You say more likely which of course isn't will.
Not sure why you feel the need to doubt Torque yet again.
I'm sure if he was going to lie about his employment he's have followed Del Boys lead and claimed to be a pilot.

Absolute quality, this just gets better by the hour! LaughLaughLaughLaughLaugh

Just because I'm a scaffolder it's somehow very suspicious that I'm also able to spell? What a classic post from Dave yet again! We do have schools in Liverpool you know, Dave. The cleverest bloke I know is Saveloy Pete and he works in a chippy! LaughLaughLaughLaughLaugh

On the subject of my username (which seems to agitate a few on here so much) the reason for its selection is not because I'm a fan of some genocidal priest from hundreds of years ago, or an homage to any racehorse (although that was an excellent guess). I wanted to be Cardinal Biggles from a Monty Python sketch but didn't like the look without a space. This led me to Google some similar names and Torquemada took my eye - I had no idea who he was before Betfair. LaughLaughLaughLaugh

So Dave implies I'm lying about my mum in law's (not particularly unusual) pension because the figures were too accurate, implies I'm lying about my (not particularly unusual) job because my spelling is too good, and implies I'm a fan of a murderer because of my (not particularly unusual) forum username! Absolute quality.

I'll strike you a deal, Dave. I won't charge you rent for living in my pocket if you don't charge me for living in your head. LaughLaughLaughLaugh

Well it is important that people like me pay taxes so that people can get benefits.
And btw even in retirement I'm still having to fork out a few thousand each year from my pensions that I paid for albeit my employer contributed to my private pension.

Yes i agree about taxes that the NHS /SOCIAL CARE can keep some dignity and that those in need can apply for Social Security , as for your private pensions yes if you have paid in you should get what they promised you , but come on the whole financial system is bent we all know that.

At one time people looked to family when in trouble now they look to the government.
No more evident than in old people needing care. My mother was in that situation but my sister stepped up.
Can remember loads of families like that when I was young.
Not saying that I'm disagreeing with you but a major factor is the break downs within family units.
By:
anxious
When: 20 Oct 17 01:02
I agree the family breakdown is a massive problem , i do know family and friends that have had problems in very difficult situations regarding care for older and vulnerable relatives, the system as it is at the moment is in crisis for social care a better way needs to be found irrespective of political opinion

akabula you got tax relief on your pension contributions and tax relief on the growth on the fund.  So its reasonable for you to pay tax on the benefits, don't you think?

when families were bigger there was more chance of having a kid who could step in when requirde, or an in law.

if kids are just about managing then putting their job at risk to care for an elderly relative often leads to financial problems for them

there has to be a safety net, or else somewhere down the line the problems will be greater.

akabula I must have missed your post criticizing lfc1971 encouraging the self employed to avoid paying their tax. I'm sure if one of the more moderate posters on here had posted that you would have joined the rest of the right wing mob on here condemning them.

Been through the thread and cannot see that post.
Good though that you are paying attention.

Anyways what makes you so sure I read his post.
I tend not to read all posts if I come onto a thread late.
But I'm puzzled as to how it has upset you that I didn't respond to it.
I don't respond to every post even if I have read it.

If you are self employed the amount of tax you pay is voluntary , that is a very good thing,
Don't pay it if possible.

I just noticed that dave1357 having a dig at one of the nastier posters on here seemed to bother you and your right wing brethren on here far more than lfc1971 advising the self employed not to pay their tax. Thanks for pasting Donny Osmond.

I thought he was referring to NI on that post.

How is Torque (who is a m8 on here) one of the nastier posters.
Fife I don't know what your problem is but tbh I don't give a feck.
People like you seem incapable of debate without getting personal.
Massive chip on your shoulder?
I butted in with Dave because he also seems incapable of discussing anything without having a go at anyone who has a different point of view to him.

No offence meant to lfc but I sometimes give his posts a miss especially if he's posted 6 or 7 together.
I did read that post but given the subject was pensions I thought he was referring to NI contributions.

Fife thank you, as for the rest of your comments standing I genuinely couldn't give a feck.
I'm sure you are of a similar mind but I would add that if it bothers you that much why not just block me.

How, as you were wrong, does it prove the double standards of anyone.
Think it through you are accusing people of not responding correctly to something that wasn't actually said. ConfusedConfusedLaughLaugh
