Yet more Tory sleaze….

Start a new thread then.

Didn't say it was irrelevant.

You're Pug man so I'm sure you remember the other forum well enough.

Who the gibbering f*ck is 'Pug Man'? We already had this conversation, and I was clear enough that I had no idea who or what you were banging on about. I joined CycleChat in February, use the same screen name & avatar over there, haven't really posted all that much - mostly in the bassists/guitarists OT thread & a thread I made about a Ti bike build. Go stalk me if you want:

I'm actually starting to worry about your mental health, Shep. Maybe you should, too.

I think Pug Man was his last secret crush.

Explains a lot. People can have some odd ways of trying to communicate their deep, innermost feelings, can't they? I'm a little flattered...

'Claims raise questions about whether there was rule-flouting culture over number of months' quelle surprise!

With this shower there’s always more.

Purchase Tax (introduced under the Conservative Churchill...) had even been 100% on some things at some points. It was a messy system, open to obvious abuses, and the members agreed it was not allowed in the EEC. VAT was only an EU tax in that the members agreed it was allowed. It existed before the EEC in some.

Later, members agreed there should be a minimum basic rate (15% since 2006) and certain things cannot be exempt but this is agreed by member country ministers so blaming it on the EU would be "forum shopping".

But we've left the EU and the Conservatives have kept it, as well as their history of increasing it and keeping it above any agreed minimum.

I wasn't "blaming" it on the EU, but, it was a replacement for Purchase Tax, and, it was (and still is) a tax in effect in the EU (EEC in 1973). I am actually old enough to remember this happening.

Don't know about an "agreed minimum", wouldn't it be an an "agreed maximum" which would be interesting. I seem to recall that well known Conservative, Dennis Healey introducing a 25% rate.

Err, OK then.

Your posting style and some of the things you mention about yourself is very similar to a previous member who had a Pug as an avatar, hence the reference. 🤔

Some people have to reinvent themselves and pretend their someone else as well, you won't outsmart this wiley old sheep dog though. 😉

Well she got a contract extension for presumably being pliable.

@shep I've bunged a few quid towards LBD as they do valuable work. Depending on your values of course.

A truly excellent piece of work.

So you still think I'm this Pug Dude?

Does anyone else know who the hell he's on about? I'm intrigued. And a little creeped out.

Aye, he’s mixing you up with Edwardoka (who is now showing as ‘guest’ on CC) and is from my neck of the woods.

Poor Shep’s barking.. erm, up the wrong tree.

Ah, I was trying to remember but I thought his avatar was a French bulldog. When it comes to dog breeds I can only make rough approximations. Rough rough rough!

Ah. So much for not outsmarting the wily old creepdog, sorry - sheepdog, then.

OK lads, I stand erected.

That's the bloke, Edwardoka, apologies to all.
