This is such a monstrous statistic that, whilst it is said to be true, it is only generally used to make the proles think that their betters are paying for them.

The fact is that this equally mundane statistic is also allegedly true, but almost never sees the light of day: the middle class passes over 40% of the entire tax receipts.

By sheer coincidence :roll: , income tax raises precisely 27% of the entire tax receipts, therefore Russ, the Toryboy fan of the wealthy, is telling us the top 1% of the nation's earners contribute 7% of the total tax take through income tax - well whoopie-fu'cking-doo.

You're clearly a simple soul at heart Russ, I should be obliged if you would do us the courtesy of not peddling misleading bullshit, wrapped in a meaningless truth, on behalf of those whose wealth you appear to be in thrall of.

M'kay?

We can all agree that Boris Johnson is a twunt.

If you are stuck in an Iranian jail, do not contact the british foreign office.

You've got to love GOP, their candidate for the Senate, ex-Judge Roy Moore, stands accused by approx 30 young ladies & specifically 4 who have gone on the record publicly that he sexually assaulted them when they were minors (one of the 4 was 14) but the GOP in Alabama are standing by their man despite nationally the leadership wanting him shitcanned.

More bizarrely a survey in which 58% described themselves as "evangelical christians" had an alarming 28% saying the accusations would make them more likely to vote for him, whilst 33% said it would make no difference to their vote.

Moore was a judge and in a case in 2002 he gave custody of 3 children to the father who had molested them all rather than to the mother who had discovered she rather fancied a bit of rugmunching. Effectively a homosexual relationship was worse than a child abusing relationship for the kids.
“The effect of such a lifestyle upon children must not be ignored, and the lifestyle should never be tolerated,” Mr Moore wrote in a 2002. “The common law designates homosexuality as an inherent evil, and if a person openly engages in such a practice, that fact alone would render him or her an unfit parent.”
Having enjoyed America on several occasions and met really decent people, I find it strange to process thinking like that - being gay is worse than child abuse - I can think of no reason they should think this way other than their exposure to ultra-conservative evangelical Christian influence.

Clearly, an insidious influence if it produces such warped thinking. I do wonder what Jesus of Nazareth might make of it were he alive today .............. then again he'd probably be all for it, given he advocates stoning weemin for wearing trousers. I can't help thinking he had envisaged fat birds in leggings or shell suits, but even that is a tad harsh in my opinion. Then again, I'm not the Messiah.
“Take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus,” Alabama State Auditor Jim Ziegler told The Washington Examiner. “There's just nothing immoral or illegal here. Maybe just a little bit unusual.”

She was accused of training journalists in Iran
She said she was visiting relatives with her daughter
Boris said she was training journalists
Boris then said she was definitely not training journalists


The consensus is that it's a BS crime and should be released
She is unlikely to bring her daughter to potentially get arrested
She has dual citizenship with Britain and Iran so would know the dangers
Boris is a waankstain

Makes it even trickier then.

Sounds to me that the FCO don't really believe her, but the ends justify the means.

Unfortunately, at this level, she becomes a political football.

With British citizenship she is still allowed to have full diplomatic assistance and not have the foreign minister make her situation worse and more dangerous. This was more bungling by Boris, he clearly didn't understand the charge.

Yip, but Iran can basically ignore the FCO on the basis that she is one of their citizens.
