You mean '...<i>Property rights (attack landlords,)</i><br /><br />You mean 'tax landlords' as opposed to not tax them, or subsidise them even? Does property rights mean not being taxed as other investors/businesses are, being handed subsidy via the welfare and being bailed out when things go wrong via monetary system?<br /><br />Besides, landlords that use limited companies are getting a corporation tax cut like every other business. The stamp duty hikes are for any second home, not just landlords. And the Bank of England is probably quite right to warn about the dangerously thin margins that folk investing in BTL depend on.<br /><br />You'd have to be tripping really to think the government are giving landlords a hard time.Steven_Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029437876479574883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-78852800711209794512016-03-26T14:53:33.975+00:002016-03-26T14:53:33.975+00:00ND and Late Night -totally correct of course.

The bovine stupidity of the traditional Labour vote is ridiculous.<br />On the other hand, to place one's trust in the current Conservative Party seems equally as foolish. Patriotism (the Party of Europe and mass immigration), the Nation State (Globalists/the party of Europe), Property rights (attack landlords,)common sense (the green con and just as common purpose as the others)etc(I'm sure EK could complete the list),.<br />Two cheeks of the same arse.<br />There are a million reasons to vote for Brexit but perhaps the most important is that we might then have more of a chance to hold them all to account.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-60397145948483538222016-03-26T09:37:25.400+00:002016-03-26T09:37:25.400+00:00LateNight - I once heard Norman Tebbitt say:

Help them to do it to themselves by allowing unfettered immigration and shit housing conditions and they'll join a union and vote Labour all day long.<br /><br />A sort of 'treat em mean, keep em keen' mentality.<br /><br />Simples.MyLateNightNamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-11615461370047614452016-03-25T23:04:05.564+00:002016-03-25T23:04:05.564+00:00I thought the Tories were trying to lose London to...I thought the Tories were trying to lose London to prevent the excorbynation of the Labour party?<br /><br />BEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-30100026139202979492016-03-25T16:10:25.579+00:002016-03-25T16:10:25.579+00:00Dearieme - The Aslef journal is full of "The ...Dearieme - The Aslef journal is full of "The EU has been brilliant for worker rights."

Tell me, why on earth hasn't Labour decided to support Brexit, or at least announce a free vote for Labour MPs and shadow cabinet ministers? Or perhaps it has and I haven't noticed.<br /><br /><br />What if England (and Wales and NI) vote, however narrowly, for Brexit, but the Scottish vote is enough to defeat Brexit? And then Scotland proposes to leave the UK anyway?
