c) It's all they've managed to do so far!

All announced yesterday:

* The Treasury said it was forced to borrow £4.3billion in January - normally a month when it reports bumper surpluses (first time since records began in '93 that a government has borrowed in January)
* The housing market took a new dive as mortgage lending tumbled to a ten-year low.
* A Bank of England survey showed lending to cash-starved businesses fell by the most on record in December.
* Britain tumbled in a league table of economies, recording the second-lowest productivity among G7 countries after Japan.
* A report revealed the number of new homes built last year fell to its lowest level since the 1940s.

13 years of NuLab + Brown + recession + overspending + buying votes + all their other criminal neglect of Britain = GB, a third world nation!!!

Brown will do anything to damage any other party's chances of completing a 4-year term, scorched earth policies etc, so these screwed up wasters called NuLab could well call an "early" election, so that they can get back in in 2014/15

Time for a revolution methinks, not just an election to put the next bunch of thieving wasters in......

I get slagged off for constantly saying that the country is fked, so I shan't comment any further

(And no you aren't wrong, I'm trying to sell up and head abroad whilst my property still holds some value, the next 10 years are going to be far more miserable than anyone can imagine, I fear)

Tax receipts being down are proabably a big reason why they are going after Tax exiles money.

Strangest thing...they are requesting payments for retrospective years (uo to 6 years in the past).

This just doesn't seem right to me.

And the best part is that after all of this, Brown et al will just slink off into semi-obscurity/background and that will be it. No consequences.

Murder X years, burglary, up to Y years, screwing a country up, walk free.

I want to see Blair, Brown, Prescott, Slugbrows, the Millipedes, Commie Postman bloke, etc, etc all shot. No fking around, just shot.

Edit:- I also want to see blair shot until there is more lead in him than meat.

Out of interest, what would you classify as fiddling?

From what I've observed inflation would need fiddling with so that QE can be resumed as otherwise the country could collapse under the burden of debt with interest at proper market rates!

Tom Logan, the prime minister's biographer, said: "This is all part of an ongoing feud between Mr Brown and the ONS. Every time he thinks he has a chance of recovery, they produce some figures that show the full extent to which he has fd everything into a cocked hat."

So true...

"Gordon Brown also hopes to base Labour’s general election campaign on the party’s economic record and policies.

Tomorrow, he will unveil Labour’s election slogan of “Ensuring the recovery”, “Protecting front-line services”, “Standing up for the many” and “Protecting future jobs and new industries”"

That's a joke, right?

Totally unenforceable, no way these tax exiles living overseas are ever going to pay.

Octav Botnar: He fled Communist Eastern Europe, in 1966 by way of Germany to Worthing in England, where he founded Datsun UK (now Nissan UK) in 1970, although he reputedly lived in Switzerland, France and Monaco. He fled to Switzerland in 1991 to avoid trouble with the police (according to the British authorities, he evaded more than £200 million in taxes) and died in Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland.

Mining. Namely Tin and Tungsten. If they can mill it, they'll flog it.

They can go and fk right off. I moved to France 4 years ago and took every penny I had out of the UK. I visit my family 3 times a year max, total of 6 weeks in any calendar or fiscal year. If they come after my money they'll need some kind of suicidal HMRC wker armed with a bit more than a briefcase and a condescending smirk.
