David Cameron's 10 point plan for power

[Uncle Spielberg]

I wouldn't say Cameron would want to cure AIDS as it mostly kills Africans and Gays, he's probably quite in favour of it

Thanks for that. I hadn't realised Cameron was a racist and a homophobe. I will make sure I don't vote for him now.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I was thinking that! To be honest I think the others are all (quite) good ideas, and I love the idea of a Bill of Rights, but 'sorting out the national debt and government spending'? He might as well say 'Cure all cancers and AIDS' that's probably just as realistic.

Brown already did that on Tuesday.

really to get off the leftist high horse there, with the current threashold at £325k this tax kicks in for alot of ordinary people, hitting hardest those families who didnt realise they would be over (meanwhile those knowing they were wealthy can side step it). why should you pay tax a second time on money you've saved?

Personally I would rather pay inheritance tax when I am dead, and less tax when I am alive.

If you want to pay more tax when you are alive then vote for DC.

As it happens I am not in favour of inheritance tax, I believe firmly that our Income Tax system should be the tax to redistribute wealth. But we do know, that the Tories see this as an attack on their wealth. Not the little guy who home has just gone through a threshold.

I thought the threshold was now around £700,000?

You don't, you are dead, there is a difference between your estate and your living being.

No he didn't! You're confusing your rather simplistic analysis of what he said with the actual words he used.

And I say this as no friend of Gordon Brown.

ironic though that the first time Cameron has actually said what he is going to do (rather than we wont do what the government are doing) he delivers a list of 10 items, 6 of which are already being done. Perhaps the Greens or Lib Dems are the only options out there - mad they may be but at least they've stayed true to their principles (possibly because they know they'll never get in)

Of the 575,000 people who died in 2006, only 37,000 paid IHT.

 

[Yoda]

Has he said HOW he's going to fund any of this?

Just what I was thinking. The Country is in too much debt as it is without having to pay for all of those points.

From the same funds as Brown is using for all his expensive plans he put forward on Tuesday.

You didn't know David Cameron was in the Conservative Party? I thought you were supposed to know about politics?

Uncle C is correct that it is £325k, after that you pay tax at 40%.

So if you inherit a house worth £400k, you would have to pay 40% x £75k= £30k, leaving you with a paltry £370k to spend on hookers and gin.

How did the 37,000 manage that from 6 feet under?

Post dated cheques

Number 7 reminds me of when that Jimiroqui bloke did a political interview a number of years back. When asked about a variety of issues his repeated response was 'well, they've got to sort it out havent they?'

Quite.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Has he said HOW he's going to fund any of this?

Cut back on bureaucracy no doubt. This is what they tend to say when their numbers dont quite add up.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I presume this is a gag Mellatron?

I mean, I could knock up a similar list in 10 minutes.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

My 10 point plan for power:

1. Free Albion shirt for every man, woman and child in the country.
2. KFC to be National dish.
3. Two day working week on full weeks pay.
4. Compulsory Carribean holiday for the whole UK every year.
5. Levi Roots to be Prime Minister
6. MP's expenses to be limited to 76p per week.
7. Murderers, rapists and child abusers to be castrated and tortured in public.
8. 'Brighton Pier' to be immediately put back to 'The Palace Pier'
9. Archer, Belotti and Stanley to have assets seized and distributed to the poor.
10. Anyone caught saying "the withdean" instead of "withdean" to face £50 fine.

Would you vote for me

Isn't Council Tax sorted by local councils, either County Councils or Unitary Authorities? So, it is nothing to do with central government.

And while we're about it, what is a "typical family"?
