Given Milliband's rhetoric about tax avoidance I'm curious to see the reactions to the news about Axelrod.

Those polls are always a bit skewed as committed voters see their leaders through rose tinted specs

But Millipede is doing far better than I ever expected both last night and in general and I had him as the close winner over Sturgeon last night.  Biggest loser was Cameron.
Well, whatever, nevermind

Composure mostly, I expected him to be awful like a spoilt child as the other Ed continues to be.  The Labour manifesto is far better than I expected too.  I can't vote for them, not with both Eds

Elections are fascinating as a spectator sport.

I'd just like to know exactly how big this "mansion tax" is going to be - based on what they reckon it's going to fund it would have to be about a million a pop on any property worth more than a million!

And as for the three neo-marxist fruitbat females, if I hear the fish say housssing one more time I'll not be responsible for my actions . . .

Oh noes....  noooo:

It will only have to be £500,000 on each property... They also have the Banker's bonuses tax remember....  ;)

Which reminds me of this...


Do we have any moronic wingers here...?  rubschin:

And the audience was so evenly balanced as per usual with the BBC . . .

I hate to tell you this Marley but none of here are typical Brits so an evenly balanced audience will always look a bit odd to us.  I'm rather glad meself not to be typical .

And UKIPs auditors CEBR said the average mansion tax bill would need to be £24k.  Enough to make the Ecclestones annoyed but not exactly that £500k.   They also said that the simpler system (wot I'm been saying for yonks) of just uncapping council tax would raise more
Well, whatever, nevermind
