2/2 I condemn them because they commit and support Genocide not because they are jews. Just as I condemn the people in this and other countries for their support of this genocide, not because they belong to a party or a religion, but because they support and nourish this genocide. Bastards!

1/2 I could not care less about anybody's religious believes, BUT I take great exception to anybody's use of their believes and their scripture to justify any actions - let alone genocide. Israel is committing genocide and many of its inhabitants support this and have blood on their hands.

I don’t know how coldly it has been received in general. I have, I think been positive to it. Regardless - keep going! You know what it is worth and you know why you do it - stuff the rest!

Does the idiot know how much 21,000,000 Millions is? It is 21,000,000,000,000. Not bad on a planet with a population of 8,062,000,000. I do wonder where the rest came from though? And have all other countries become uninhibited? Just asking, he must know as he is such a genius...

Why limit it to suicide bombers - why not have death penalty for all suicide?

4/4 I think there should be an amount deemed the minimum one needs to have a "reasonable" standard of living. Money earned below this should not be taxed regardless of whether you work or not. Above this there should be a progressive tax system regardless of source of income. Feel free to disagree 😀

3/4 I have no problem with me paying tax. I would not even have a problem if it was a cap on how much one could have in ISA's providing tax free income. It prolongs the privilege of having had a good job and income into retirement age.

2/4 I have [roughly] 1/2 a UK state pension & 1/2 a Norwegian State pension. In addition I have some income from writing a weekly bridge column & a little private pension. I have savings providing income. Some of them in so called ISA's providing tax free income and some that don't.

1/4 Which is to say that what I get in Pensions should be exempt. What if I have managed to save up a private pension fund of £1M and that gives me an income of lets say £50,000 should this be tax free? Or only what I get in state pensions?
comment in response to

Why should I be exempt for tax because I'm retired? Any investment, property, saving or activities I might have that is creating income should be taxed as they are for non retired. You COULD argue that what I get as pensions should not count towards what is taxable income.
