  • Don’t believe in vouchers as they restrict what you can buy, and lead to black markets so that parents can buy essentials other than food for their families.

    I do however believe in work for everyone.

    If you claim a benefit and are physically fit, you should have to do some kind of work. Not as a punishment but for all sorts of positive reasons…[Read more]

  • Can’t see how the woman in this case bears no moral responsibility.

    If you are in a pub and you wind someone up so much that they thump you, most people would say that the person who hit you shouldn’t have used violence. But they will say that you brought it on yourself. In other words they will have some sympathy for him and less sympathy for…[Read more]

    Maybe we also need to change our attitude towards tax. Part of the resentment towards taxation comes from the partly-justified idea that rulers take tax from the rules to spend on golden castles, pomp and ego-enhancing standing armies.

  • I think there was something dodgy about the whole thing.

    You back up your data and your system at least every 24 hours, more frequently I would have thought if you were a bank.

  • Egypt’s system of law is already blended with sharia. In practice, many issues regarded in the West as central to sharia law in reality relate to local cultures. The wearing of the hijab for example is recognized as being largely cultural, as the Qur’an evidently requires male and female modesty, as opposed to a specific female garment.

  • BTW I have no particular sympathy for those who avoid tax. If you earn the money you can afford to pay.

    At the same time, there will always be loopholes. I expect people to use them. I also expect politicians to keep closing them.

  • Cameron is a millionaire surrounded by other millionaires. Bet they are all taking advantage of tax laws to pay as little as possible – as would most people. If the loopholes exist to “avoid” tax then it ain’t illegal. Simples. Since his entourage cannot be squeaky clean in terms of tax avoidance, he is heading for a comedown real fast.
