Devious, conniving shits (1)

A few days ago, we were talking about important things, like whether we should have a referendum on the EU Constitution/Reform Treaty (as voted for by MPs in early 2005), a valuable first step towards the inevitable break-up of the EU, for which read, 31,000 corrupt, self-serving self-appointed civil servants* in Brussels trying to run every last facet of the lives of nearly five hundred million people, on behalf of various industry-funded lobby groups, with blatant disregard to The Law Of Unintended Consequences**.

Now, the UK political class*** has diverted attention to the relatively trivial question of whether the Inheritance Tax nil rate band should be £1 million per individual estate or £600,000 per couple's estate****; and whether non-dom's should pay a flat £25,000 or a flat £30,000 per year in tax.

Can we, er, get back to what we were talking about before you started calling each other phoney, you devious, conniving shits?

* Plus ten times as many funded by their largesse in the 'Member States'. £1.9 million for 'Chalk and Cheese' in the South West? The words 'fuck' and 'off' spring to mind, in exactly that order.

*** You can tell them apart by their matching dark-blue suits, white shirts, pale-blue ties, parting on the left and chopping hand gestures.

**** Neither. Inheritance Tax should be scrapped completely and rolled into Land Value Tax.
