They didn't bother with postal votes either. 2 less votes for Hairbrain. Scenes If she loses by one vote! I'd laugh like a fucking drain! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the offer I'm on - added another £5 and you get box sets. Sports - cheapest I've seen is £15 but that was for existing customers on Black Friday - minimum 18 month contract. That's a good deal you are on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay attention to the phrase should be focused, it's another way of saying 'prioritised'. I mean, I know you're a Tory, but even you can see the logic that it makes more sense to go after Vodafone not paying 6bn worth of corporation tax than going after a guy on Universal Credit who didn't declare that his mum gave him a tenner for mowing her lawn. Yes, he's guilty, and we can jail him, taking more from the public purse, or fine him 100 quid, payable at 50 pence a month, and drain yet more resource monitoring that. No?

Billy Jean King Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 It was the first question asked "how long before we can sell". It varied usually about 3 years but it was a big return in that time compared to any other investment tool. Probably the singular worst govt policy decision in my lifetime. It wasn't that quick. I don't know all the rules but didn't you have to remain in the house for a period of up to five years before you could sell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you recognise that tax avoidance costs the economy revenue, then why did you vote for a party that are unlikely to change laws to combat it? I voted Conservative because I believe on the whole they are the best option for the country. I get what you say about tax avoidance but imo it would still happen whatever party was in government. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has Sky tv and up until a couple of months ago ran a car. The guy is fit and healthy and could easily work if he wanted to. And you would never believe this but he has a poster to vote for Dave Doogan of the snp in his window. Really annoys me that people like him get away with it.

I think people who have to rely on celebrities, comedians, pop stars, and actors for their political opinions are pretty stupid people. Not that I have a particularly high opinion of you to begin with. I'm uber-delighted your opinion of me is as stated. Imagine being labelled as someone wee tory malky either admired or he classed as an equi-w****r.

Rent paid probably in full if council tenant, but subject to local housing allowance if private rent. (May have to chip in difference if more than LHA) Aye.

Detournement Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Voted Labour. I'm going to spend the next five hours in optimistic bliss that a decade of Tory hell is over and we can start building a country that values everyone. Shitting it for ten o'clock but polling stations do seem to be busier so that's something to be hopeful about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have thought that a polling station in Aberdeen would be quiet during the dark period of the 9-5 working day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
