I'm always in favour of tax cuts. However, subsidies are present all over the place and in all kinds of facets of life.
Subsidy doesn't imply control.
For example, I'm not sure that the average taxpayer expects to control how day care centres work when he doesn't have kids to send to one, but he still pays.
Oh dear, another pompous prig sails into sight.
Your freedom to use oxygen that could better have been used on raising whelks is something that causes me concern.
You're saying that you're happy to encourage person A to rape & murder because person B can get away with rape & murder, that theft should not be punished unless all theft can be punished. I don't accept that that view is either valid or moral.
It's normally only asked where there is any question. Are you seriously questioning it - or have you not even bothered to Google?
Nonsense. The busses and POs are both run by private companies, and where I live we don't have either.
The message from John Cartmell contains these words:
Sanctimonious bullshit. They don't hunt round my way so foxes, like other vermin, are shot.
Define 'vermin' without recourse to entirely subjective* statements.
*Else the fox's view of you as 'vermin' is just as valid and justification for you being shot out of hand.
That's good because that is not what I was saying at all.
It's no good trying to move things out of a very specific context and example into something totally different and unrelated.
The point was very specifically about a poor piece of legislation that was not enacted for the reasons claimed and which is fundamentally broken. That's it. Nothing more.
As usual you don't want to look at the consequencies of your logic.
No. As usual, you want to take the discussion into an unrelated and meaningless area that has nothing to do with the specifics of the original point.
Blah blah blah.
Blah blah blah.
Blah blah blah.
Blah blah blah.
Blah blah blah.
Blah blah blah.
Blah blah blah.
Blah blah blah.
And rural taxpayers subsides all these deary suburbanites who come out and gawp at the fields, and trees and the ruddy wildlife that WE have to keep out of the crops and the fields and the gardens so that we can actually have a countryside for someone to enjoy.
We DON'T have any buses and precious few post offices, and the ones we do have run at a profit or vanish.
"Vermin" is a legal definition in this case. Look it up yourself.
