Similarly, the state keeps property rents artificially high by subsidising people who can't pay. Its all gone bonkers. People without jobs living in places which people with jobs cannot afford.
however if they didnl;t do that how would they be able to bribe the mondeo men who are now amateur property tycoons because they brought their B|TL before Brown abolished boom and bust ...KingNothing said:
Now that the Scottish Independance saga is drawing to a close, we're back onto the punitive envy taxes from Labour mouthbreathers, such as mansion tax and 50p rate, great 
What I find hilarious is that the mansion tax is supposed to benefit the NHS. It would swallow that amount of money without trace, if it even raised any extra money at all (a collapsing prime property market would cost significant amounts of stamp duty). JagLover said:

Classic labour...double spending the same small pot of money meaning lots more gets borrowed.
Meanwhile the Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Rachel Reeves does not even know the value of the basic state pension.

Balls, Reeves, Umunna - these are the people who could be in charge of the economy in a few months time!

What UKIP issue? You expect Cameron to announce he's pulling out of the EU?
How do you propose he does that? He'll need at least a Commons vote. He'd lose. Lib Dems + Labour + pro-EU Tories would win.
Or a referendum? But he's promised that already.
A referendum you won't get if people vote UKIP and let Labour in.
Here's a fact to prospective UKIP voters, if you want out of the EU then be prepared to wait. Because a Labour govt from 2015 will very very likely be re-elected in 2020 on the back of a good long period of economic growth. So you'll have to wait until 2025 or even later.
Vote Tory and you might get out by 2017.
Your call.

Just remember how many times they've already spent a bankers' bonus tax. gottans said:
Saying that he did look quite comfortable playing with the plasticine at the children's nursery photo op.
It was probably Play-Doh and he was sweating a bit not knowing if he could control his urge, in front of the cameras, to see if it was actually edible like it says on the box.Zod said:
