Re: The budget
.. and when the government changes the taxation rules so that it hurts the easy targets instead of doing its job, you get nasties on this forum showing not a jot of sympathy.

Re: The budget
I'm really unsure what is nasty about the whole thing. It's up to you if holding a second, broadly empty, property is a good use of your assets.
Local authorities will, rightly, consider it an ineffective use of resources since that's not someone living and spending in a local community. |
Re: The budget
First, I should be the arbiter of how to use my assets
Second, we do spend in the community. We pay full rates, shop locally, use local builders & gardener. Neither the state nor its local authorities should have been allowed to do this due to a failure to deliver public policy on house building. |

It’s not on for you to point the finger solely at the failure to build houses, real though that is, when we have a genuine problem in certain parts of the country with families who have lived in an area for generations and can no longer find anywhere to live thanks to holiday homes. Housing is first and foremost a requirement of human existence. Housing as leisure is a distant second. Housing as an investment should frankly be extremely tightly regulated as it is one area in which those who already have material means are demonstrably making life more difficult for those without. If you have more than one house in your possession then you are one of the super-privileged few and frankly you should either pay a sum that recognises your privilege or sell to someone that actually needs it. |
Re: The budget
Chris’ logic is clear From his perspective. But so is mine. Up to now, we have been free as to how we use our property. Now, through policy failure, the government is hitting the easy targets. Then, all of a sudden, the Chrises, Daddies, jfmen etc are also for the hit on the easy targets. They should take a look in the mirror and perhaps go on a Free Palestine march. |
Re: The budget
I can look myself in the mirror quite happily, I’ve discouraged everyone from voting Conservative my entire lifetime and the consequences of doing so are a country in decline.
This is the thin end of the wedge for what will be required to put the country on a level footing after decades of flawed economic policy. And for what it’s worth Free Palestine! |

End of the day you voted for them, and I bet you will again. Sorry but you'll get no sympathy from me. |
