    How much more money grabbing can this government get, yet then they waste millons or billons on failed projects anyone forgot we are still paying for the dome? I don't know how they sleep at night.

    Taxing charities, another great move from our wonderful government.

    That's disgusting. Charities are tax-free donations. That's the WHOLE POINT!? :confused:

    Charities have always paid taxes, whatever government has been in. Quite a few things are exempt, one reason why there are so many fake charities about, and don't forget New Labour brought in Gift Aid, where if a tax-payer makes a donation, the charity can also claim the income tax originally paid by the donor.

    If someone on the basic 22% rate gives £7.80, the taxman adds £2.20. :thumb:

    yeh but one thing New Labour realy need to learn is that paper work costs money.
    Taxing something, which u then have to claim back costs money, not just your time and money, but more civil servents etc.

    Take health care, jinkies, waiting lists are shorter because they have a waiting list for the waiting list. The slime costs time and money.

    Education, bloody paperwork for everything, while the unoins have a habbit of overating the problem for dramatic effect, its still true that teachers can spend 20% of their time writing student evalutions.

    Pre-School kids as young as 4, 4 years old, have to be evaluated now, have progress charts, THEY ARE 4 YEARS OLD FFS.

    I couldn't do long devision by hand until i was 8, purely because it hadn't needed to figure it out yet. Once i did i move from retard set to top set, i had been streamed at age 8!
