Russell Brand is a hypocrite. He uses off shore facilities to avoid paying taxes in this country......OK you say.....This is legal...And yes it is, but if people like him paid what their dues were, then there would be more money to spend on the things that he is banging on about....social welfare.
This man was telling folk not to vote until quite recently....many of those who follow him may not have registered to vote.
This will be especially true if they are at Uni, as there have been changes to the regulations, the last day to register to vote was April 20th......so now he is asking them to vote Labour and they will not be able to because the listened to his first bit of advice.
Russell Brand is a talentless self publicist(and that is the kindest thing I can say about him) anyone who listens to him and follows his advice is deluded.

If we had a flat percentage based income tax system where everyone paid the same percent of their income maybe people like him wouldn't feel they were being ripped off and look at ways to reduce income tax.

Re: The Tories

Good idea Neil, sadly it would never work as it's fair.

It is intresting that we reward hard work and people trying to better themselves with higher income tax bands.

Re: The Tories

Ah the Tories (yawn)....


....Vote peasants vote,it's that time of year again when politicians actually give a flying what you think.
I'm actually looking forward to seeing the results (entertainment purposes only) truth is nothing will change,the same people who have power now (elite landowners) will have power on Friday but don't forget to try and change it as "your vote matters"

Re: The Tories

After 44 years in power Alberta's tories are booted out. What was Canada's most conservative province votes Labour ... well, NDP; same thing. Democracy can work ... real change can happen. Get out and vote folks.

Over here would that be " Labour " or " New Labour " ( aka Conservative ) ?

More like "Labour" than what you have. But the NDP grew up in rural Canada ... Saskatchewan to be exact. However, in industrial areas of Canada, it quickly won support among the working class. It's still the party of the little guy ... still left of center. One reason for their lack of success in Federal elections (altho' they do form Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition) is that a lot of folks over here vote strategically. Many who would be comfortable voting NDP have voted Liberal (a lot like the LibDems) in order to defeat the tories. One reason why this victory is so important for us is that this is a Federal election year. If progressive voters line up with the New Democrats, the Harper tories could be the next set of right-wing sonsabitches to be awarded the Grand Order of the Boot. Good question by the way.

Re: The Tories

Has anyone had any leaflets through the door from the LibDems? They seem to have kept a low profile in Hyndburn throughout the campaign. I believe their candidate lives in Manchester, so maybe she couldn't be bothered to make an effort.
