HAVE YOUR SAY

DOES LABOUR MEDDLE TOO MUCH IN OUR LIVES?

Story Image


Has Brown interfered too much?

Saturday December 22,2007

LABOUR'S "meddling" was blamed last night for a crisis in the housing market with the number of first-time buyers at ist lowest since the 1980s.

Critics say a triple-whammy of stealth tax hikes, stamp duty and inhertance tax had worsened the slump.

Millions of young people stand little chance of getting on the housing ladder, experts found.

So do you think the Government is meddling too much? Can Gordon Brown do anything right? Will Labour find a way out of this housing crisis?

Have YOUR say...

Labour are closing this, not because of its history - but because they plan to build five-thousand houses there for immigrants. Note it's in a Conservative area of the country. In other words another five-thousand plus votes to keep New Labour in power.
This government will stop at nothing in their determination to finish off England as a country.

PREMIUM RATES OF TAX

Labour does meddle in our lives they want to control every aspect of our lives, they don't want you to make any decision of your own as it could challenge their power, and yes they are frightened that they will lose power. They say we are British citizens but we are not, we are the Queens subjects. We are European Citizens but without Euporean rights.

Yes, you are right, young Master Troll has probably now become the leading hate merchant on this forum.

It is a sad, bitter and twisted world these poor souls inhabit. Let's hope the season of goodwill has lifted their spirits. If only they could cast off the cloak of hatred, we might be able to get down to some serious debate with them.

NULABOUR MEDDLING CAN ONLY BE LIKENED TO...................

24.12.07, 6:49pm

The communists behind the iron curtain 2 and 3 decades ago and the North Korean totalitarian regime of Kim Jung Il.

Top down, centralised, micro management of all aspects (social, economic) of our lives with the objective of taxing everyone and everything until it bleeds.

NuLabour aren't happy unless they're prying and snooping into every little aspect of our (now considerably more miserable than 10 years ago) personal situations. DNA sampling will be compulsory for every citizen within a few years, also satellite tracking of every citizen is their aim. This they have already proposed with so called 'road charging', They're not interested in reducing road congestion, only squeezing as much tax from us as they can to waste on grand socialist schemes that ultimately result in total failure and the waste of billions of pounds of taxpayers money.

Tax on tax on tax on tax, it never ends. The HIP's that were recently introduced, the government were warned that with the current economic situation it would probably result in a severe market downturn, but would they listen?, they're not interested, simply it was yet another tax that benefits absolutely nobody in the housing market, only the coffers of these thieving socialists.

I hope that these HIP's (on top of all the other government blunders and incompetence) really do bring the overvalued housing market to a screeching halt, this may bring about the wake up call to most people in this country that these thieving trostskyist control freaks have had their time and it's time for them to pack up and pi$$ off out of government.
