Foster14 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Shouldn’t be free though (for the middle class types)That’s just mental. We (well most of us) live in a country where a couple earning £40k each still get full child benefit, over a grand a year for the first child. Not sure a baby box being free to everyone is that big a deal... Link to comment

Ke1t Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The walk out is the absolute minimum Scottish MPs can do, short of doing nothing at all. If I'd voted for someone to represent my interests, and that person wasn't being allowed to represent those interests, I'd demand some form of action of that person. A walk out is about 1 on a scale of 1 - 100 in terms of response to having your voice silenced. On the other hand, Scotland voted to have an English overlord, so there's very little point complaining about it when that English overlord behaves like an English overlord. If the Scots had had the minimum of bollocks they'd be a Free and Independent country right now, with Brexit something to laugh at the English over. Instead, you'll do as your fucking told. 3 1 Link to comment

Pash Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I would happily pay another £20 a month in tax to improve education, health and infrastructure etc in Scotland. People who greet that their tax is going up 2p a year need to get a grip. Edit: Terribly written Link to comment

People that greet that their tax is going to go up 2p a month need to get a grip.In the last few years I've voted multiple times to raise our taxes. We still have a public library, community centre, and football pitches, to name a few, because the people round here understand the value of these things to the local community. We're a blue district, though. Red areas tend to hoard their money, because they're selfish cunts. 1 1 Link to comment

mcdougall(4) Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I'd suggest that means-testing the baby-box will be more costly than providing it for the people who do not need it.I suspect that means testing is way easier these days than in the past.Do you receive benefits tickDo you receive tax credits tick Do you live in an area of depravation (see simd) tick Link to comment

Pubes Macdonald Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 For wanting a gritbox as close to me as my neighbours who I pay as much in council tax as? They put one in, so I was obviously rightWhat a fucking tosser you are.Tory cunt. Link to comment

You're a self-centred, selfish prick. 1 1 Link to comment

Ohjimmyjimmy Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 THAT'S a tired argument "Yeah but we spend more on this.." Let's discuss that in the relevant thread then I'm talking about this, hereThe baby box scheme costs £8.8m per year to administer. For each taxpayer in Scotland (never mind UK) a total of 2.52 million taxpayers so a cost of £3.49 per taxpayer. The annual expenditure for Scotland is around £12,800 per person - so were talking about 0.03% of the average annual expenditure (even less for a super duper taxpayer like you). Now, the only thing I cant work out with my calculator here is why are you such a PRICK? 1 Link to comment

They put one in, so I was obviously right You keep going on about you paying more tax than they do south of the border. Newcastle pays 200 quid a year more than you do in council taxManchester pays 100 quid a year moreLiverpool, 300 moreEssex, 800 moreCardiff, 300 moreLeeds, 300 moreChelsea, 200 more In fact the only place I can see in England and Wales that pays the same council tax as you is Portsmouth. Time you changed the record min. 1 Link to comment
Reed or deed Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Where things are that extreme the kids should be taken off the scum bagsIf the "parents" are that scummy do you really think they will use all of the stuff for the poor baby's well being or sell it all for smack? You've only got this attitude now cos you were swapped for a bag of heroin by your parents. Link to comment
spamspamspam Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I am £321 a month council tax currently. I have a grit box at the end of my road. I've never used it. Stupid cunt at the end of the road grits it. I don't thank him for it. Are you living in a castle? Link to comment

caledonia Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The baby boxes are a disgrace CHOCK full of stuff way beyond the basic requirement and is ridiculous Is it REALLY that wrong to think people that can't afford babies shouldn't have them? And damn right I took one I paid for them didn't I? I even called up the helpdesk as something was missing and got it sent out The fanny pad was supposed to be for the woman Link to comment

V for Vendetta Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Haha not even going to pretend I know what you're on about What I DO know is if I am paying more tax here than I would be in England then the powers in power up here aren't for me So, I'll use them to get independence then drop them instantlyIf only more people thought that way tbh. Most people who wouldn't go for independence bang on about not wanting SNP running the country etc etc. But personally i'm pretty sure if we became independent then the SNP would be quickly sidelined. And the opportunities for the other parties (free of Westminster political needs) would be quite substantial. Not sure who I'd vote for at that point but I quite like that you can see yourself voting for full independence then swinging away from the SNP to whatever works for you. Link to comment
