    Ah, I see, you thought Redstar is a Tory, I always thought of him as a communist. Oh well.

    Ooops, just seen your laters reply, oh bugger, I really am confuddled.

    From that article:

    "Calling for lower taxes, Fox said: "The great socialist coup of the last decade was making wealth an embarrassment. It is not. It is the prize for aspiration and hard work, and its side effects are higher tax revenues, more jobs and more investment.""

    No, I never took that from the New Labour gov at all, I wasn't a supporter either. I'd say they wanted everyone to get wealthy and sod how they did it.

    This government want's it's core supporters to get wealthier and sod the ones at the bottom and even the middle.

    New Labour loved wealth. A bit too much.

    No mate, me and a lad set ourselves a pissed up challenge that means we're gonna ride over 100 mile on a fixed wheel in a day. Last time I went on a bike I fell off 4 years ago.

    Wow, quite a debate lads!

    Thank you for those who donated some of their money to the hospice, it certainly means a lot! Good luck to [MENTION=6606]Dyson[/MENTION] too, let me know if you're setting up a fundraising page and I'll certainly chip in a few quid.

    BBS bike ride during summer (June) would:-

    (1) raise some cash
    (2) be a good laugh
    (3) could involve kids/family
    (4) keep you fit
    (5) link journey to another club or charity
    (6) allow a drink of ale at some point (s)?

    Just needs somebody to coordinate this......and I would expect BFC would/should play a part?

    Count me and my daughter in......if its a goer.

    Is this the same Liam Fox who had to resign from the Cabinet? Thought so.
    [QUOTED=Rosco;1280203]From that article:

    "Calling for lower taxes, Fox said: "The great socialist coup of the last decade was making wealth an embarrassment. It is not. It is the prize for aspiration and hard work, and its side effects are higher tax revenues, more jobs and more investment.""

    No, I never took that from the New Labour gov at all, I wasn't a supporter either. I'd say they wanted everyone to get wealthy and sod how they did it.
