To be scared of Labours Land tax

[Dragongirl10]

Just read about this, Labour are proposing a Land Value Tax on any land owned, could cost thousands a year for anyone even with a small house, not just the rich....they have not publicised this at all.

People with modest homes could be forced to sell or go into debt, or be repossessed...

Thank you Leg0

I give it a year before the tories do it

Maybe less

What's scaring me are the deep Tory police cuts.

Page 86 of the Labour Manifesto under Local Communities;

" We will initiate a review into reforming council tax and business rates and consider new options such as a land value tax to ensure local government has sustainable funding for the long term."

this

Loads of people have already quoted that on this thread

Including me

They are going to look at other options SUCH AS LVT

It may well happen....once they have looked at options FOR EXAMPLE LVT

The Conservative campaigners already know that. They know it isn't a proposal, but people such as Leg0 and Dragongril keep pretending it is. Cementlady and twofor pretend they don't know what a proposal is.

It's just a foolish bit of false propaganda.

They will stop tomorrow evening, and totally lose interest.

Rufus - I posted it as PigletJohn didn't seem to be aware that it was in the manifesto

Sorry this

Ive seen the bloody thing so many times

I think piglet knows its there

If they had another alternative, why wouldn't they have named it? Oh let's put the one we don't really like, you know, the one our chancellor in waiting supports, yeah, let's throw them that bone so it gets pounced on by the press, right, but all our other really cool and fair ideas that won't fuck the economy, we'll keep those right up our sleeves.

You're on another planet, you corbynistas!

thank you Rufus

dan

For the eleventy billionth time

I do not support labour...i have voted tory in all but one election

I quite like the english language, i like the fact that you can use words like for example...and only have one example

That by using the words such as...that you dont have to come up with every other option that you may have thought of

Goodness the English language is a wonderful tool

Thats ok this

Dandan - exactly

Right this

I will have my wine back!!

Rufus -

I wouldnt mind

I always seem to find myself defending something I actually dont give a shit about

Too late, wine has clearly been scarfed.

I think they intend to do it and have no alternatives. The fact that McDonnell is such a fan of it says it all.

What does it matter if after their review they come up with a different form of tax like LVT but not LVT. Its a signal that they are open to taxing peoples wealth and redistributing wealth from people with homes to those without. Then can say it was in their manifesto and that they discussed in in the open on the BBC and SKY before the election.

Don't you think voters have a right to know the level of tax they are looking to raise against peoples homes every year, before we all vote?

I know dan

Its half bloody gone!!

walking

How much is the tory tax?

Off to work

I am not ignoring anyone

all round

Its nearly over...all bar the shouting

It looks like "strong and stable" didn't work

Got to try something else.

How about "Theresa May - keeping you safe by cutting the Police?"

How much is the tory tax?
The Tories aren't renationalising all the utilities, ending tuition fees and making everything free for everyone so they dont need to raise hundreds of Billions of pounds in tax.

They tried this in France and it left many people destitute.

Then you will be very pleased that it is not labour party policy, and is not a proposal in the referendum
