I guess then that my business - is everybody's else's business - considering that we have never paid council tax.

[gizmo]

correct... he pays his way rather than letting the rest of shell out for him...

[Jock Strap]

considering that we have never paid council tax.

Indeed hilarious. So you expect someone else to invest their wealth while you expect others to pay your way?

I know it's terrible why should you pay for the likes of me. I would stop paying on the grounds of unfairness - and quote my name. Do you really believe that my refusal to pay - has led to any personal gain - far from it. I don't own anything - no house nor car - no phone - no furniture - no jewellery - no watch. The government have taken over our collection of CD's . I am bankrupt blacklisted - the sheriff officers are never away from my door. No believe you me - it would have been easier to pay the tax. Only one things stands in the way - I have been fined thousands of pounds (not sure how much - they can't tell me either )- for refusing to register for the poll tax. My concern is that - if a Government office fines you - you should have the right to know - how much you've been fined. I declared war on a system - that creates untold suffering and misery to the poor.
You know I'm tired now - it's been a long war.

How did you manage to hang on to the computer (or for that matter, with no phone, how do you get internet access)?

Would you check to see if the wounds on my hands are real?.

The back of him - and all the other absentee landlords .

Crap ionns crap.
The man owns a large amount of land down here and pays 2 full time workers year in year out and has done from day 1, apart from when it was 3.
He also gives work to other locals, be it trade or farming etc, so whether he is here a lot or not he still puts more into the community than 90% of locals do, including you and me. I bet you dont even know how many times a year he is actually down at the farm, well guess what, I could probably tell you, but im not going too.

Cheers!

God sake man. There was a relevance. Does that mean that on my Duk Dup Bup thread I'm only allowed to talk about Korean food? You're picking the arse out of it now. I wonder if there is any other forum in the world that is as anal as this one is for keeping to the thread. Start a new thread out of this, and see what everyone else thinks.

I'm not responsible for what others choose to post. However I do feel obliged to answer other posts - out of common courtesy.
The council tax question - was flagged up by another poster.
Discussions anywhere tend to have a developmental aspect to them. I feel you insist on the impracticality of imposing strict guidelines - these serve only to stifle the flow of free thought. The thread was economic in nature - and as such - Gizmo - WCI - Jock Strap - Mixmax - had a legitimate reason for mentioning tax. I for one enjoy diversity. Are you picking on me .


Ninja the quote you used was an earlier post - made when I was attempting to establish - wither Paul McCartney was an absentee landlord - because that was the way it looked. Since then it has been established - that he has given to a number of good causes - and in essence - is an employer in Kintyre. Taken out of context. On yur bike son .

So out of common courtesy are you going to answer the question posed by WC1. ?

[ionnsaigh]

bill, common courtesy is a shared obligation by two - or more parties. I detected no courtesy - in someone questioning the degree of my suffering. When in actual fact - even to the impartial reader - my suffering must appear - at least - significant.

Taking away the usual waffle waffle waffle - waffle waffle waffle waffle - waffle waffle waffle waffle waffle - waffle waffle waffle - waffle waffle waffle-.......I take that as a NO !

No wonder you have big blocks of chips on your shoulders! You can't expect sympathy for such arrogance? Why shouldn't you pay Poll Tax?

So you are moaning about Absentee Landlords not paying their way when in fact you are not prepared to pay your way? How ridiculous.

The Poll Tax was a tax were - the poor paid more - and the rich paid less. To me and many others - this represented an attack on the poor. An earlier post suggested - that I had made personal gain by refusing to pay. Whereas in reality - I have suffered financial hardship. By replying - I simply state facts - how unfortunate that you perceive this as sympathy seeking. As far as arrogance is concerned - again you wrongly attribute my defiance - as something other.
As far as paying my way is concerned - you can't get blood from a stone.
