That's a convoluted argument. PAYE is only a fraction of tax revenue and you have hypothecated part of it. This is an example of how we can reduce spending instead of stealing perceived wealth.

You're obsessed by this wealth thing. You see something of value and want it for yourself. Somebody else has something and you don't and you want to steal it from them. There is nothing wrong with wealth.

Slum landlords? Please explain. If you're paying a mortgage it's usually to buy a property.

Do they steal it, or offer something in return?

Or a heart attack maybe? ;-) I wasn't advocating no taxation, just something more reasonable. 20% is plenty.

Neat. American spelling cunningly slipped in! Cool.

Why call it redistribution? Very little money goes from the poor to the wealthy, it's all one-way.

Because it's part of the tax structure, just as much as tax-free allowance, and it would cost far more to remove it selectively from those deemed unworthy.

No problems. I have been watching this route for the possibility of spending a week at lake Garda, when the doc gives the ok.

17:50 tomorrow I believe. Saturdays only.

Yes please, bite his hand off. Just make sure you don't touch his legs.

But that's what happens now?

Congratulations. From now on your life will not be your own, but that's ok. You'll be the daddy, head of the family, paterfamilias. You will suddenly be responsible for clothing and feeding all of you and not just yourself. It will be the most rewarding experience of your life. Remember to enjoy every moment of their growing up. Very soon they will have grown out of sandcastles on the beach and you'll be lying awake wondering what time they'll come home. Then one day they'll be looking after you. Don't be too busy working, make time for your family, nothing else is more important. Good luck!

Taxation is legalised daylight robbery. Stop spending and wasting and we could all keep more of what we earn.

I can go to that. When is the next round?

Yes, international weekend, innit.

Come on, ketchup.

According to the Daily Mail he has done his ankle ligaments and could be out for three months.

We shall know by tomorrow midnight. I can wait.

'deliberate kick' is the law. Do you think he meant it? I have always taken 'deliberate' to mean that the player must have thought about it.

Thanks, I'll be watching.

Got to be pleased with the result. Shame about the clean sheet. When's the draw for the next round?

Everything was negotiated away when we were skint.

Yeah, whatever.

Not actually illegal.
