In QT last night it was suggested that the cost of implementing this tax would cost more than it brought in.
So I wonder whose daft idea that was. The majority of the large families that want to take over an old widows house are Migrants.
Get rid of the migrants, Stop more migrants coming in, No Migrant can have a house until they have worked and paid taxes for five years.
Problem solved.
Houses are cheaper to buy now than they have been for near 20 years around here, so it can be cheaper to buy than to rent.

Who is going to move these people when they dowsize ?, give them a handcart??. Or the removals are paid by the council, some strange way to save money!!, but of course they can easily obtain more money, put the council tax for the rest of us up. They could save more money in one hit by chucking that ****** cleric and his family out, and two fingers to the European court of human rights. KT

That ****** Cleric, Abu Qatada, when he came out of Gaol last time demanded a bigger house,
He got one.
What was all that about.? Wonder where they found one, did they evict a little old lady?
Also whose sanctioned that? Has he got ****** friends on the Council?? If so they should be exposed.
Also what kind of Government do we have that is scared of what Brussels says if we just sent him back to his homeland of Jordan. What is Brussels going to do about it? Bomb us? They have forgotten who liberated them in WW2 from a Dictatorship, now who is the Dictators now.?
Maybe the SAS could disapear him. No Trace. vanished. gone.#

potholes,bedroom tax,food banks.
I can see the number of Legal Separations increasing when this comes into force.People on benefits know the system they will declare themselves separated therefore not sleeping in the same bedroom so two bedrooms are required.Watch this space!!

Incidently I know people who did this many years ago,when they were visited by the DHSS they had separate cupboards with food in and he used the top part of the fridge and her the bottom.

Easy soft touch
Hi shipmates Hi Captain Kong, Abu Qutada is illegal and non british asylum seeker so the government cant do anything about that scumbag, he has the best human right law team on his side {free} his family are treated like the royals they want for nothing at the cost of the home office The cost to deport one illegal is £25,000 How much has this non british terrorist scumbag cost us so far? a few million+ We need some fast track way to remove all illegals, and failed Asylum seekers from the U.K.in double quick time what will Theresa May of the home office do about this? we cant afford to be a joke anymore.

If Teresa May had balls she would get rid of this scum.
Personally I would lock him in a Pig Pen with ten starving Pigs. Problem solved. just an accident on the prison farm. end of.

Terrorist Tax
The French when faced with a Abu Qatada situation were told not to deport the man otherwise they would be fined by Brussels, they deported the man and his family and paid the fine, why the hell haven't our politicians got the same balls, no matter how hefty the fine it's got to be cheaper in the long run

i think its time we invaded some of these political meetings and put the peoples veiw and ask cameron and cronies why are they giving our money to other countries.
we could also ask where are all the people going when they are evicted from 3 bedroom houses. there are no one or two bed houses available..down here all the students and illegals have got them. there are no jobs but the government is still persecuting people with medical problems to get them back to work. the queues outside the job centres stretch way down the road and start about six in the morning.
all the supermarkets have large containers for people to put food into for poor unfortunates. you can bet the immigrants are getting a good share of that. plymouth has more food banks every day.

Jim if I misread you then I apologise, you are correct in your assumptions as to our own beliefs. I for one would never attempt to press my views on any one, some sre too far radical for that, but my point is that democracy will continue as long as we respect other views whilst having the right to appoint our own.


Happy daze John in Oz.
