Inheritance Tax

[BillyStubbsTears]

If you wanted proof that the Tories have given up on the next Election and are looking to line their own pockets before they go, here you are.

Hunt has been saying for 12 months that there's no money for tax cuts or for decent pay rises for nurses and teachers. Yet it looks like he's found money to cut a tax that applies to only the wealthiest 4% of the population.

Tories gonna Tory, of course.

Now if Alfie May was in charge........

[BillyStubbsTears]

Well obviously we'd inherit the Earth.

[Bentley Bullet]

Well obviously we'd inherit the Earth.

And you STILL wouldn't appreciate him!

I'm sure that comment made sense to you, but....nope. Beats me.

[Bentley Bullet]

Too taxing for you?

Another reason why they should be consigned to the dustbin. Tories work for minority not the majority

How does that work in politics?

It's all about psychology

[Bentley Bullet]

Ah right! Care to explain?

[roverstillidie91]

Ah right! Care to explain?

Essentially the Tories and Labour are very clever at making you believe in something whether it is against the public sector, strikes, austerity.

Obviously I can see you are defensive on some of the things I state however from supporting the Tories/Labour you are basically supporting people who aren't anything like us. Basically rich people.

And the general public are too gullible to fall for it which is sad to see.

So here they cut inheritance tax for the 4% wealthy. However there isn't enough money for public services.

It's all about priorities.

And with Labour you won't get much better. People should vote with their feet make a difference, you always hear the same old 'it's not worth voting or nothing will ever change'. It is how they get into your heads and it just gives them more power to do what they want.

And worse is yet to come.

[Bentley Bullet]

My point is how do you get enough votes to win an election if you work for the minority and not the majority?

Tories work for their rich friends, they serve themselves not us.

[Bentley Bullet]

But the rich friends of the Tories are only a tiny representation of voters, how did the Tory party win by a landslide in 2019?

rtid91, I do believe that some posters on here try to brainwash people in the same way.
Repeating the same rhetoric day after day.

[Bentley Bullet]

True Hound. We should have a Three Degrees of Tory Hatred Board in the Forum so that those of us who want to turn every thread into one about Tory hatred can indulge ourselves freely.

And some people agree with it, and some don't. Which makes for good debate.

[Bentley Bullet]

If you think good debate is searching the internet to find anything anti-government, and believing it, whilst disregarding any alternative account of events as a lie, you're in the right place!

Don't let them divide us, it's about sticking together !

[Bentley Bullet]

The thing is, rtid91, I don't want to stick together with some of the posters on this forum.

My point is how do you get enough votes to win an election if you work for the minority and not the majority?

When you know you're definitely going to lose the next election, that's the time you do all the unpopular (or self-serving) stuff that could well lose you an election you might win otherwise.

So, as BB asked, how did the Tory’s win by a landslide in 2019.
Are you saying they were just looking after their mates pre election, or was it that not enough people trusted Labour to run the country.

[i_ateallthepies]

My guess would be not enough people trusted Labour led by Jeremy Corbyn to run the country.

[Bristol Red Rover]

But the rich friends of the Tories are only a tiny representation of voters, how did the Tory party win by a landslide in 2019?

Really?

Most voters will go with where the beeb, the Sun etc sends them. Why otherwise would turkeys vote for Christmas?

Add on the desperate efforts the establishment will go in its propaganda and lies to avoid policies that do serve the many rather than the few.

The proposed dumping of inheritance tax is disgusting. Most people don't even know how it works and believe they might be affected. If they are affected and they therefore vote tory then they're not fit for life, just greedy spongers.

[Bentley Bullet]

Is that the same BEEB whose presenters have a significant left-wing bias?

That last sentence BR, is a classic Labour supporter VSC poster trait.
If you vote Tory you must be thick.
There are several of our posters who put that line on here.
Also, if someone has sufficient assets to have to pay inheritance tax after they die,  is it likely that they are a sponger?

Read and ye shall discover true meaning.

BB didn't ask about 2019 in his post I quoted so I didn't address it.

And I said nothing about the last election, nor any specific party so I don't know why you think I did.

Now that you've seen my post (reply 13), how about answering it now, then?

Well if you are being picky, I will be too.
BB didn’t ask about what to do if you want to lose an election but you chose to comment on that.
