mickyb Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 What I find a little odd is that one man can own 22 houses and be causing overcrowding in cities , yet thousands (??) can head to the cities ( hazarding a guess , as is the fashion ) and no problems ?! I saw an article with the heat cameras picking out garden sheds and other inadequate shanty housing . Where are these people going to live ? Loadsaroom !

paulv Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 A bit more on the 'no more seats available' story... http://www.buzzfeed.com/jimwaterson/no-immigrants-havent-booked-up-all-the-flights-from-bulgaria and lo and behold none of the major coach companies operate coach services to the UK from Bulgaria or Romania...

Guest spreadingwings Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I read a comment somewhere joking about the possibility of the island starting to sink, with so many people living on it. Joke or not, I wonder what the actual weight would be where the island couldn't sustain the combined building+human+civilization weight on it any longer.

We can tax people according to their weight,raise more taxes,heavier people take up more personal space,they aren't environmentally friendly,they cause vehicles to use more fuel,thereby damaging the ozone layer,they cause more wear and tear on roads,pavements and public seating too,taxing/charging people according to weight,its all the rage in forward thinking aviation circles apparently...

But if you let a bit of air out of their tyres they won't cause as much wear and tear on the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More fuel usage tho!,its a no win situation,we'll just have to tax everyone extra for being taller or shorter than 5ft 9 or 5ft 4 in the case of women,they'd deserve it just for not being "normal" anyway....

Toolbox Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I wouldn't have thought there was much left to tax after Gordon the goffer was kicked out, he managed to introduce more ways to tax folk than any other chancellor in history........most of them sneaky stealth tax's too.....I could put a list up here, but it would be to depressing at the start of a new year :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
