Mosque in New York

Now let me get this straight!
Muslims around the world have burned the Stars and Stripe flag many times and stamped on the flag etc.
No one says anything.

Then some idiots decide to have a mosque NEAR ground zero and there is outcry of war if the Americans won't allow it.

The mosque is NO community centre and will be used as a fingers up to the American People and Christianity.
Muslim leaders are saying that it isn't on ground zero but 2 blocks away. This is not relevand it is within easy reach of a bomb or another plane etc.
Why have they decided to have it at this location? They are calling for the locals to believe in harmony etc, well it seems to me the Muslims are totally inssnesitive to do this.
The Mosque will only be used by men and Muslims, full stop. So isn't this against one of the free speech amendments and all are equal?

I tell you what let the Americans agree to it IF the saudis will alow a church to be built in Riyadh the last bastion of the Mutawah!
No way will this be allowed or agreed.
So its' all nonesense.
Did you know that the Quran states that a Muslim can lie to a non-muslim because (1) they fear for their life (2) they fear it threatens their religion.
Doesn't Obama know they are doing this all the time to him and the western world.

I would just say no but they could build one outside New York. How can they not agree??

Government to cut even more social benefits

Mr Osborne said: “We are going to reform out-of-work benefits so there's a strong incentive for people who can work get work.


What he hasn't said is how the government are going to create the business to offer jobs!
Unless the government invests in small to medium sized businesses, they will not be bale to create the jobs needed.
Again I re-iterate, there will be more house repossessions and more poverty.


If a family have been on the benefits for say 10 years how do you motivate them to go to work?
all they do is turn to stealing etc so theft will rise.

Along the grapevine

Abu Dhabi only has about 30 years left of oil!
Could account for their programme of Nuclear power stations is progressing fast and that they are nurturing Tourism.

1 in 5 tax records may be incorrect!

We have all known for years that taxation for individuals has been wrong.
It has taken numerous years now for the taxman to find out.

If it means that the government owes us, then I doubt if we will hear much more. However, bearing in mind that they have realized 6 million are paying too little and 4million are paying too much.

The question is:
How can the taxman get their own calculations wrong?
Why do we have to pay back taxes, for their mistake.
Courts would generally favour the individual if taken to court by a corporation.
Why isn't someone in the Inland Revenue held accountable and sacked?

Giving the power back to the people!

The new government keeps selling this to the voters.
What I want to understand that apart from creating bedlum, what is this to achieve.
The British people want a leader, who is accountable, who is a statesman, who makes decisions and puts them into action.

How can they give it to the people? is everything to be done by referendum?

In my view, it just isn't practical.

In fact it sounds like they are offloading the monkey!!!

How stupid is the Inland Revenue and the media?

In the press today the Inland Revenue has undercharged 6 million people and overcharged 4mio.
Then they say that the net effect is only STG 200 million.
No wonder they are useless.

If 6 million people owe the Inland Revenue STG 1400 each on average
And 4 million people will received STG 400 each on average to me
that equates to STG 6 billion in the bank!!

1. they make a huge mistake
2. no one has any recourse when they want it back
3. their computers systems are completely useless
4. their I.T. didn't check the calculations correctly.
5. average I.T. pay is about STG 17k
6. pay peanuts you get monkeys!!!

If this was a corporate they would not be able to get their money back if it was their mistake so why does the tax man???

Fined for stepping out of line

I was speaking to a local lady when checking in at Dubai Airport and we was talking about the high cost of living in the UAE and the taxes coming on board with no announcement.

This lady was fined (unknown to her as a new law) last week for crossing the road in Dubai airport in the wrong place.
Her fine was AED 250 or STG43.

What's the betting it will happen in the UK?
