When you answer my question that i put to you about Labour massaging the unemployment figures, you implied they had manipulated them to make them lower,you seem to have conveniently ignored that question considering you brought it up in the first place as an answer to ecuk´s post

Strange as it may seem to you, i´m in complete agreement with you on this one. He cut the 10p rate to pay for a headline grabbing basic rate cut. People seem to be under the mis-apprehension that i am a New Labour supporter. I do not and have never supported them,but i have to say they are preferable to the disaster that is the Bullingdon club.

Of course it was fairer for some and not others, but my original point was that it was unfair to cut the taxes of the very wealthy and increase those of the poor

Good for your mum,I wouldn´t condemn anyone who took advantage of the right to buy scheme,but why did they say councils couldn´t build new homes to replace those that were sold. Without getting too deep, in simple terms Thatcher wanted everyone to have a mortgage so that they would think twice about exercising their hard fought right to withdraw their labour in any dispute with their employer.

Can you answer my original point for me? Was it fair that the very rich got a tax cut and the poorest got a tax rise, just that point nada mas.

My point was do you think it was fair that the very rich got a massive tax cut ( they didn´t ****ing need one ) and the poorest ended up paying more? Just answer that point please and don´t go off on a tangent about some poor little old lady next door

Sorry mush i don´t use the pound i use the Euro, I would have thought that a weaker pound would have made British exports more competitive, thus better for the economy.

Where the hell do you get that from? For what it´s worth i think that the middle classes as well as the poorer sections of society were subsidizing the rich e.g my Lord Montagu example.

Maggie signed the Single European Act

You can mention anything you want but it has nothing to do with my point that Montagu gained whilst the family in Millbrook lost out. My point is that the Poll Tax was an unfair and regressive tax where the rich who lets remember have got quite enough money already were being subsidised by poorer members of society.

Quote ( Wes Tender ) My mother has her own house with no mortgage on it and because death duties which were introduced originally to tax the super rich when they died have not been increased over very many years by the level of inflation, she will have to pay some death duties when she doesn't live in a grand mansion, but just happens to live in an area where property prices have risen. If she needs to be placed in a state care home, she would have to sell her house to pay for it, even though she and my father paid taxes all through her life. Not fair, is it? The reason your Mother may have to sell her home to pay for care is legislation enacted by John Major´s Conservative government

Who said the family in Millbrook had bought their house and taken advantage of the right to buy legislation?

Why? See above post.
