    By your love of Labour it seems you want to protect welfare and ban everything else to tax for it. Rather than review welfare and award only to those who are in need.

    No, I mistook you for someone who might have a worthwhile view. I was wrong.

    You mistake your incorrect interpretations of the Labour Manifesto with my opinions.

    Anyway getting back to the point of the thread, I will not be getting behind you and supporting you. I consider you a traitor to the UK who sees our future as nothing more than a tax haven. Nothing else to debate with a traitor.

    I showed you where it said it wanted to ban payroll companies
    You show me, for a change, since you love the Labour manifesto, go on, prove it.
    Let me see you use it to back up your arguments, while I go on YouTube and look for evidence of Jeremy Corbyn wanting to get rid of nukes..

    You want to sell out freedom for nationalisation of the railways, and you call me the traitor?
    Have you ever heard of capitalism and free trade? You just want a state wide monopoly like Cuba and you dare call me the traitor.
    Brexit can go either two ways
    • Socialist Paradise
    • Tax Haven
    and I for one don't want Westminster to be a bunch of tyrants, I want global trade and a job. I don't everybody to work in the public sector.

    ...
    Early days for a United Kingdom yet.
    Let's just hope it doesn't get all V for Vendetta (2005) up in here with our own national socialists..

    Cheap shot, I'd admit, but... Still don't want this to happen.

    Awesome, I used to build fruit machines for my uncle. It was my first job not for my parents.
    Spent my school days in Fruit machine alley after school. Gambling for beer money.

    And this pays off in Vegas. I have been many times and won every time on fruit machines.
    I love them, my uncle has a rental company still. Hires them out to pubs. He does very well out if it. I'm thinking.

    I've done doorman too. But very little of it. Promoting was my part in that scene.

    I get made redundant all the time. Yes it sucks. Is it the worst thing, no. But it is a bad thing.
    I'm 47. I'm a casual labourer. A day labourer or contract labourer. It might be teaching, it might be humping stuff. It might be writing or performing. But I've never had a secure job. Not once.
    So I know about he insecurity. I know about the self esteem loss. And I know about hungry. Lost 2 stone last Christmas. Choice = food or presents. Presents won.

    I'm travelled. I've seen poor. I'm experienced. I've lived on the street. And I'm educated. I've taught in university.
    And I've had good times. Richer times too.

    You think I don't know poverty because I don't like Labour? Bollocks.
    Labour are ****s.

    Navy sounds interesting. Deployment pretty much ended the lure of the services to me. I had so much going on here at that time.
    But I like it. Senior service. Well done.

    3,500 tax inspectors dedicated to the 0.7% of benefit fraud, while 300 are set to police the £5 Billion of tax evasion. We can see the government's priorities. The rich will only work if you give them money, while the poor only respond if you take it away....

    Given that the majority of workers in the UK avoid tax, I think they would all agree that it's a great arse having to.

    The only people who dislike tax avoidance are those it is spent on. And although 50p in every £1 gets spent on them, they don't make up 50% of the workforce. So I'm not to worried about the wages of people who earn so much more than me. Not really Losing any sleep.
    I'm worried about the tax they take from me. The taxes that I could have spent on food. Or rent.

    UK a tax haven? yes please. Attract that foreign investment. Give a pay rise to the private sector. Encourage and reward wealth creation.

    PS started a new British Coffee shop last Christmas. That's what you do if you don't like Starbucks.
    Not...steal from Starbucks to punish them for your intolerance of their success,

    Lazy. Very Lazy. Don't take from others. Make something yourself.

    I was made redundant once promoting Bar Titania Women's + Guests bar (this Lesbian bar)... I was replaced by a beautiful half naked Native American girl who has the same accent as Peewee Herman (I think), she's cool though, we're now friends on social medias but I know her from Soho and she actually knew people I knew from Croydon too..
    She's cool, but I was determined to find another job and I beat out some competition for my job (somehow) and worked alongside my friends for another venue and was with them for what seemed like a really really fun job for 2 years, during which I got my CSCS card and when I became CEO Founder of my LTD I found I needed to go to business school to better understand it all, so I enrolled and handed in my notice to that part time job in Soho that I got after being laid off.
    I was 1 of 2 men employed at the time, another guy with my name came after me who worked inside in the bar, so when ever I said who I was from Bar Titania, they'd go (no you're not, we met him working there) - When I was there, the only other guy was the owner's son and my boss and the guy who laid me off, he offered me an excellent reference if I needed it, but I was crushed when I was laid off from Bar Titania. Somehow they managed to find Lesbian bouncers, but, I loved it, it was like a family, that laid me off and replaced me with a fit Lesbian, gotta admit, I didn't see that one coming. I was there shortly before I got laid off. - They said they couldn't afford to keep me on.

    Wait, the Tory party included this to add 0.7% to the GDP?
    That pig ****ing genius, that was bad still, I don't know how I feel about that but, that year, 2014, we were a nation of pushers and pimps and hos, because we included it in our GDP.

    They aren't mine. You can buy the licence to run them if you like, but I don't want it.
    If you want them, have them. On sale to the general public now. You are lucky other countries wanted to run them, in my opinion.
    But if you can do better, that certainly is preferred. Invest your own money. I buy British as a preference. So I encourage you buy a railway line if that's your thing.

    Me, I have a car.

    The Labour party however didn't want to invest it's own money. It wanted to invest mine. But the Labour party aren't any good with my money. So they aren't allowed to have any.
    I'd sooner give them heroine.

    They really hate that this is a free country. That I can say "no" to them. But it is, and I can.

    You seem to think it's only okay if they're British.
    I know they're okay if they're free enterprise, regardless of what country they're from.
    You really want to replace all the different operators with one state owned one because it's British, and you accuse me of not having a clue, but think 'because the government's British' it's okay for them to play tyrant to the railways.

    You need to realise who the PM is and what country you're in before you go dreaming of a socialist nightmare that puts government in control - it sure as hell isn't Jeremy Corbyn, and it sure as hell isn't the People's Republic of China!

    I believe it's important to buy British over China because of Britain's Labour Laws Vs. China's.
    I would think about cutting China out of the supply chain if I ever bring a product to the market.

    SOME PEOPLE LEARN THE HARD WAY

    The UK has made a disastrous mistake that will cost it about a decade in lower GDP-growth. Close to sixty percent of UK manufactures are sold in the EU (see here), and will face higher import duties. So, internal prices of UK products and services will be generally higher.

    Moreover, measures will be taken to assure that the Financial Center of London suffers also appropriately. Given its significance, the internal financial structure of the EU cannot tolerate a wholly independent London Financial Center no longer under the supervision of EU-law.

    The damage has been done - now it is up to the UK to face the consequences of its choices. (Some people must learn the hard way ...)

    Yes we can see what public ownership of a railway line results in, happy customers and a profit!
