You can get 12/1 on Labour, that's most seats, not overall majority - fill yer boots.

The guy never asks me to stop replying to him or indicates a problem.....just sends me this. Weird. Edited by Stirlingsays (18 Nov 2019 5.04pm) Ha ha

Edited by Stirlingsays (18 Nov 2019 5.04pm) I'm sure the police have better things to do, could this not have been settled by some other means? I say this to no one in particular as I don't know or care what the issue was or who is it fault. Edited by Badger11 (18 Nov 2019 5.13pm)

There's been no private communication other than the email he sent. Maybe there's been a rather large consumption of some mind altering substance.

Back on topic Business rates seems to be back on the agenda for the 2 main parties. Most people think they are too high and I tend to agree. As the revenue goes to the local councils I would allow them to adjust the tax within a set of parameters. Some businesses contribute to the community and local economy and others "take away" (geddit). So I would have no problem with a council putting more rates on bookies and "take aways" whilst reducing the tax for other local shops etc. The key thing I would tell the councils is that it has to be tax revenue neutral so if you drop it for some others have to pay more. After that it's up to the voters if they like what the council does. The alternative is something radical like a local sales tax although I am not sure of the pros and cons of that. Anyway neither Labour or the Tories seem to have a plan beyond the vague promise that they will look at it which I think they have now said for a number of elections. Surely you mean, 'take out'.
