Whos up for a kicking this time?
My money is on anyone who owns a car.
Millom

I think they may punish buy to let owners, just a feeling

smokers, drinkers, petrol guzzling cars. umm that's me then  :(

We are all shagged. Ash, i thought of you when i posted the thread.

and so they should.

Urban 4x4 drivers hopefully, the set of cunts.  Porshche Cayanne and X5 drivers should be especially targeted.

Expect the usual canning for drinkers and smokers as well as the usual new labour steath taxes so fucking complicated that no one actually knows if its good or bad without a world class taxation expert explainig it to them

Not at all, if it wasnt for buy to let investors buying houses and renting them then the council would have 700 real homeless people in this town alone.  The council cant afford to buy the homes so these people would have nowhere to go......

Agree Piemonte - expect the usual cries of how safe and practical the 4 x 4 is too! The same idiots who forget how massively safe they would be if another one hit one their children!

Would house prices fall if demand was out-stripped by supply? I.e if the rich folk didnt go around buying houses and renting them out i'd have a better chance of affording one?

:fishing:

come on mate, your problem is you spend too much going to gigs and drinking

**Jan sets up a punch line**

The only ones not to get fucked will be the single mothers.

This is true... :?

There is of course the argument that buy to let buyers force the low end of the market prices up making buying a grim prospect for young professionals who are earning decent a decent wage yet can ahrdly afford a flat or maisoneete in a none too decent part of town.  Perhaps my worst expereince of this was when one single perosn bought a whole block of 6 flats in old town just to let them out - when in relaity some young professionals would have been ideally suited.

practical - definatley

Safe - No way.

- Hit a pedestrian - chances of death greatly increased over a "normal" car
- Hit another car - chances of death for passengers of other car greatly increased over a "normal" car
- Have a high speed collision or have to try and avoid one, I hope they like being upside down.

The fact that many seem to be driven by housewifes totally oblivious to other road users, lane disipline, indicating and parking skills or businessmen who want to look important "LOOK HOW BIG MY CAR IS, I'M CLEARLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU. BUY BUY SELL SELL"

I seem to have gone off on one here and it makes me sound a bit like an environmentalist hippy. But I fucking hate urban 4x4 drivers more than Gareth Whalley.

Well said Piemonte :goodpost:  :clap:

tis true,

I've often thought I'd of been better off getting knocked up at 15, i'd have my own place and everything :D

According to the BBC's budget calculator I'm £89.15 a year worse off.  

I look forward to my £89.15 being given to a unemployed single mum.

Next year, the indications are that you will be £43.38 better off  :beers:

Think I fucked up somewhere... :oops:

Cheers Piemonte

£26.50 better off ... mainly due to the income tax sweetener I might add ... Gordon going for a June 2008 election methinks

Thats what you aspire to be :wink:

yes.  I'd be far better off.

You best get breeding before before the menopause starts in a year or 2 then
 :mrgreen:

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I'm going to be £118.29 better off. Yay.

£84 worse off you fuckers.

£138 up (and the missus is £116 up) - woohoo I'll vote for that!
Let's see what that bopard Cameron wants to offer me.

i noted that the petrol increases go up from midnight,but the cut in income tax starts in april 2008 :evil:

11p on fags, 1p on beer and 5p on wine. I think I heard.

Disaster

its a bit racialist against the beer drinker - I put mine in on 30 pints a week and ended up £9.92 better off.  Then thought I'd see how the missus comes out, exactly the same but 30 glasses of wine (for the ladies), £62.55 better off.

Therefore, if I switch to wine, I calculate the government will pay me 3.37pence for every glass of wine I drink.  genius.

If it is any consolation, fags, beer and wine in the supermarkets are ridiculously cheap compared to the UK. Oh and we have the cheapest petrol in Europe as well!!  :beers:

They should super tax petrol and take it off beer, fags and wine.

I'm going to run for election so I can suggest it in parliament

Just give up smoking and drink more, you'll have more money in the long run. The ban on smoking in pubs in England is in July so you'll be fucked then anyway.

I'll be fine until it gets cold around october. Just have to stick to pub with covered gardens. Sorted.

The Castle does, The  Steam does, err that's it isn't it?

You are the only man ho I know, so get cracking big guy  :mrgreen:

Im a WORKING single mum, apparently i will be £150 better off next year but i wont cos they will take it back with things like my rent etc
So i will be no better or worse off than i am now - unless i was to give up work where they would then throw money at me.


 :evil:

I'll be £51.51 better off. Ace. Although I'll have to start repaying my student loan, so I'll probably only be £48.78 better off.

Rise in beer and petrol will affect me, nowt else...

bastards didnt lower all the tax just the one that least affected them

Do you pay corp tax Bushey?

Just seen that, fucking bastards! literally just got an email from m accountants and from april it goes up by 1p in the pound and then in 2 years by another 2p in the pound.

Fucking joke! I was due to start paying it in next years accounts as going VAT registered however now might split some things up and play around.

Off to pub

Along with 2/3rds of the country birdy.....i got this song doing my head in at the moment.....one way...or another...im gonna get ya...im gonna get ya get ya get ya get ya...one way....or another.
Mr Brown is a smug cunt....and i dont care for him much.

Anyone see all of those passive smoking ads at the moment? What a complete waste of money. It will be banned in public places soon ffs  :-))(

But they abolished the 10% basic rate which completely negates the effect of the 1p reduction for low earners.

The poor are subsidising the rich, fucking 'new labour' indeed.

Just done the calculator thing, and basically I'm screwed. Although the fact I am going to uni will not help with that!!!

Fucking tax dodger.

It was a budget for brown to get power, vote blue its the only hope!

That's if you'd trade the proposed lower taxes for no national health service.

Vote Lib Dem all the way  8)

Lib Dem will never be strong, at least conservative look after people like me!!! oh thats cunts by the way :D

I will tell you what. The NHS does not deserve any more money, it's so badly run.

fuck off - I'll only vote blue if thet offer me more money. Labour's winning at the mo' and the fucking boparding Lib Dems want to tax me at 50 fucking % - tree hugging - olympic medal winning- committee forming - organic farming rabbit felchers
