Winter fuel allowance

[Murdochcat]

So would you have any cut off point at all? If so, where?

Lower the upper tax threshold for all pensioners.

Check and simple to do. No controversy

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

Same as me, that's good. I suspect the only difference between us is where the cut off should be.

As you frequently do, you misquoted my words, in order to change their meaning, what I actually said was...

'I don't support it, no, but as has been explained to you numerous times, the millionaires are heavily taxed. They effectively don't get to keep the hand out, so your argument, is the usual nonsense rant.'

Who EXACTLY do you think should pay the extra taxes needed?

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

With respect, that is just boll@x.

No, that is the truth of the matter..

He asked you a question, to which you replied.

And he quoted your reply, word-for-word..............

WFA allowance is tax free, people get it, and keep it, irrespective of thresholds.

 

[denso13]

No, that is the truth of the matter..

Who's ideas is the PM trying to stifle?

 

[denso13]

As you frequently do, you misquoted my words,

Don't be silly. You said you don't support it, neither do I.

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

Don't be silly. You said you don't support it, neither do I.

Only if you misquote..

 

[Murdochcat]

WFA allowance is tax free, people get it, and keep it, irrespective of thresholds.

So you think everyone should keep the WFA?

I said reduce the upper threshold

 

[Notch7]

I'm no tory fan boy

Yes you are

 

[Notch7]

then there was the two tier bolluxs as he tries to stifle anyone with ideas he does not care for

So you think it is unreasonable to stifle ideas such as burning down hotels containing asylum seekers or ideas such as injuring police.

I presume you support such actions then

robbing pensioners of winter fuel and paying it to the already extremely well paid train drivers

Train drivers are paid by train operating companies who get their money from passengers.

It is true that train operating companies are subsidised, but you cannot claim that train driver wages are paid for in full by the government.

Also the govt have to pay train operating companies the revenue lost on strike days, so by ending strikes by giving pay rises (below inflation) will not cost anything like the increase in wage bill.

But, headlines!
