Please note - 25 years, not just the past 14 - 25 years of Labour.

Look on the bright side, the devolved government have vowed to make Wales a "racism free nation" by 2030. Hadn't realised racism was such a big problem there.

So you're in favour of racism?

When he sent me this private message a few years back I foolishly believed we had heard the last of him. How wrong I was

Hi Max. Seems I may be a goner on the forum. The mods finally decided I’m too hot to handle and applied the ultimate sanction, worthy of the Labour Party.

Just want to say I’ve enjoyed our jousts and I really enjoyed your sense of humour. Master of the one liner for sure.

But, alas I have stardards and I will not betray them for what I see as scumbag moderators. So unless they restore my name I will not post. Happy in the knowledge that they resorted to this as the only way they had a chance in debating with me. They have waved the white flag. Shame, I’m always up for a good argument.

Take care Max. Once I log out it will be the end. You will miss me.

Dunners excepted of course

Then you need to research farmers. Having land worth a million is fine. Having outbuildings and equipment worth thousands is fine. But unless the tax man will accept a tractor, a few cows or acres of land in payment then farmers need cash to pay their bills. Asset rich means selling assets to pay bills. That means selling assets or taking out loans. And/or putting up prices or reducing the numbers of casuals employed. Or just selling up.

Luckily the equipment will be covered by the generous business property relief and the farm buildings and land by the agricultural relief.

It's win win for the farmers.

Hang on. Are you telling me that Dohnut has got this all wrong?

I know. It took the Tories for ever to fix the absolute shambles left by Labour. I recall all the flack they took in the process. What goes around etc.

Still, as we enter austerity mark 2 under a different name I’m sure Labour will screw things up ever faster. Off to a great start. Hypocrisy, lies, back handers, cronyism, poor judgement. They’ve certainly won the race in achieving that.

We have dedicated a whole thread to listing their Greatest Hits: viewtopic.php?t=14083

It's always worth a re-read when you fancy a chuckle and reminder of the good 'ol days.

Of course we also started the vaccination program long before others. And lots of people died worldwide. When you look at the data gathering what was apparent was how other countries collated their data and what the included and importantly excluded. But looking at the global statistics and accepting their fragility, we didn’t do too bad.

Do I think Labour would have faired better given the uniqueness of the issue. Look around elsewhere and the answer becomes clearer.

But what is becoming clear on this thread is lots of “look at how bad the Tories were” stuff and a few personal comments. Fine, but that completely misses the point, in fact it simply reinforces my point of what a crap job Labour are doing, all this diversionary stuff being the only comeback.

Labour are just a shambles. What they said, what they are doing. Their response, just blame the Tories. A stock answer because as yet they have naff all constructive to offer. It’s embarrassing, just going on too long.

Being blind to the realities of politics is, in my humble opinion, a very dangerous place to be. We all have our preferences for sure but to be so blind to the realities is? Not too sure I can find the right words.

Still, takes all sorts. I much prefer being open to the fact there is good and bad on both sides of the political divide. Tories made mistakes, Labour are fecking up.
