...anyone who thinks that the EU financial transactions tax is a good idea for this country is stark raving bonkers.
As the Eurozone moans and groans under a Himalayan-size debt mountain, Brussels has come up with a wheeze to avert disaster – a tax on all financial transactions across the EU.Where would the tax hit hardest? In Europe’s leading financial centre – the capital of our country

Typical socialist trick - use a nice sounding euphemism for a dirty underhand trick. Socialist only know how to tax and spend other peoples money, and lie about their intentions in the process. Robin Hood tax, what a joke - Dracula tax more like.
ReplyDeleteIndeed JiC which makes it more astonishing that the Daily Mirror has an article which criticises the measure, has a degree of sympathy with bankers and has a go at the EU
ReplyDeleteTBF, I have no sympathy for bankers - they are part of the parasitical class that is destroying our civilisation. But this tax is purporting to do something that it clearly cannot do. In the end, I understand that this money will go to the EU in some form. Which means it will become independent of funding from Nation states. And effectively completes the EU plan for anti-democratic dictatorship.
ReplyDeleteAs to why the Mirror are taking up arms against this, as a socialist organ, I suspect the worst.
In earler times, this tax would be treated as a declaration of war.
