    I'm hoping for a tax on gambling winnings at the punter's marginal rate - this to include the lotteries.
    After all tax is used as a weapon to fight cigarette addiction, right? So why not gambling? It's unearned income isn't it.


    The national lottery is already a tax on the poor, you can't tax the winnings too

    £9 ph living wage by 2020, what world are they in ? £9 ph isn't enough now

    So put it up to 12 ph and the businesses who employ them go tits up then those people enjoying the 12 an hour will be down the big house looking for 150 a fortnight.

    Common sence, simple common sense

    How does Australia survive then ?

    With inflation, the minimum wage would need to be £9 in 2020 anyway.

    What is it they say ?

    Common sense.... Simple common sense

    To be fair the measuring of inflation has been contrived so much that it's virtually meaningless.

    So the cost of living will only be 0.01% more expensive in 2020 compared to now ?

    Fuck that's where I've been going wrong, been asking for directions to the Sydney opera house for years and getting nothing but weird looks.

    Would it be wrong to atleast want the same 11% pay rise that the politicians got though ?



  • Personal allowance and the higher tax bracket have both gone up.

    I'm happy. Nice one Tories.

    One of those affects Tory voters, the other doesn't.

  • Talk about a slanted view.

    1% reduction in rent will be balanced out by the 20% plus increase in rents for those earning £30/£40k pa.

    I have no idea where the loss of 4k units comes from, as rental income is only part of the financing of new homes. Funding is all about surplus and how large that is.

  • Your Chacellor has just announced a living wage, in 5 years time, which is below that currently available in Scotland and below that agreed by Boris to be needed in London to live now.

    You acknowledge it in a professional manner...



    Or...you act like IDS!

    Hasn't it already been said that the increased rental income will go straight to the exchequer in order to assist with reduction of the deficit?

    There is no statutory living wage in Scotland, or at least one that will differ from the national living wage when this one is introduced, it is not a devolved matter.
