I agree with you, but we've forgotten the reason why money was invented. It was a means to an end, not an end in itself. It made trade quicker and easier than the market/barter system. But it's now becoming corrupted to be something you hoard. People with more money they could spend in several...

Wasn't even able to listen today due to other commitments but from this thread I can surmise we won quite comfortably, although that may be because we had about 20 different players on the pitch going by Clive and Benno's commentary.

I hope you were standing up when you typed that or Gaz won't be happy...

No. Islamophobia is a word. The definition of which is an irrational fear or hatred towards the religion of Islam and its followers

We also had very close ties with the US at a time when they were openly allowing (or at the very least turning a blind eye) to fundraising for the IRA, esp in places with high Irish-American populations like Boston. That is under both Tories and Labour.

I think they also forget the massive council house sell off meaning that the market is now dominated by private rental and the extra cost going with that along with the inevitable house price inflation it brought, exacerbated all the time by failure to build more homes to fill demand. To be fair...

Does everyone work at JLR and get paid decent wages? And that's two - how many of that age working there didn't? What kind of wages were they on? Were they paying that mortgage purely by themselves or were the with a partner to share the cost with? Did they have an advantage of inheritance or...

POPPYCOCK!

I was the same with the West Ham Youth Cup team. Joe Cole clearly had some special ability but even after 20 mins I felt his midfield partner was going to have a hell of a career just doing things unspectacularly, running midfield and letting Joe do his fancy stuff. That lad was Michael Carrick...

But the amount of people needing a deposit and the amount of that deposit have gone up. So you need the capital there to begin with to even get the mortgage and be part of the stats. Hence why far fewer people in their 20's and 30's own their own homes nowadays and the people mainly benefiting...

By a few 'unfortunate' phrases I assume you meant a few 'racist' phrases. Plus he's unfit for office because: -he's a liar and as a journalist made stories up. -he was quite happy to give details of a reporter to his fraudster friend so he could beat him up. -he has got a British woman locked...

More disgusting than taking 40% of it because they died?

But as this would be a new method of dealing with inheritance intestacy rules could be changed so that an independent body would be appointed by a court. It wouldn't focus on no-will estates - it would be on all estates. I merely mentioned intestate as it would be a grey area that would need to...

Nope. The trustees would be whoever was appointed such in the will of the deceased, be it another family member, solicitors, accountants, lawyers - whoever. A trustee could set out their successor should anything happen to them. They would just have to abide by the laws of the land, just as they...

Difference is that the terms are steadfast and set in law. At the moment they can have unlimited access as it is trustees discretion. The point is to reduce the amount of power and influence an individual can have due to inherited wealth. Discretionary trusts don't guarantee that.

Did you even fucking read it! It is not inherited by the state - it is managed on behalf of the beneficiaries in the will who can then pass that onto their children etc. Same as now. Only difference is they have slower access to it to prevent them a. having power and influence they haven't...

With the Inheritance Tax I kind of agree with both of you. It has (probably) been taxed at source but at the same time should someone have the large amounts of power and influence those assets bring just because someone gave it to them? That's an aristocracy. I understand and have no issue with...

You're right - no-one does ever talk about Allan Shearer ;)

I think he stopped being 'grounded' a while ago.

Cars can be lethal in the wrong hands but have a practical use to transport people/goods around. Fireworks do not - they just emit bright lights and loud noises and can be lethal in the wrong hands. Only thing a gun is designed to do is kill/injure things.
