They say they will clear all the deficit in tbe next term ,hmmm if the conservatives are being blamed for our hard times and only reigning in some cash think of the devastation labour will have to do to achieve their aims

What will they sell ,the NHS ? ,all government owned land? ,the ministries privatised? Come on you red banner lovers how will they do it without harming the voter?

Have a little sing it might give some insight

A budget for savers.....? Well....sort of.

 

Now I can put more money in a tax-free ISA. (Limit raised to £15000) Fine, but interest rates are poor

 

I can buy more Premium Bonds (limit raised to £40000 soon and £50000 later)) Fine, but the interest rates from which the prizes are paid remains the same.

 

I can also buy pensioner bonds, at a fixed 4% over three years. That sounds good, but (i) the interest is taxable, and (ii) an economic recovery means all interest rates will probably rise, so 4% might not look so good then.

 

Nevertheless I will probably do all three, and perhaps our family building business (the only one in the district still solvent and with a house for sale) can expand again. A side effect of the recession is that so many builders have gone out of business that brickworks and the like have ceased production. There is currently a twenty-week wait for bricks !

Listening to the radio this morning, manufacturing in the u k is very low, however it is picking up with good news about the japs bringing their railway business to the uk and landrover, jag etc car makers doing rather well in particular exports. What's holding the uk is the e u market it is in reverse. so not too good on the export front into that depressed market. Yet there are some pro Europeans saying that many jobs will be lost if the uk tells e u we'll govern ourselves thanks.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dear: Labour ministers on Sunday appealed for calm after two dire polls led to back-bench MPs openly criticising Ed Miliband for his failure to get through to voters.

Rather 23 that 157 under Brown...

What would labour do first ? cut VAT back to 17.5 %, if they did, do you really believe it will be reflected on high street prices and therefore your pocket ?

 

The 1p off is tax that the brewers have to pay when the beer leave's their Bond. 1p is not knocked off for the end user, your local can charge you 10p more tomorrow if they chose.

 

Jeez, some people just don't get it !

Vat back to 17.5% would make massive reduction on your outgoings pracially everything is vatable funny if you cant see that fuel is the main outgoing nowadays so reduction in VAT would make hugh difference in peoples pockets when labour took VAT back to 15% it made a big difference in the building trade as barry will be able to tell you especially when you charge VAT on a cash job.

 

Please dont tell me anything about the pub trade i owned one sorry a lease and very luckilly sold it some years ago the pub trade is on its knees solely through the pub cos which was brought about by yes you have got it a conservative goverment maggy thatcher made the brewerys sell the pubs off as she said they had a monopoly off to the likes of Enterprize and Punch taverns who yes now own the majority of the pubs now they have destroyed the pub trade and bust many vunerable people in this country with there high rents and inflated beer prices to the landlord when you get a lease for a pub you buy your beer of the pub cos who buy there products very chaeply from the brewers then sell it to you massivly inflated what used to happen when the brewers owned the pubs you just paid your rent and bought your beer directly of the brewery you made the profit on beer no middle man the pub cos want the lot you are just working to keep the doors open for the pub cos not you .

 

Here is an atricle in the beloved daily mail telling us around 26 pubs are shutting each week because of cheap beer from the supermarkets what they dont tell you is why the pubs are really shutting is because the landlords have to buy beer at massively inflated prices from the pub cos so have sell it at a high price to pay the rent the beer bill the rates the heating lighting wages vat every quarter free house are still ok in most cases ask any landlord what he thinks of the pub cos and 99% who have leases with pub cos will all tell you the same story they struggle the reason for massive decline of the pub trade in this country is solely at the door of the conervative goverment at the time who made a massive mistake by making the likes carlsberg and other brewerys sell the pubs off in first place to the pub cos .

 

The pub i had was originally a vaux pub the landlord was there years till the pub co took over then it has seen many lease owners pass through its doors its been shut 6 months and is now opening again and that is in whitby a busy tourists town punch have found another 2 victims they are in for shock 3 punch pubs in whitby with leases were up for sale one girl has just sold her house and has put £80,000 into one shes hasnt a clue what she is letting herself in for if she comes out with anything she will be luckilly she is like most people see the money going over the bar what they dont see is the outgoings tha landlady bit wont last long how the hell the pubs in the rest of country manage is behond me but as the artickle in mail says it all 26 a week good old maggy .
