That's what's know as "special pleading". From someone else who talks
like a tabloid editorial.


Wouldn't know, I've never read a 'tabloid editorial' - but it seems you
have..??

I've seen the odd few.

So the end result will be a return to a Feudal past with negligible tax
on the rich and very low wages for everybody else. Is that the sort of
world you want to live in?


Do you think we live in one any different?

Yes, we are heading in that direction but we aren't there yet. And it's
not something that attracts me in the least. Paying taxes is a small price
to pay for delaying that fate for a while longer.

You and a few million other 'gullible Brits'

You mistake: I nether buy coffee at £3.50 a cup nor run a 9mpg 4x4 people
van, so I'm not "gullible" by your definition.


They are not the only criteria for 'gullibility', I'm sure you would qualify
amply on other counts. Not a 'football fan' are you?



need to bloody well wake up - at least before the 'Baby Boomers' push the
number of *pensioners* in the UK to 30 million!

And what, exactly, do you think these "gullible Brits" need to wake up to?
A large number of pensioners will require more taxes, not less.


You really see Nikolai and Guldeep paying Income Tax at 80p in the pound to
keep a load of old farts toasting their tits on the Costa for better than 30
years?
