Professor Green has a whine about the mansion tax

[likesfish]

I'm fucked off with rich cunts living in luxury justifying their fortunes by banging on about how extra 'hard' they've worked to 'earn' their fortune. Try being a cleaner getting up at 5am six days a week on minimum wage you lazy, spoilt, arrogant shitehawks.

Tbf I do 5 days cleaning start at 6am tbf dont work very hard though
Fuck it your rich I get extra tax is a pain whine down the pub/wine bar/ private members club put it in print your a wanker at least he isnt getting paid for this whine.

Whine bar, surely?

 

[ska invita]

tbh as a priority id much rather they just properly collected the tax from the tax dodgers and closed off the loopholes

The irony is that the mansion tax pays for itself via house price rises. You can wait until you (or your inheritors) sell the house and then just pay the tax with the accumulated rise in value.

It's almost as if some of these super-talented millionaires who definitely deserve their nauseatingly disproportionate wealth aren't even particularly bright.

Or as if they are actually incredibly greedy and care more about wealth accumulation than social need.

I have just remembered that a few weeks back someone flyered our street with a print out (screenshot) of a spat that PG was having with an estate agent on twitter. I looked at it and thought if PG is the one who put that through our doors he must think we care what he thinks or that we all should know what he thinks. There was no message, no, 'have a look at this' or whatever...

while ex-popstar Myleene Klass embarrassed Ed Miliband in a live TV debate

I think she embarrassed herself more than anything else.

 

[J Ed]

Poor baby, he will have to do a few more adverts where he stands on top of cars drinking lucozade. It's a hard life for some.

I hadn't heard of him till ten minutes ago but have now done enough research to decide that he's indisputably a fucking cock.

This mansion tax has been a goldmine for gathering names for The List. The whiners have really come out in force.

Mandelson was snivelling about it today too. Mind, I imagine he's already on the list, and has been there some time.

 

[kabbes]

Mandelson is on the list in the same way the a fish is in water.

some fish out of water recently

Does he say why he thinks rent caps are a bad idea as well?

Motherfucker probably owns some buy-to-lets.

His point about people living in houses that have increased dramatically in value is a fair one, but I think that's not going to be more than a small number of people.

 

[8115]

Motherfucker probably owns some buy-to-lets.

Wait, is he against housing benefit caps or rent caps?

The house that PG lives in has dramactically increased in value since he bought it and spent a fuckton of money on it. Because he has the money to do that.

 

[maomao]

Against rent caps apparently.

 

[ViolentPanda]

I think she embarrassed herself more than anything else.

She let her public down, she let Ed Miliband down, but most of all she let herself down.

 

[DaveCinzano]

It's almost as if he isn't a real professor.

Has anybody got the keys to the 2015 festive forum? We need to go get the plaque for the Post Of The Year engraved.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Wait, is he against housing benefit caps or rent caps?

Probably pro-benefit cap, anti-rent cap because increasing rents exponentially while incomes stagnate or decline is a great recipe for an economic boom.

well they've got lucky and could always sell some extra equity in their newly valuable property to cover the cost of the tax

 

[8115]

well they've got lucky and could always sell some extra equity in their newly valuable property to cover the cost of the tax

What, to a trustworthy equity release company?

Are Labour genuinely proposing rent caps?

 

[8ball]

There are measures in there that allow old people who have lived in places for a long time to delay paying the tax until they kick it and the place is sold.

 

[8115]

What kind of socialist madness is this?

 

[Pickman's model]

well they've got lucky and could always sell some extra equity in their newly valuable property to cover the cost of the tax

so you think people who are lucky in london should sell some equity in their houses but don't think a scottish laird living in a proper mansion should pay towards this: certainly not seen any suggestions from you about widening its effect across the country.

 

[ddraig]

not as if he couldn't mime to a DAT for 20mins at some corporate event or a sweet 16 thing to cover it either

 

[Dogsauce]

Are Labour genuinely proposing rent caps?

As if.

 

[articul8]

they are proposing regulating rent increases, not the same as proper rent controls.

 

[articul8]

so you think people who are lucky in london should sell some equity in their houses but don't think a scottish laird living in a proper mansion should pay towards this: certainly not seen any suggestions from you about widening its effect across the country.

Where have I said I think people living in mansions outside of London should be exempted?
