scothunter 12,609 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Surely it would be worth f**k all if the banks f****d off? They print it and guarantee it. I'm not saying banks dOnt rip the piss, but you know there charges. So you make sure you don't occur them. I once was charged 25quid cause I was 1p short for a direct debit. Was I pissed off, yes at my self for not making sure I had sufficient funds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But instead of printing it ourselves the banks do it? HM Treasury should be the be all and end all for monetary value in this country, but it isn't. Hence, if the banks fcuked off with their ridiculous charges they wouldn't apply to the nation, and taxpayers, who are charged for the privilege of buying their own money. As a business charge what you want for overdrafts etc, but private companies are ruling this country and it should be the other way around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lanesra 4,007 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I think it depends what yoy spend it on , for example when buying Diesel your £1 is worth pennies , HOW ... well straight away your hit with 75p tax , then the oil company/carriage and petrol station take there profit so technically you get a few pence WORTH off Diesel for a £1 , though depends how you want to look at it ... As for Conspiracys , if them scum who planned to blow up 5 planes while they where all heading to the states killing thousand's , had been succesfull people would be SCREAMING conspiracy , the police/mi5 broke the plot known as "The Liquid Bomber's" And not a word off conspiracy .. same as the shoe bomber ect .back too money what gets me is when you earn your money you pay tax , so for example you earn £500 and pay say a £100 in tax , so your left with £400 you spend it and virtually everythin you buy is taxed but havent you just paid the tax on the £400 when they took the £100 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticJock 539 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 For anyone's who scoffs at conspiracies, obviously none of you have ever watched Jeremy Kyle Someone comes on the show to do a lie detector, but the night before admits cheating a few times to soften the blow, when the next day they get caught yet again. ''British soldiers capture Taliban commander''... ''US drone attack kills senior al Qaeda leader''. Yeah, but they don't delve into how they've been financed all these years. Or failures. The whole point of these operations is psychological warfare, it's very easy, it works, and it has been tried and tested throughout the ages. Even now, Syrian forces have been accused of bombing their own civilians to excuse and pave the way for their actions. It happens in every s**tty country, but never our own, eh? Are people that blind, or is it a genuine fear of waking up to reality? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes conspiracys are being Shouted all over the place .... but be realistic 9/11 is a prime TARGET for the conspiraters ... how many men/women would it off taken to control all the planes to crash .. the buildings they said where blown up from within i.e. bombs planted in walls ect .. It would take hundreds to be involved , and NOT 1 PERSON comes out and spills the beans , that is the problem , there are probably some things set up but not on the scale we hear !

I see what you're saying mate. Of course it's a target, it always will be as it was the excuse used to get a foothold in the Middle East! Not 1 person spilled the beans? Well, you might be interested to know that a few weeks before, Donald Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon had $1 trillion ''unaccounted for''. Guess who was in the World Trade Centre and the 'affected' part of the pentagon that day? Every single investigator. Coincidence? Maybe. But then again that whole issue was completely and conveniently sidestepped in the aftermath. The thing is with 9/11, it's not so much what happened that day, but what happened after. The Japanese government said they're launching an investigation as they didn't believe the official version, and concluded that the official version is incorrect on a number of levels. I didn't see that on the BBC!!! Then my professional experience shows me that the buildings collapsed as if in a controlled demolition. Then others ie structural engineers and architects said exactly the same. Then the most experienced pilots in the world said some of the manoeuvres of the supposed plane that went into the pentagon could not have been done by the most experienced pilot, as it would have completely broken up. A thousand and one questions that should be answered aren't, but the only response you get is 'don't be so disrespectful'. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 That's the kind of tax loophole rangers were doing with players. Murray had it set up. Let's be honest if we were in that position, And a clever account told you it would save you millions Abd it's perfectly legal. Who woudnt consider that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would, I'm sure we all would If the top banks can avoid tax by having brass plate companies in the channel islands, I'll be fcuked if a sense of 'honour' would stop me from doing it. Let's be honest you're only playing them at their own game, as you said its perfectly legal so why not! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
