Read this morning that the snp would scrap the westminster tax breaks for married couples. So two questions
1. Would this tax break encourage you to marry or is it pointless.
2. Does the tax break discriminate against unmarried couples. |

Agree with previous reply. No one marries for the tax break. Does that mean married couples would move south because they would be better off financially? Lol. Alex salmond really knows how to keep folk happy!
Only hope if Scotland sets up its own tax office that the IT and staff are more capable than HMRC. |

what you mean _nny is the truth as you see it( otherwise known as an opinion) you state that salmond is out of touch on this. Does that mean you think the £3.85 per week tax break shared between 2 people (as long as you are married) is a policy which is in touch ?
or would retaining the £700 million in tax revenue, the policy is estimated to cost and using it to provide essential services. Is this also out of touch ? |

The notion of Eck being 'in touch' with anything, especially reality is laughable.
These are just non-announcements in the hope nobody will notice the rise in non-court disposal of sex offences, drug offences and assaults, amongst others. |

Ok Bino, responding; pointless!
But I'm afraid that this sort of stuff from the SNP can't be separated from the wider independence issue. And it's only going to get worse/more intense as we get nearer the great day!
And I hope that Alex Salmond will be publishing a simple list of all these 'gives' and 'takes', with their associated costs and savings. But then, that would be getting into the realms of transparency, which is a concept that AS seems to struggle with!!

You make a fair point, however i will again as i have done on numerous occasions come back to the point of why feel the need to lay the behaviour and nature of politics at the feet of one individual instead of all politicians.
this is simply a tactic being used (as it has in many political campaigns) to distract the populous from the issues at hand and have them focussed on personalities instead.
that said can i remind anyone reading that i didnt post a question about independance, it is a question asking what people think of the policy of a tax break for married couples. |

cant disagree with you on that, the uk tax code runs to somewhere in the region of 11000 pages. Way too complex and much too easy for big business to avoid paying taxes.
A simpler more straightforward system would be better. |

"Anyone that marries on the basis of a tax break better start saving to pay for the divorce  "
I agree.
And, the SNP may buy your vote but not mine. No other alternative to the SNP = too much power. |

im trying hard to stay on the topic of taxation, however you are viewing this as an attempt by the snp to buy votes.but surely the introduction of this tax break from westminster is also an attempt to buy votes ? |

forget about which party it is, no matter who is the largest party at holyrood they would still be restricted on taxation policy making. |

I agreed with the second post... then my view on SNP judging by the rest of the off topic stuff I do view as an attempt, an opinion that can change. And yes, anything that Westminster does for Scotland until the Referendum, in my opinion, is an attempt to buy votes. Delivering these promises after a Yes or No vote is a whole other topic which is based on opinion. |

Also people, IndependEnce. E not A. No difficult. To answer the question though, why should married folks get a tax break and not same sex couples or 'bidey ins'?
Extra help for folks with kids allows parents to get back to work, which in turn generates tax in itself to pay for it and some, over a lifetime career which also puts cash in folks pockets for them to spend yada yada.
It's a no brainer.
And if 'king' Eck is such a cunt, explain to me please George Osborne being 'Briton of the year'. That folks, is plain fucking lunacy. |

'this is simply a tactic being used (as it has in many political campaigns) to distract the populous from the issues at hand and have them focused on personalities instead.'
There are no personalities in politics anymore, that's half the problem and why people on the street are disengaged. Much as I hate, neigh despise, the Thatcher years (go on Onny, you're dying to, I know - yes it was big bad King Eck's teams fault - except we all know It was Callaghans doing really), at least that period of politics had a modicum of Rock N Roll about it to make folks get involved.

The latest epistle from John Mason, leader of the SNP's bampot tendency.
"SNP MSP John Mason has suggested the Old Testament story of the Tower of Babel could be used as an argument for Scottish independence.
Mr Mason, a committed Christian, has compared Scotland’s constitutional battle to the biblical episode, which saw God stop the people of Earth, who then spoke a common language, from building a tower to heaven.
The story, in the Book of Genesis, says God created different languages to confuse the builders and “scattered” them all over the world."

Aye, that's pish, I'll give you that. Is in the Scotsman though...hopefully that rags days are as numbered as the Unions.
Their front page today is positively tabloid. 'Attempted murder by highland stag on tourist', 'a billion people welcome the new year in Scotland', oh, and some shite about Cameron telling the Scots not to be so silly, even though he doesn't want to be part of the debate. His words no mine.
But still, if there's any truth in your article then aye, shite.
Happy New Year
