We must be real good looking guys Malc, seems we're always being screwed.

I am not sure just how well thought through this is……..well apart from a bit of spin doctoring. Self-funded traffic wardens……… and yes we all know where rich pickings will be for the first week or two then it will take financial masochists to keep parking there………if these wardens do a good job will they make themselves redundant? The only possible way NCC can pay 26 new positions when they have cut over 1000 due to cost cutting is to find a new form of income to cover salaries. In other words parking fees in the South East. BTW, there was a very interesting admission the other night at the Area Meeting, these new NCC wardens will only be able to ticket transgressions on double yellows…………so all of the other parking problems the cops do have authority to take action against these wardens can't target. Course that might explain the road variance orders we saw last year in the News Post Leader. More flipping stealth taxes! Just had this land in my inbox.......................... Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table At which he's fed. Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts Anyway! Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he Tries to think. Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways To tax his ass. Tax all he has Then let him know That you won't be done Till he has no dough. When he screams and hollers; Then tax him some more, Tax him till He's good and sore. Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in Which he's laid. When he's gone, Do not relax, It's time to apply The inheritance tax. Accounts Receivable Tax Airline surcharge tax Airline Fuel Tax Airport Maintenance Tax Building Permit Tax Cigarette Tax Corporate Income Tax Goods and Services Tax (GST) Death Tax Driving Permit Tax Environmental Tax (Fee) Excise Taxes Income Tax Fishing License Tax Food License Tax Petrol Tax (too much per litre) Gross Receipts Tax Health Tax Inheritance Tax Interest Tax Heating Tax Lighting Tax Cooking Tax Liquor Tax Luxury Taxes Marriage License Tax Medicare Tax Mortgage Tax and his pension Personal Income Tax Property Tax Poverty Tax Prescription Drug Tax Real Estate Tax Recreational Vehicle Tax Retail Sales Tax Service Charge Tax School Tax & Tax what he buys and what he sells Telephone Tax Vehicle License Registration Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Water Tax Workers Compensation Tax Tax (VAT) on Tax. And Now they want a blooming Carbon Tax! STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago... & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middle class, a huge manufacturing base, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids. What in the Hell happened? Could it be the lying parasitic politicians wasting our money? Oh, and don't forget the relatively new bank charges. And we all know what we think of Bankers.

Rio Tinto had no intention of scuttling back to wherever they came from! Five year ago they bought Alcan with the sole intention of closing it down to 'Do away with a competitor' The then government stepped in offering a deal to keep it open for five year in the hope that Rio Tinto would see the error of their ways. Obviously Rio Tinto GRABBED the chance of FREE money and signed the five year deal! So five years later they are closing the plant. SURPRISE SURPRISE. It's what they intended anyway so why the furore now. Everybody knew it was happening five year ago! And as for the MP's(MUPPETS) who tried the 'I'll fight to keep it open!' brigade, vote seeking bar stewards they knew it was happening no matter what, the self fornicating mxxxxxxxxxxs !
