essentially a Lib Dem one too.

Yeh but a week's a long time in politics and a fortnight an eternity

I certainly didn't

 

[Who PhD]

Cunt

 

[chilango]

Yeah, that really makes working worth it

Anybody complaining about the % of their top rate income tax is more than welcome to swap salaries with me. I can guarantee them it's something they'll never have to worry about again.

Fair play, that somes me up rather well

Although until now I have always voted labour (apart from one green protest vote a couple of decades ago).

 

[Supine]

Btw Stethoscope, do you maintain a file on everyone?

Yes, stethoscope even has a file on herself. I've seen her updating it.

 

[mikey mikey]

I have always voted Labour until now but Corbyn has lost my vote with these extreme policies that in no way resemble Labour policies that I hhad previously voted for. I will now vote summat else. Honest. Always Labour. Definitely.

Never under estimate the importance of intelligence gathering for the revolution, comrade
