Any plans to raise VAT? (includes the woman who pwns the MPs) (Question Time, 29.04.10)

[weetabixish]

Ha ha ha! Foreigner ranting about immigration!

[DaPs166]

''We're in debt, so lets raise taxes''

The people of this country lose out TWICE. They go into debt personally, then face the brunt of the national debt too.

What a shame.

[Fizzypop1211]

its a fucking stupid question. what other answer(s) could be given? We all wanted the answer to be "no" - - but for how long? forever? 12 months? no answer short of a reduction would be good enough and that would leave us even more double fucked than we already are now. Big mouth stupid cow couldn't handle the truth so made like she never got it. The truth is VAT is the sideshow to how fucked we are. gotta job? no? well you wont give a toss about tax then will you.

[RoofLight00]

The woman who spoke out about MP's being paid by us was great, shame the chap after her took the wind out of her sails by droning on. They were all actually lost for words though! "we pay for you!"

[darkastonvillafan]

The tory's did rise VAT in the end.

[trev37]

she is so bloody right, mp's NEVER answer questions and if this woman did run for election we might be better off 

[liam7988]

why dosnt she run for election if she thinks she can do better?

[CookieCrumblz]

Balls was right.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@CookieCrumblz Was he right to borrow £3,000,000,000?

Ed balls talks Bollocks.

[CookieCrumblz]

@TheLiberalKnight Fuck off!

[87PLS]

@TheLiberalKnight No but he was right that labour hadn't raised VAT in 13 years and the tories would do it within weeks of being elected.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@87PLS VAT is just one indirect tax. Taxes rose considerably under Labour. They have no regard for supply and demand. They squeeze as much aspiration and profit from taxes as they possibly can, before spending it all on public services in order to create more voters who are dependent on the state for their job.

[merionuk]

@CookieCrumblz Balls is a complete dickhead

[CookieCrumblz]

Liam Fox and Vince Cable are such liars!

[mainsqueeze1977]

Why so upset? He answered the question ... and using the word "pwn" actually suggests stupidity.

[richieblackhearted]

@mainsqueeze1977 No it doesn't. It simply means you are familiar with modern day parlance. Misuse of punctuation marks such as an ellipsis would though.

[assassinmakidoo]

I can't believe our Country is ran by old cunts like this, they all jealous their penises are broken, they hate us for it! >_>

[archimago42]

You come off as a bit ignorant when you demand to know if a tax will be increased in the future with absolute certainty. Reality is dynamic, any politician who says YES or NO to a question like that is being disingenuous.

[rareisalive]

If you don't pay taxes, you can get arrested.

If you do pay taxes, you get fucked over sideways.

We're the loosers by the people we hire.

[GamingLogics]

I like how when the woman is saying "All you ever say is but or however" and he says "but" when she is saying it.

[liamjlhill]

All of them do answer the question.

What's the problem?

[crackingguy123]

Liar Liar............ took hospital away, police , education, jobs , libraries, courts ... everything.. first and last time we made mistake.

[eezye1295]

@crackingguy123 The cuts are because Labour borrowed money at a ridiculous rate for 13 years.

[escortmk112]

@eezye1295 Your a tory fool.

[eezye1295]

@escortmk112 I'm being called a fool by someone who can't spell? Whilst you revisit primary school grammar, try coming up with a proper argument or response. ''Your'' a fool.

[escortmk112]

@eezye1295 Funny how people resort to spelling when they are in the wrong. A tory will punish the people with least to pay for capitalist greed. A tory will run down NHS schools and hit the old , FACT. A tory gave us loss of idustry miners stike ect mass unemployment they sold every thing they could and lets not forget the POLL TAX.

[eezye1295]

@escortmk112 Despite most of what you say being either factually incorrect or completely unsupported by any proper figures, do you take a moment to consider that these harsh actions taken by the Conservatives were because of the economic mess left to them by previous Labour governments? You also ignore the successes of Conservative administrations such as the National Lottery and Council House Ownership legislation. What education and qualifications do you have may I ask?

[escortmk112]

@eezye1295 Is it not a fact that Thatcher engineered the miners strike gave us the poll tax had patients lined up in corridors had school buildings falling apart. Is it not a fact a Tory will always use the term because of the previous goverment. Coucil houses should never have been sold without replacements. Lottery ,i must give you that one. Education , ill send you message

[mainsqueeze1977]

No, it's not a fact. And the miners' strike was years before the poll tax.

[escortmk112]

@mainsqueeze1977 I can assure you it is a fact and the strike poll tax both under thatcher fact

[mainsqueeze1977]

@escortmk112

Oh, now of course I believe it after you assured me. After all, this is the internet.

[Supersmooth007]

@eezye1295 Agreed! Labour kept borrowing to keep power and you can't borrow your way out of debt! Plus Labour hid behind our debt crisis problem and now they moan that spending cuts are too far and deep and fast etc when they would be doing the same. Labour didn't think far enough ahead to the future and they are criticising every cut the coalition is doing o score political points.
