Taxing Poo....you can't make this up

[cazzer]

Yes they're now taxing Horse Manure.
No really.
Bet that wasn't in the manifesto.


And speaking of slightly nasty things. Andrew Adonis....oh the irony.

Sounds like a load of tripe to me.

Nope..really...was on the news tonight.
£500 a year for the right to spread your own horses manure on your own land.

Isn't it dependant on how much manure your horse(s) produce?

As I understood it, if you just had one horse that's okay, but if, say, you were a riding stables and your horses were producing a fair old amount of the stuff then you'd be taxed accordingly.

Still utterly ridiculous

Eh?....... Well?....I'm a supporter of Gordon, sort of, but!

I can see the arguement if you're selling it,.......but........your own land? are you sure?

Don't laugh guys, such idiocy its pitifully real! Here in Germany I get "taxed" on the amount of rain that falls on my ground!
Waste water tax rated on excess water from "sealed" areas of ground for sealed read paved or roofed! So if it rains more this year I pay more tax.....who said the greens/socialists had any intelligence?? it's thanks to such eejits that we have to pay rain tax!!!!

Time to get these scum removed methinks...not a revolution, an elimination, is due!!!
