How my second comment seems to have disappeared. It had some relevance to this name in it, including it being on my radar (unlike my first comment) and yet there are loads of other posts (especially from one in particular that reads like a political party door knocker disciple) that are still here and have no mention of CPI whatsoever. Hey ho. GLA anyway.
LWHL - reporting or removing comments is cowardice. IMO. If Sav knocked my door i'd hit him with a shovel.
"How my second comment seems to have disappeared. It had some relevance to this name !"#
I have had 2 removed today without any notification? what are the rules which have been broken? Is someone reporting post they don't like.
Yes, me also. A good few of my posts gone. Maybe asking others to refrain from left wing political views is not allowed.
Citizen Smith strikes!!
" If Sav knocked my door i'd hit him with a shovel"
I hit him with my tax bill, be a lot worse.
I simply stated I’d filtered Savage and it was removed…. Friends in high places 😜
For clarity, I've reported nothing. I share the view shared by someone else (i forget who) that one can either read, or not read, another's comments. Not sure why any comments would have breached any rules because the discussion was around change in Gov fallout for CPI which I think we all agree there will be some impacts and some potentially significant ones too.
@broom, i made a similar post; & it was deleted
I have filtered Savage & 4(something) for extreme political views
"Savage_KeyboardR"
" I share the view shared by someone else (i forget who) that one can either read, or not read, another's comments."
For once I agree with you.
LWHL - I think you’ll find when a whole thread gets riddled with potentially libellous comments they just pull the whole thread - to be fair it must be a nightmare monitoring LSE at the moment
"I have filtered Savage & 4(something) for extreme political views"
Perfectly describes how as a nation, with CPI underpinning much service delivery, we all got into this sorry mess really as when many consciously choose to throw out reason, logic, balance aka centrism then yep, it tends to lead to chaos + destruction for the economy and society.
Perhaps we should get Nigel Farage onto this now a lot of us are being de-posted.
Nigel Farage... Classic Nige... he taketh no responsibility, just snipes from the side-lines and profiteers from the chaos he whips up. Odious fellow him. He'd have fit right in with the previous CPI CEO, in that he's only too happy to hype up selling something utterly worthless.
Posted a joke and started SKR up again.
Both of them in green boxes for me Terry.
Had enough of it. When i looked the idiots were posting their left wing dogma on several boards. One only been a member 2 days with 32 posts of the stuff.
I appreciate that, but do not agree with the policy of simply sweeping up a bunch of comments that include ones (such as mine for example) that were not legally contentious.
Especially when so many dreadful ones get a free pass. Not that I would censor them either - you cannot be a free speech absolutist (as I am) and pick and choose which bits of free speech I like. However tempting such powers might be :)
That is why I do not report even those who troll or libel me personally on these chat boards. Fortunately few in number, although I am big enough and certainly ugly enough to cope :) Hey ho. GLA.
Bullying 😂
Oh Savage, what a strange user name you picked. Should have been Gaslighter.
Typical champagne socialist, trying to demean others for not sharing your views, and then crying about "bullying" when you are called out. I always find when people make money and get a bit older they realise how much of their money is wasted by politicians on both sides. Your attention seeking, virtue signalling is quiet common in people that don't contribute any tax. Hope you make some money some day little boy so your views can get balanced out a bit x
Kipper, you are a fool. Libertarianism is not left wing HA! Furthermore, do not group me in with Savage.
HHH81 - as before you just continue on making wild assumptions. If you took a moment to think rather than descending to sweeping generalisations and dishing out of insults you might find life that bit happier.
We all pay lots of tax, me included, because the Tories have hiked the taxes right up to highest levels since 2nd world war so you've no one to blame for high taxes but yourself for having voted Tory.
Sav, so say Labour win and get elected, what would you propose they lower the taxes too?
4urelius - That's another one for your MP candidate to answer there... they'll be the ones with the parliamentary vote on the next budget after all. Sadly I don't have that power but... the high taxes are attributable to the Tory failure on delivering any meaningful economic growth. There's little growth because the largest piles of cash are sat in the bank accounts of less than 1% of the population, wealth redistribution should be a Labour priority.
Weird trend about taxes here. Highest taxes in years are here mainly because we have to repay a massive debt due to borrowing in COVID for furlough and all the other measures. Neither party would have faired well in the last parliament with Covid and a war on Ukraine. These things are beyond any party but I think there were major mistakes in the last parliament and the PR of these was really bad. It just looks old the country is going to change for change sake and it does not matter what people think. It will happen I believe.
Labour will, if history repeats itself, tax more the higher earners under the guise of redistribution and spend more on public services.
That latter will benefit CPI in my view so I do not think it will be bad for CPI. Whether it will be bad for the country I think we can save for other message boards ….
Something to laugh at ( some of you all may have already heard it )
"Our Tax System explanied
It goes like this:
10 men go out for a beer once a month.
The bill comes to £100.
They decide to split the bill in a similar way to tax bill.
First four men (poorest) pay 0
Fifth pays £1
Sixth pays £3
Seventh pays £7
Eight pays £12
Ninth pays £18
Tenth (richest) pays £59
The men are happy.
The pub owner decides to drop the price, their bill now comes to £80. What do they do to split the £20
fairly?
The publican suggests:
First four men (poorest) pay 0
Fifth goes from £1 to 0
Sixth goes from £3 to £2
Seventh goes from £7 to £5
Eight goes from £12 to £9
Ninth goes from £18 to 14
Tenth (richest) goes from £59 to £49
But the men aren’t happy….
The sixth man points out that he only saved £1 out of the £20 but the tenth man got £10. The seventh
man agrees, asking why he only got £2 when tenth man got £10. The first four men were also
indignant saying “we didn’t get anything at all….the new system exploits the poor!”
So the nine men surrounded the tenth man and beat him up. The next month the tenth man doesn’t
show.
When it comes to paying the bill they found they didn’t have enough money between them to even
pay for half the bill.
And that, the article concludes, is how our tax system works. The few who pay the highest taxes do
tend to benefit from tax reliefs and reductions. Attack them for being rich and the risk is they may take
their wealth elsewhere.
For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no
explanation is possible.

Kularatnam - Ah yes, that age old classic trickle down economics whereby the gold of the super rich falls like sacred long overdue rains upon the parched & unwashed skin of those 'beneath' them...
Things Can Only Get Better.
Or another way to look at this is the Latier curve. Once you go over the peak the more you increase tax the least you get.
Since we are at the highest tax rate for 70 years we are either at the top of the curve or falling down the too high tax side. I like a number of people I know retired early due to not being worth working because of tax and it has gone up a lot more since then.
This is a big problem for Labour as more and higher taxes less tax income but what do Labour stand for if it is not more spending and more tax take is out of the question so left with more borrowing but the the counties credit card has been maxed out. Then what is left is property and or wealth tax grab, then see the great exodus to be replaced by unskilled workers with no money to their name (bit like now but much worse).
As has been said after about 2 years of Labour the country will turn on them like they have the conservatives.
For the record we have at least 10 trillion of debt if you count the off balance sheet items, I once asked an economics professor about this as I thought this must be wrong, the answer was that it was probably more.
Here is an idea, instead of maximising the tax how about we maximise the average income, to do this we need to drop taxes off from the top of the curve, just a thought.
By the way it was not covid that caused the problem, it was the lockdowns done by the Conservatives with Labour shouting we should lock down sooner for longer. Great strategy, they knew the Conservatives would be in deep trouble trying to pay for this however this will soon be their problem.
