How much will it cost? How much extra are you willing to put in the pot? Income tax is currently 20% on earnings over £11,000. What would you like to see the rate go up to?

Why does it need to go up?

People were warned in 1984 when we were on strike what the future held if they did not support us,the I am all right jacks at the time who sowed the seeds are now seeing the crop come to fruition,Private enterprise left to run amok in the pursuit of lining certain peoples pockets does not work,first we had the milk snatcher destroying young peoples futures now we have Cameron and Osborne not content with destroying once again young peoples futures but destroying our island nation into the bargain,giving the power to overseas companies to control our destiny.

We are a Island race(mixed blood from many nations) who have never been totally conquered by anyone but we have this so called government (Tories) surrendering everything in their capitalist beliefs to the people who lines their pockets the most.

Self sufficient these Islands of ours until the capitalists lined their pockets whilst selling everything off,now totally reliant on everything from overseas,paying through the nose for everything we need,food,fuel and raw materials is coming tomorrow,the Tories will see to that through their pocket lining friends.

Get rid of this lot before it is to late to reverse the damage they have done and will do if allowed to carry on,in their pursuit of total capitalism.

Not only are they hell bent on destroying the lives of millions of us Islanders,industries of which there is not many left,we are probably the largest industry(TAXI) that is owned by us Islanders left AND BE WARNED THEY ARE HELL BENT ON DESTROYING THAT ALSO.

1984 was lost due to lack of support of the populace not the bulk of miners themselves, but the lack of support for the National Taxi Associations within this trade by license holders or drivers is unbelievable and can only draw the conclusion that they are part of the 1984 I am all right brigade or their off spring.

How much money do you want the country to spend on supporting industries that can't produce products at prices that are affordable?

You have to look at tomorrow as well as to day....anway it's about time the south started to put some money into the north....we have been subsidising the south for the last 100 years +

Of course if we left the EU we could offer state aid.

And we could then tell the Chinese to poke their steel, and EU coal, which would help the issues discussed above.

I find it interesting that many who want us to bail out steel, never stop bellyaching about the bailing out of the banks.

I happen to believe there is merit in both, but not for ever and ever.

Things, in time, do need to pay their way

It's the EU's fault for letting China dump millions of tonnes of steel on our shores.

Wrong other Nations including Italy have used EU regulations that enable us to restrict the importation of Chinese Steel, Gideon wont do it because he is afraid of upsetting the Chinese ..............................this issue is fully explained in todays Daily Mirror!

Bailing the CROOKS in the banks was OK if the crooks werte bought to justice obviously they wernt!!

Bailing out the Steel industry is absolutely essential for this Nations security!

Port Talbot workers are obviously cretins having a KINNOCK as MP ffs typical of the gobshite Welsh sheep shagging turds !!
