Treasury Chief Secretary Danny Alexander announced plans to attack offshore havens and other tax "dodges".

"Likening tax evaders to benefit cheats, he told the party's conference the measures could raise £7bn a year by 2015, helping to cut the deficit."

We're lucky that anyone making any serious coin pays a penny in tax to the UK Exchequer when you consider the **** that they spend it on. Less 'out reach projects', more bombs please.

Maybe you could use a little "outreach work " yourself.:p

I've never felt less threatened in my entire life.

Why are you gutless commies so appalled at the thought of us bombing the **** out of this theocratic fascist state, before it develops a nuclear bomb that it will no doubt use against Israel? Oh, I think I just got my answer.

I was thinking more in terms of an anger management course rather than offering physical confrontation.

I think you can rely on Israel using its own nuclear bomb if they have to.Why should Israel be the only state in the region to have the bomb?

I think people need to look at a map of the Middle East. Israel is the size of Wales. The difference is that Israel is long and thin, so if the Saudis decided to attack by air a fighter plane could cross the whole country in something like four seconds, and so could a bomb launched from there.

If a nuclear bomb was to hit Israel it would completely obliterate the country, along with Gaza and the West Bank I would imagine. If Israel were to bomb Saudi Arabia I would suspect most of the country wouldn't even know it.

As for the Iran, Israel was condemned many years ago for destroying an Iranian nuclear power plant. Now, when everyone recognises Iran as a rogue state with a seemingly unstable president (that a lot of Iranians consider a laughing stock incidentally) everyone accepts it was the best thing they could have done.

BTW Rusty, I believe this:

בתחבולות תעשה לך מלחמה

is out of date now. Although I may be wrong...

You're correct, but I prefer the old one to:

באין תחבולות יפול עם, ותשועה ברוב יועץ

which isn't quite so chilling.

Leave David Beckham's tattoos out of this - we are trying to have a serious political debate.

Not like you then?;)
BTW what's a putz? Are you American or something?:unsure:

You're quite right about the comparison with Wales.Have you ever stood on the Golan Heights? I have.It reminded me (a bit)of Leigh Cliffs(without the view of Canvey or Two Tree Island).:)
Personally I woudn't agree that Iran is a rogue state(not compared to North Korea).They're just not interested in American style capitalism because they have a culture and history of their own.As did Iraq before the US(and Blair)invaded.

And they have publicly stated that they want to wipe Israel off the face of the map.

Actually, they've refused to recognise Israel's existence which is not quite the same thing.
