No I am talking about divs paid in German, French equity holding. The treaty allowed for the 15% credit to the fund up from 85 to 100%, when they cut the 10% on UK Equity they lost this aswell. The industry that boomed from it was the Stock lending industry where the funds lent to recover yield and also lost dividend %.

To answer the title of the thread:

They don't have a social policy, as "there's no such thing as society."
Leave it to the all-knowing market...

Their economic policy can be succinctly described as "trickle up", although it's more like a flood than a trickle.

I'm guessing the "Cambridge" part of the moniker refers to visiting the town with a dog-on-a-rope to drink cider next to a cashpoint. I really hope he's not a student.

Ad hominem...if you know what that means (?), you'll know it also means your debating skills need some work.

It's also boring, a bit like your moniker...zzzz!

Year 1
Labour policy - tax and spend
Conservative opposition policy - you are spending too much

Year 5
Labour policy - tax more spend even more
Conservative opposition policy - your spending is getting out of control

Year 10
Labour policy - tax more - spend much much more - £100b deficit
Conservative opposition policy - we are heading for national bankruptcy

Year 15
Labour policy - whoops
Conservative opposition policy - thanks for the mess

Year 16
Conservative policy - deficit reduction
Labour opposition policy - we have to start spending more

Another famous bit of leftwing spin. Not actually what Thatcher said, though. That speech was about people taking personal responsibility for their actions rather than always thinkin Society will bail me out...and what exactly is wrong with that?

It is a bitter pill to swallow for the Lefties but everything the Tory eurosceptics said 20+ years ago has happened pretty much exactly as they forecast. Michael Portillo in particular was very prescient but was derided at the time.

Selective memory there.
'Lefties' were saying twenty odd years ago that the eu was not right for Britain.
That it would be a club dominated by the interests of big business and capital.
And destined for inequalities and social breakdown.

Portillo is highly regarded, the Labour retard that replaced him in 1997 still doesn't know his arse from his elbow.

Best Defence secretary Britain's had in a long time. Would have made a good party leader but it wasn't to be, 1997 and 2001 would have been a fair bit closer had he been at the helm.
