Ask any economist, the poll tax was by far a fairer tax than the council tax we now have. The mistake Thatcher made was imposing it on the Scots first and therefore strenghtening the north/south divide. I've worked all my days, two jobs a lot of the time and have bought a nice house from my labours, I'm taxed on the value of my house, not what I earn or the services I use. There's only me and the wife, my bin is emptied fortnightly, I stay in a dead end lane with street lights on one side of the road half of which are not lit. Compare that with someone with six kids living in an estate fill

Obviously no idea what your on about,in order to make a living wage before and after the Strike miners in South Wales had to ,work what they called" Doublers", even "Treblers" shifts just to make ends meet!I think it was illegal as the hours were horrendous and operating in the dangerous enviroment they were, but they had to do it.These huge wages touted were for a few areas of England where they had huge 14 ft seams and could cut huge amounts of coal alot more easily than the narrower smaller seams found in Wales. Scotland Etc.Just another lie touted by Thatchers misinformation network. Well

No dogs indoors. In defence of the genuine caring people who kennel theirs, I've seen some kennels cleaner than some houses. To all those who have multiple dogs indoors, here's a fact, your house smells, jump up and down go off in one but, the fact remains you might not notice it but your house with several dogs in will smell, if you want to live in a kennel fine, but don't decry people who don't wish to.

I remember the bread being rationed, god knows who was striking, anyway, myself and my three brothers went in opposite directions to different shops and joined the lengthy queues to buy the most basic requirement, bread. I suppose in this day and age of fast food shops four to a street and many families on benefits living out of carryout shops this is a situation hard to comprehend. Open the bloody mines, doubt you'll get anyone to venture down them, labour handing out money to folk sitting on their arse have seen to that.

She certainly made history but for all the wrong reasons,just look at the amount of men she let die on hunger strike in 1981. She certainly made history but for all the wrong reasons,just look at the amount of men she let die on hunger strike in 1981. What a stupid fcuking statement.

There's certainly an element of truth in that Malt, but, rightly or wrongly I admired her for having that outlook, at least she had the courage of her convictions and didn't u turn to be popular. Take Ed Milliband for example, apologising for new labours failure on immigration, why?, because the bstard wants voted back in. Every man and woman on the street could see the feck up as it was happening and a labour government didn't or wouldn't see it, that in itself says they're not fit to govern and he's certainly not fit to be pm. Also shows the contempt labour holds the British public in, you a

I was born in the shadow of Ravenscraig steel works in north lanarkshire and my father and brother worked there for a spell. Men were walking in to the nightshift with their sleeping bag rolled up under their arm, men were clocking each other in and out getting paid when they weren't even there. When it closed people walked away with generous redundancy packages, my mate who was in just over three years got nearly thirty grand and put through his bus licence, so did many others, in fact it was commonly pointed out at the latter end if it hadn't closed there would have been riots. The same men

The biggest problem with this country is peoples reliance on the government, which, totally suits labour, they either wanted you working for them or dependant on them (benefits) you only had to look at the public sector when new labour were in power. Someone said Thatcher allowed you to buy your house to control you, labours way to control you was to have you dependant on them and this was the trend Maggie sought to break where people could think for themselves.

If half the politicians now had her backbone this country wouldn't be the cesspit it is.

To All You Lurcher Experts, What Is This Cross?
bigdaz replied to whipmistress's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
What the feck difference does that make to anything' and with a name like whipmistress I'm thinking you've logged into the wrong doggin site. -
Another quick point, why should there be child benefit, you want kids rear and pay for them yourself. This island we call Great Britain wouldn't be as overcrowded and the shithole it is if people had to finance their own kids, guaranteed there wouldn't be as many about.

It all gets very emotional, but, millionaires tax cuts aside who pays most into the system?, and even if millionaires are dodging tax who creates the wealth and employs people?.

The problem is that everyone against any reform cites the case of the genuinely needy, as every claimant is lumped together. The genuine would be easier to spot and get what they were entitled to if it wasn't for all the workshy malingerers and imigrants muddying the waters. With the possible influx of god knows how many Romanians and Bulgarians and god knows who else this whole policy will solve nothing, there's simply not enough housing. All that said, there is a bit of me that doesn't agree with the " I'm entitled mentality" I know many scenarios where large families have lived in homes, c

Might have been an idea to address all these issues before you bought your dog. Your dog, your responsibility, don't go throwing your toys out the pram because you didn't get the response you were looking for.

Like you say"youve seen a few"a few is no yardstick?,they are blessed with stamina,obviously with their size possibly not best suited to bunny,s,but the owners that tread the Deerhoundy path won,t be to fussed about that,a bunny won,t fill a freezer that one run with a Deerhoundy lurcher will?and as for not liking teeth,its in the parents,its in the pups,be selective in what you initially source and the rest follows.

Seen a few over the years, a few first crosses and a few more three quarters, not one of them impressed me and to be honest put me off owning one. The original stuff came fom a guy called Andy Barron. Didn't like teeth, didn't have the stamina for an arduous course, rabbits tied them in knots.

A lot of valid points mate, but the fact is for way too long too many people have abused the system. Now I have every sympathy for genuine claimants but what are you saying, that we should let it go on unchecked in case we end up on benefits?. Can't happen, the systems fecked and was originally instigated to prevent people from literally starving, not to keep fat fcuks breeding like rats and living a better quality of life than a lot of people working. The majority of people I know on benefits have been for a long time and it suits them.
-
Not everyone on benefits is a scrounger, but a helluva lot are, we all know them, over the years I've watched people who have never worked and have no intention of, literally from the cradle to the grave at the expense of the taxpayer. Something has to give we can't carry on the way it's going. This British mentality, I'm entitled and I want everything the next guys got is part of the reason this countrys buggered. I grew up in a three bedroomed house with my parents and three brothers and never thought for a moment we were hard done by, now we have people wanting a room for each kid to give t

Dear god, are you for real, the latter are overwhelmingly housed in the private sector, and what?, that makes it ok, the majority will still be getting their rent paid from the public purse which in turn will affect everything not least the building of new social housing.
-
I still find it incredulous people still blinkered enough to single out the tories for all the fcuk ups happening now, do you people conveniently forget between Thatcher and now we had thirteen years of labour. As for millionaires who is and who isn't, look no further than your last shower in office, Blair, Brown, Prescott, Straw, Mandelson, if they weren't millionaires when they came in they sure as hell were by the time they went out. They're all the fecking same posing under a different banner and untill folk stop bickering and realise this we're all fecked.

How many of the four million do you think are incomers due to labours open door policy.

Anyone Run/ran Reverse 3/4 Collie X Greyhound
bigdaz replied to BORDERSCOT's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Not that unrealistic when you think in days passed how secluded most villages were. Many people lived and died in the village they were born in and most probably never laid eyes on a greyhound or similiar. Any dog that put game in the bag was possibly called a lurcher and in those days a canny clever dog would have been a better tool than a fast one belting across fields for all to see. Fast enough to be handy was all that was required. I think myself most game taking by poachers to feed the family and provide some spare cash would have been snared or trapped, far more discreet to set a few s -
Speaking for myself that is, incidentally, I can't spell flatulate and I sure as hell don't know what it means.

Don't know but when you fart that seems to smell worse as well.
