    i like charles kennedy - i just can't stand the lim dems and their liberal views and crappy policies - although taxing the rich is good...

    i WOULD normally vote tory - but can't stand the leader again. BRING BACK PORTILO!

    Labour haven't been bad i just don't trust them - and i wonder what blair and brown are cooking up..

    So - as i don't think ANY of the parties deserve my vote - i'm not voting.

    NONE OF THE ABOVE!

    Some people work 70-odd hours a week, in grueling shit jobs, just to keep themselves and their families alive. This country is great at keeping the rich richer off the back of the poor, shown by the ever greater rich/poor gap.

    The rich are the best at avoiding tax, plus they can afford it, as Rossy said, who really needs upwards of £100k?

    There's almost half the population of the world living in poverty, with a lot of them ravaged by disease and famine. And it's the rich people (those who earn 100k+) who are the only ones who can really do something about it, but they are all too collectively greedy to give half a shit about anyone else.

    Tax the fuckers to buggery I say. :D

    People died for us to have the right to vote so i think it's a shame that people like you won't be.

    why do you think people who commit crimes are often given far less sentances than they deserve???????

    and murders such as Sadam Hussain are being kept alive?

    and paedophiles get let out practically straight away and given different names and protection when the kids and parents are left to suffer FOR THE REST OF THERE LIVES.

    thats HUMAN RIGHTS FOR YA!

    i agree. human rights lets people off with far too much. i would want to see Britain turned ito a fortress island. i sick of hearing about terrorists being caught with chemicals and poisens. im also sick of our governments lack of respect for English people. Im also sick of the governments cuts towards the nhs and armed forces. we need more coppers o the street and bigger fines/sentenses for criminals. life should mean life

    I agree! I think its unfair for people who have worked hard for their money to get taxed loads more than others

    I won't be voting (for obvious reasons :p )

    yeah your right some ppl do work 70 hours a week but did they go to uni for that! My dad was still at Uni when I was at school to get where he is at now and travels all over the country and doesnt see his family as much as he likes so we all make sacrafices mate! He earns a 100k upwards because he choose to and he wants to support his family the best he can!

    So Labour have done all they can to get ppl back into work-
    Unemployment is down by 50 per cent in Gateshead East & Washington West and around 2,330 people have got jobs thanks to Labour's New Deal in Gateshead East & Washington West since 1997. The Tories would axe the New Deal and return Britain to mass unemployment.

    And My Dad doesnt pay as much tax as you like but he aint greedy he does his bit for charity and gives a hell of alot of money else where when its needed!

    So nope dont tax the fuckers....cause they earn their living the way they want to earn it! IMO!!!!!!!!!

    Since when did the UK Human Rights act effect Saddam Hussain?

    So you can't kill people who may or may not have commited a crime. I think I can live with that so long as my human rights are enforced. Have you saw what happens to the people unfortunate to be born in some countries that don't enforce it?

    They end up fleeing to countries like the UK because their own can't protect them. I'd love to see you fleeing to a country like India because your human rights were violated.

    They earn their living by keeping others at the bottom, or have you not realised that classes still exist in our society?

    And Labour have done all they can to keep the rich even richer - the economy is doing well by putting everyone into debt, apart from those that can afford to never use credit (guess who? :rolleyes: ). Or have you not realised that the riff-raff plebs no longer 'own' their homes?

    And again, there are hundreds of millions of people suffering around the world when there is more than enough wealth to spread around.

    Greed is the biggest sickness on this planet.

    No offence to you - but if you'd grown up without the silver spoon in your mouth you might see things differently.

    How do the richer ppl keep the others at the bottom exactly?
    Ppl go to uni to earn a better living is this correct? When you get offered a payrise do you decline it because you think no it wouldnt be fair on the ppl in Africa! Do ppl work overtime to get more money for things they want to do?

    Yeah I realise they are classes but you determine what class you are in by how hard you work to get the money you deserve to earn!

    I dont have a credit card because when I dont haev the money I dont soend any! Its not hard! I lose out on things I would like things Id live to do cause I cant do it cause I cant AFFORD it! And I am not stupid enought to get myself in dept for it!

    I have the things I have in life cause I work hard to get them and I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth I dont see my dad's money cause that is his money!

    How hard you work to get the money you deserve my arse - please justify why anyone needs to earn over £100k pa?

    If I work overtime, I may buy something small, say a new pc for example. A rich person on the other hand, buys another storey for his outdoor gold-plated toilet.

    Your dad may treat the symptom by throwing cash to charity, but unfortunately he's part of the cause.

    I'm not going to post another reply on this, as I feel that it's views like yours that make this world a very sad place to live in.

    He doesnt need to earn over a 100k but he chooses to so he can have the luxeries in life such as 3 holidays a year a nice car and a nice house and still be able to out food on the table and support his family!

    How do you know what rich ppl spend their money on?????????
    As you say' another storey for his outdoor gold plated toilet' that is very stereotypical of you! But tbf its his money HE earned that HE went to uni for that HE worked hard to earn so HE can spend it on what he likes.............

    Why should ppl that bum off school most their life then get a job without any qualifications get taxed the same as a person that went to school every day workd hard then went to uni and gets a decent job??

    You get out of life what you put in!

    i didnt say everything about Human Rights is wrong, it is just sometimes used by people who have commited horrendous crimes and by people who dont belong into society as a means to get away with it which in turn makes civilised people like me and not you suffer.
