My default position is that they are all cunts.
I suppose I find it more galling that this particular pair of cunts are so obscenely wealthy and yet, whilst asking the nation to tighten their belts and suck up the cost of living crisis, are still silk lining their offshore nest.

That I can empathise with.
I maintain that the ousting of Corbyn was the gravest political error of the last decade.

Yep. When Corbyn got butt fucked I gave up on politics in this country. Itâs over.

I think Pap mentioned earlier that he feels disenfranchised. Iâm in full agreement with him on that.

Thatâs why I put âloopholeâ in speech marks. Itâs poor legislation (like the loan charge), but HMRC like to present them as loopholes - as long as it doesnât affect their paymasters, of course.
Why should they be private, just out of interest? Itâs tax - everyone should pay the correct amount, so why does it matter if itâs public?
He failed 7:2 as soon as he started talking about contractors in any capacity due to his wifeâs interests in Infosys. Said this 3 years ago on this site.
Why should anyone be able to just look up what you earn, or what assets you have? Thatâs your own business, literally. Nobody has any reason to feel ashamed of their health status, so following your reasoning why shouldnât your medical records be available to the general public? It might be useful to prospective employers, fathers in law, etc, or anyone whoâs just nosy. Why should it be kept private if youâve nothing to hide?
Itâs probably more accurate to say I only felt it was worth it once since 1997. Iâve since come to view the whole Corbyn project as a message for people that would like to see change.
The message reads.
âFuck off cunts. Nothingâs changing, and for anyone that thinks otherwise, take a look what we did to your boyâ

If you go into politics, then thatâs what happens. You canât have any skeletons in the closet.
Incidentally, if you are a contractor and work as a Limited Company, then people can see whatâs been paid in and out, so itâs the same thing.
Delicious.
Heâs going to have to resign methinks.
Limited Companies arenât anything like the same as your own personal finances, they are a financial entity in their own right. Iâd be quite surprised if you were happy for all and sundry to have access to your own tax returns, although Iâm sure theyâre correct and above board. Itâs a matter of personal privacy. People are just as offended by the faux pas of asking them what they earn or are worth as they would be by unwelcome questions about their health issues.
Thatâs not true - if you are a limited company contactor you can see EXACTLY what theyâve earned on Companies House.
As far as Iâm concerned, in this shitty world nothing is private, and especially if you go into politics. If you go into politics then you and your significant others can have no skeletons in the closet. Itâs why going into politics is usually a joint decision.
Why do we all know that Boris is a love-rat? Shouldnât that be private? He hasnât told us.
Not everyone thinks that way. Fundamentally personal health is a very different concept to personal finances. In Norway everybodyâs salary is public as is the tax that they pay:

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at 10 Downing Street. One is from up North, another is from Poland, and the third is a Tory Party Donor. All three go with a Tory Party official to examine the fence.
The contractor from up North takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works out some figures with a pencil. âWellâ he says, âI figure the job will run to about 9,000 poundsâ, 4,000 for materials, 4,000 for my crew and 1,000 profit for me".
The Polish contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, âI can do this job for 7,000 pounds, 3,000 for materials, 3,000 for my crew, and 1,000 profit for meâ.
The Tory Donor doesnât measure or figure, but leans over to the Tory Party official and whispers,â27,000 poundsâ.
The official, incredulous, says,âYou didnât even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?â
The Tory donor whispers back,â10,000 for me,10,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Poland to fix the fenceâ.
âDone!â replies the Tory Party official.
