I'd be a 'lefty' Tory, like Cameron is.

You seem to be more of a Monday Club Tory or UKIP - am I right?

I'm a pro-EU Tory. More right wing than Cameron but a bit less right wing that Thatcher, but only just about.

You asked me which lefties I am referring to.

Answer was very clear.


You gave me your opinion on what "the left" is.

Oh wow, I wouldn't describe a pro-EU Tory as being just a bit less right wing than Thatcher :wink:

I exemplified a category which encompasses your question.

If you're asking for specific people, your avatar and your posts would be a prime example.

My avatar? Do elaborate.


I'm not a lefty. I was merely pointing out that he had some very clear inconsistencies in his posts.

That's one of the only issues I am slightly more to the 'left' on.

Is the person in your avatar not Galloway the self-proclaimed liberal who loves civil rights except for those which go against the Qu'ran so he can be elected in his Islamic constituency?

From your posts, you do resemble someone who is further to the left than to the right.

No scrap that, these forums have a weird way of display posts and the ones you quoted came out as your own. Your avatar is too small too ;/
I'm kind of assuming that you're taking the piss with this...

It's more like 50 - 60%, definitely not as high as 97%.

Ah, I see.

I can see how you would confuse the two of them, they do look rather similar.

I've just read the gov.uk figures, it's 55%.
...80%? You realise that absolutely no one in their right minds is going to pay this? Either people leave the country or avoid tax altogether.
Can someone expalin this to me:

when you earn over, lets say 1 million and the tax rate is 50%,

Does that mean the person's salary will be 0.5million? Or is 50% taxed for earnings over a million? eg lets say a person earns 1.2 million, only the 0.2 is taxed at 50% and rest is taxed as usual, etc. Which one is correct? (Me and my friends were confused about this)
