Taxes ?

Thats even bloody worse then

Our Nuclear Deterrent is probably our most valuable asset in Military terms. Pretty much go anywhere in the world, undetected and shove a Tomahawk up the most remote japseye anywhere! This is our only saving grace, and in addition to my last post, they could sit off the coast of Argentina and fire Missiles from underwater at strategic air bases all over. Stick that up your Malvinas!

let not all go to war....

I hate being the spelling Police but wasted & waste 

Sorry, just that my waist has been on my mind recently  

As for DH, your a bit of a legend at times, but...

But it's not OK for those who genuinely can't find a job to have support, although it was OK for UK plc to pay to bring you up?

I'm sure I didn't say that, people who 'need' it should get it but I'm afraid to say on a daily basis I have customers that have no intentions of going to work, they just sit there watching Jeremy Kyle smoking...

it's important there is a safety net for those who are less fortunate, because one person's deserving is another's waster - support for low paid/no jobs has to be available in some way and not cost a fortune to administrate.

Who deserves to be homeless?

I totally agree with this point...

it's the bit that gets all the tabloid coverage.  This is why Steve30 has responded well to your point, because it's sensationalist boll0cks and he responds well to that.

Its not boll*cks its true, I didn't say it was the biggest waste, I just said its one off the top of my head that I don't like, as for tabloid coverage, I don't read papers or watch the news because that is sensational boll*cks...do you really think what goes on in the papers and on the TV is really true F*ck off, they tell us what they want us to know, they want us to rely on their bullsh*t so we don't think for ourselves or question what is really happening...

as for PM's, war and recession etc, does no one else feel like we are tiny little pieces on a big chess board?

Regarding the war, we have more mk3's than the argie's and as we know the mk3 was initially designed to replace to russian victor class subs, so there is still hope

The amount of money spent on making a skip water tight would out weigh the cost of making 12 brand new astute subs

So just to be clear you don't read the papers, or the TV?

So your opinions and nolidge on this whole 'current affairs and tax' thing comes from?

Way to go to invalidate your own opinions. 

council tax pisses me off... apperently most of ours goes to some comitee who spend it.on flowers and sh!t?!?!?
i domt give a flying f**k about flowers and xmas decs!

You genuinely have no idea, do you?

You have some spare time at the moment, I recall.  Look up which local authority you live under and go to their website.  There you can probably access all of their accounts and a huge quantity of data about what your local authority does for you.  It ain't flowers and Christmas decorations, it's stuff like schools, road repairs and all the fabric of society around you.

Then find out who's your town/parish council and go to their website.  There you will be able to find out what they do for you and details of the cost.  Their precept as part of your council tax is probably a tiny element of the cost of your council tax.  They may do stuff with Christmas decorations and flowers.

Totally agree with DH.

Lots of good done councils et al, is undone by lots of waste.

An example.

My general 'knowledge' is exactly that, I talk to many people every day from different walks of life, I take in what goes on around me and there's a little known secret that is called intuition,

but all said in done I don't think there is a wrong or a right, there is just different peoples opinions...just because someone reads the Mirror doesn't make them right.
