David Cameron...how Much Longer?

[kloofnek]

How much longer has David Cameron got to finish his term?

[TWR]

A lot seem to forget Thatcher & her lies, the lies that destroyed the miners & the country, dream on regards a good life with these bunch of clowns, what's next? Bus Passes, Heat Allowance, TV licence, you think these are safe? THINK ON.

[kloofnek]

Oh,they will be next!!!

[kloofnek]

Yes,but a good thing for whom???

[zebo]

Why does everyone bring up the rubbishy questions about the price of a loaf or bread or a pint of milk? Looking in the supermarket, it's possible to pay from less than 50p up to over £2 for a loaf of bread. I personally couldn't give a definitive answer to these as I rarely buy these in isolation.
Why also is there an assumption that all Tory MPs are "posh" and all Labour MPs are "of the people"? How many Labour MPs could answer these 2 important barometer questions? Surely, the PM who made the most, financially, from his term in No 10 was Labour.

[TWR]

Ask the people that keep getting made jobless Teuf, Tory Policy, look after your own & that's exactly what they are doing.

Blair didn't make a mistake when he signed over to Brown, same as Fergie didn't when handing over to Moyes................rats and sinking ship springs to mind.

[kloofnek]

Well folks I am going to bow out now...off to watch the soaps on my tele for which I have a licence costing almost as much as the TV itself did.
Will look in later and see how far this posting went.

I wouldn't bet on it. In this as in many other ways he was an assiduous imitator of Thatcher, who made a great deal from speeches.

It's just Blair's wealth seems to be more transparent than Thatchers.

Such a patriot she stashed her money abroad in tax havens. Her £12million house which she lived her last years was owned by a company registed in the Virgin Islands. Avoiding about £5million in inheritance tax for Carol and the boy wonder.

[Gromit]

// Under UK law, those who inherited the property to would have had to pay inheritance tax of 40% of its value, or up to £5 million, if it were registered as belonging to a UK resident.

The house was bought in 1991 by Bakeland Property Ltd, which was then based in Jersey, and then sub-leased to a firm of the same name registered in the British Virgin Isles, another offshore tax haven.

"This can be very beneficial indeed and can save a large amount of money in taxes which would be othewise due."

Accountants said that they were acting as nominees for a trust with concealed beneficiaries. //

Mark Thatcher quietly made his fortune as an arms dealer.

I hope we don't have to put up with Cameron too much longer. They truly are the nasty party. No housing benefit for under 25s? How and where are they supposed to live?

[Svejk]

/// How and where are they supposed to live? ///

Erm, wherever they can afford to live. Just a thought.

[Cloverjo]

If there is no housing benefit many of them won't be able to afford anywhere. Rent and house prices are huge. Wages are low. Decently paid jobs are hard to get.

[grumpy01]

If we are honest we really don't have much choice as regards the three main party leaders.Worse though is the fact that no one else looks capable either.

[DrFilth]

very true grumpy and after living under the tories a few times i can understand why the french started to have a good clear out in 1789

[Svejk]

Housing benefit has created a false economy, certainly in London, and probably in other parts of the country. More and more people on minimum/low wages, 5/6/7 hundred pound a week rent for flats/bedsits. I don't know how or why we've got into this situation or the solution but, imo. No working person should have to go 'cap-in-hand' to the government for enough money to live(badly) or the council to keep a roof over their heads.
I'm sure I heard yesterday the average FT100 chairman 'earns' 4.5 million a year, which is double their 2008 earnings. There's something very wrong going on, imo.
