I would imagine you'd be looking at a 1 bedroom flat for that sort of money in Trendy East London, and even that might be a struggle.
Theresa May's Conservatives
Jeremy Corbyn's Labour
Tim Farron's Liberal Democrats
Paul Nuttall's UKIP
2 people's Greens
Nicholas Durgeon's Scottish Nationalists
Satan's Sinn Fein
Dr Ian Paisley's DUP
Some other bunch of nonces
I'm foreign, but I wish I were an Englishman

£1200 pcm rent? Lololol
I rent a one bed for £360 a week. You might be able to get something in Cannng Town. Or house share.

Prices are lower when you get outside core 'Citizen of the World' territory, as well.
The point, however, is that the better off aren't actually anywhere near as better off as the headline gross figures suggest. Where people focus on headline figures, they're basically misleading people (intentionally or otherwise) on what's actually happening when everything washes through the system. It's the same thing as I highlighted re public sector pay. Ignoring tax changes and increases in disposable income is stupid - you have to look properly at it.
Still, that wouldn't appeal to 1980s style CLASS WARFARE politics.
Feeling like pizza tonight. Anyone else?
If you can't cope with political chat, Pepe, mate, then you'll find you're in the wrong thread.
This is not the Late Night thread?
That family on seventy grand probably don't care when they get to live in such a vibrant area.
I'm not paying an extra £300 a month just for the privilege of a ten minute walk to work. I hate this place.
Steady on, racist.
Sounds like he's having an existential crisis.
He is an existential crisis.
That's probably the most interesting thing he's ever said.
Farron.
He's absolutely right, too.
GS calling a Liberal Democrat cool. That's one for the record books.Farron.
He's absolutely right, too.
If you'd given me that quote blind and asked me to suggest an author, I'd have said Farage (or Nuttall with the election context).
Farron is indeed right, having identified the problem with himself very well. A commitment to extreme credulity ought to be frowned upon by the electorate.
If anyone of any religion wore it on their sleeve and then refused to say that homsexuals aren't bad would be rounded on. Then you've got the fact you're the leader of the shit party that no-one on any side likes which makes it easier.
But yeah, everyones persecuting Christianity. Can't even say Merry Christmas anymore. Disgusting.
Nobody other than Vince Cable wanted the LibDem job. LOL.
Vince Cable (i.e. Labour facing) is an awful choice. They needed an orange booker who could gather centrist, own brand balsamic vinegar votes.
She'll have a shadow cabinet position by tomorrow morning.
Genuinely one of the dumbest pieces of writing I've ever seen. What a mongtard.
She seems quite ubiquitous these days, despite 1) having only really appeared last year; and 2) being a rubbish writer with nothing interesting to say, so there is definitely some industrial strength poshness and connections behind it all.
I've not read it but we absolutely should.
I don't think she does. A good friend of mine knows her.
Fuck this I'm voting Tory again.
Anything you have will be forked over in maintenance payments long before your death anyway.
Good at least it won't go to scrounging reprobates like you.
Rumble her lad. Take her place.
Someone should 'fully cost' that idea. It'd probably raise about 43p, but give rise to a deep abyss of new avoidance outrage. Maybe that's enough.
I've no idea why the state has any claim on it at all. It's mostly been taxed multiple times previously (in the accumulation), if everyone wasn't so atomised you'd just give it away whilst you were alive anyway, but then the state likes to get its filthy mitts on that as well where it can.
There's obviously the fact that all serious estates fall entirely out of the system anyway, so merely changing the rate is only going to fuck Joe Simpleton more anyway (always the most efficient way to raise tax revenue).
Beyond the wider lol point, the 'small allowance for objects of sentimental value' got me. How would you even begin to manage this sort of shit?
You'd just phase it over time. State issue everything, no possessions for anyone. Welcome to utopia.
There was another piece today about the Financial Transaction Tax.
She's clearly an idiot. You'd hope she's just trying to provoke peopler rather than actually believing it's a good idea, because if she does then lol.
Inheritance tax is a complete waste of time as it is. The assets have already had tax levied on them at purchase. It only brings in about £5bn a year as well, which wouldn't even be enough to buy off the public sector unions. The problem is that it represents a perceived moral good, rather than any serious fiscal benefit to the treasury. Nobody should care about IHT if they're serious about fiscal prudence.
Wor Jez with another tour de force on 'ameliorating' historical student debt.
£100bn.
Wonder how much of that a 100% IHT rate would bring in.
What the fuck is "Wor Jez"? Literally no-one else has ever used that phrase.
Man of the people.
We could use "the absolute boy", but that would be nauseating and cultist.
I noticed a few people realising he was either stupid or dishonest over the weekend when he was talking crap about the European Union, so maybe now people take him 'seriously' they might also realise what he's about.
The cultists are too invested for that.
Call him wor Jez again
I prefer his full title of the terrorist sympathiser Jeremy Corbyn, which makes people who vote for his party complicit in said sympathising.
Right now I just need a reference to Labour voters simply not knowing what's good for them and I'll have my bingo card filled out.

Oh oh.
God knows how people keep making these comparisons. It's like equating heating your home with Qatari gas to being that bloke who wanted to marry Rose West.
Because they're morons, evidently. There's no other sustainable explanation.
We should privatise education to make sure this cant happen again. Never, never, never.
Then one day we can all grow up to be unemployed and never leave home. Absolute Nirvana.
Why would privately educated people be doing that?
