And Then Just A Thought…

   Well, so, all those thoughts thunk by most of us down here have come to pass. Yup, no tax rises for us but hefty NI rises for those wot employ folk and a rise in the minimum wage and guess wot, it’s going to be passed down to us by those big and small outfits wot provide goods and/or services.
   Wot did those up there say a phew weeks ago? There’ll be no rise in council tax... and a phew days ago? ...but if local councils feel the need to rise their council tax, so be it.
   Thus a tad via the front door and a bucket load out the back door. So I/we can put our conspiracy kit back in the locker.
   Oh, wait a minute, another thought. Tin foil suit back on.
   The state pension goes up in April next year, right? Standby at the back door as ever more folk are tripped over the pay tax threshold. Oh, y’all are still at the back door handing back...
   But wot popped into my old head, me being one, was how many very elderly with diminishing mental capabilities will now have to pay tax? How many will not even give it a thought? And of those wot do realise will have forgotten and lost the ability regards how to complete a self assessment tax return? How many elderly with diminishing mental facilities will be hit with fines for none completion of a tax self assessment and/or none payment of tax owed?

   I’m guessing this will already be a tick in the money in column for those up there.

And Then In And Out…

   Just a quick note to let anyone wot’s in the slightest bit interested that I’m still here and like, totally mesmerised by the goings on round our world.
   However, in the words of wot’s below, always remember the longer you live the sooner you’ll bloody well die...

And Then He’s Back…

   So Trumpton’s a winner. Wot happens here? I know, let’s go spray the US Embassy orange eh? Well done just stop oil.
   Regards Steer Karmer I see he’s slapped some nasty taxes on a goodly percentage of our farmers so is he now just stop soil? Never mind, the young folk, thanks to our wondrous education system, don’t care as all they see is just a house in a really big garden and anyhoo, the shops are always full o’ food, right? But where does it come from then? Errrr...
