Inheritance Tax

[SydneyRover]

you're a silly boy hound, go right back to the first few comments, haven't you learned yet after all this time, bb turns a topic into an argument, you rush in to defend bb and oppose billy, bb exits and leaves you asking more silly questions.

[Bentley Bullet]

Sydnaye, My brilliant response to Billy's OP was hardly a private joke, and if you kept up you would understand that.

Now, stop changing the subject and answer the questions put to you, there's a good lad.

[SydneyRover]

nothing's private on the forum, haven't you noticed (or taken notes) bb

[Bentley Bullet]

Who said anything was?

Now, stop changing the subject and answer the questions put to you, there's a good lad.

[SydneyRover]

you're the last person on the forum in a position to demand anything bb

I'll rephrase that to be less combative, are you in a position to demand anything bb?

[Bentley Bullet]

you're the last person on the forum in a position to demand anything bb

And who's the first?

You change the subject repeatedly because you can't answer the questions put to you. You don't even know what you stand for, you just stand against anything the government says or does.

[SydneyRover]

whatever you say bb

[Bentley Bullet]

Good, now stand aside and let one of the bigger boys take over.

Which is what  I imagine the majority of the posters on here think

Bang on rtid91.
He is just confrontational most of the time and hardly ever posts on a football topic, on a football forum.

I am respectful of people's view on here and appreciate debate but certain posters take it too far, not very respectful and there's no need to be so irate.

It's when you get full facts put forward to you that you don't agree with them I'd say going into defensive mode. It's probably best for your case on here to just not be easy bait.

What are  your thoughts on the VIP lane and how OUR money got spent there? Removing inheritance tax from the rich and taking from the disabled (medication). And no pay rises for public sector workers.. then again they're trying to grow the economy to pay for this... well for the last 13 years seeing as Austerity did us all no favors just them and their mates

[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.

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?

You missed the point by a presumption and misreading caused by your agenda. If someone has that much money and are persuaded to vote tory for more money, thus taking funds from poorer people,  they aren't fit for life. If someone votes tory for other reasons, I wouldn't say they were necessarily thick, but likely they make choices based on ingredients of insecurity, fear, selfishness, cooked in an oven of self entitlement and/or paternalistic powerlessness.

No misreading of anything by myself BR, just commenting on how your post is very similar in type to many put on here by anti government people.
In your response you have actually made several assumptions yourself so I don’t think you can lecture me about doing the same.
In any society there are people who are well off and others who aren’t but to say that the well off are not fit for life is well out of order.
Plenty of people who are in a very comfortable financial position do much to help those not so fortunate so if they vote Tory would you say that they are not fit for life
Someone wrote on here some time ago that a good socialist is someone who is good at spending other people’s money.

Point missed again. Ah,  well.

It is NOT a fact that the Tories have given up on the next Election and are looking to line their own pockets before they go. That is a one-sided biased opinion that was designed to provoke an argument.

[SydneyRover]

and yet it didn't from yourself bb, just rabbiting on about alfie may

[Bentley Bullet]

You are so uninformed, Sydnaye, you don't understand how much you're embarrassing yourself.

[SydneyRover]

the personal touch bb, you do it so well

[Bristol Red Rover]

It is interesting that we seem to think taxing death is fair, I don't really.  I'd argue we'd be better off increasing tax on the super rich whilst they're still alive rather than taxing something that already was taxed in the first place.

If I died tomorrow I don't really think it's fair my 4 and 5 year old will pay 40% tax on what they inherit.  It just feels such a negative thing to me.

I think both are appropriate, and close the loopholes firmly, shut down all off shore scams, including those of UK islands.

As you hopefully know, your kids will only be taxed on inheritance over £325k, £500k if you keep it to your descendants. So up to £500k untaxed whatever your estate. A £million estate would still be passing on £800k. IMO that 40% should gradually be increased as the estate value increases, and all avoidance loopholes shut.

Yes they have been lining their own pockets not only in advance to the next election but also the last 13 years. Which is total fact.

[Bentley Bullet]

No, it isn't a fact. You're confused. It is your opinion!

Unless you're just trying to provoke an argument like BST does.

I never try and provoke an argument it just isn't my style.

That's why trade unionists such as Mick Lynch always take new presenters and politicians to the cleaners because they have much more depth of knowledge and understanding of society and I dare say no Tory MP would want to go against him anytime soon.

[Bentley Bullet]

Mick Lynch isn't all too keen on certain Labour policies either and is a staunch EU Leaver. I'm sure there are a few Labour politicians and pro-remain presenters who wouldn't relish taking him on.

However, Mick Lynch's opinion is just an opinion. Opinions are not facts.

With good reason. You can't just leave the EU and get what you want. Especially seeing as Tories are after going for the ECHR now seeing as they are trying to shut down protests and stopping striking because they're losing the argument.

Fact is Mick Lynch talks more sense than all the Tory MP's put together.

Just look at how embarrassing that Tory MP was with him on question time and still couldn't take him on even with a Tory audience.

[Bentley Bullet]

Again, that is your opinion. Show me a clip of said QT moment and I'll respond by giving my opinion.

How do you think Keir Starmer and his cronies would handle a face-to-face with Mick Lynch?

Watch for the patterns 91, he doesn't answer direct question and creates arguments because he doesn't know the subject and gets rude when one points out his contradictions.

[Bentley Bullet]

What contradictions have you pointed out, Sydnaye?
