We will shortly be joining the penniless on the streets begging because GO keeps plying more stealth taxes. For arguments sake the extra two and a half percent that he has added to VAT has put entertainment in a no go area. Apparently all the musicians have packed away their instruments for gigs that were organised to happen the latter part of 2015 and the following year, It is a shame that DC and his comic party know only one way – more tax on the less fortunate.
The extra vat on entertainment will have to be passed onto the public who go and see professional productions and the ticket prices will zoom to greater heights. Please don’t expect much change from £100 for a group of four people.
These Billionaires and Millionaires won’t feel any pressures on tax as apparently they’ll get the same fuel payments and all the other freebies going when they reach 65 years of age. Poor little greedy dears!
DC & his comic party are unstoppable and are halfway in ruining this country of ours and the people that voted for them must have been bribed or must have tunnel vision, but at least they are in the same boat as we sane people are.
DC & his comic party are off the hook over immigration, seeing that other Governments are telling us what to do about immigrants and I can remember a BBC Television programme with DC shouting the odds on immigration – how did it go – “No Ifs or Buts, I will stem the flow of immigrants.” ‘Pigs might fly DC!’ Another piece of news that has come to my attention is that Schools are under pressure with the influx of 38,000 children that flooded into the UK last year and of course all are speaking in their native tongue. No wonder Teachers are feeling the strain. A mere pittance of a wage increase for the people who do all the work, the Public Sector, while the MP’s get a whacking 20% rise on top of their exorbitant pay.
Why can’t Mansion Tax and bedroom tax be introduced to the rich – are there two different rules in this country? We all have to abide by the same laws, or do we? Some MP’s get away with claiming maintenance for two properties and if they are someone special, they get a gentle slap on the wrist and admonished with “don’t do it again, I might have to sack you.” We the people get slung in prison.
WORD
I found a game that I downloaded onto my Ipad, it was similar to Scrabble. I thought “Great!” Until I played it and advertisements kept interrupting the game and because the imaginary person I was playing was losing decided to use the word “VORTEX” which meant he or she cleared the board and we had to start again. The ultimate goal was to reach a total of 25 points. I lost, obviously because they hadn’t decided to share the rules with me. Some of the words used by my opponent were somewhat spurious and I immediately deleted the programme. I believe in fair play and WORD was not FAIR and with all the ADS it was a DEAD LOSS. If you pass some silver over into their hot little hands they will cancel all the ADS – but as it stated in the first place that it was a FREEBIE, one doesn’t expect to pay. So if you are tempted, don’t go there!
Don’t you find that advertising is getting worse? We watch SKY and every repeat of a programme has adverts for the same length of time and in some cases more than the programme we are trying to enjoy. Even the BBC are doing ads for their own programmes.
Shortly there will come a time when SKY is no longer feasible to have and I for one will cancel my contract with SKY and buy the programmes. They used to state “You can go and make a cup of tea while the adverts are on.” Now you can practically have a three course dinner! I can accept three intervals of advertising in a programme, but not four as it is now. I will save quite a bit of money and the next time SKY put up their fees I shall cancel my contract.
I will have a go with FREEVIEW – I know I will still get advertising, but I won’t have to pay for them!
