The perfect Christmas gift:


Form a Lunar land Registry.


Produce land ownership certificates in the form of a Christmas card.
You can give one to the people who can't afford a house on Earth.




A whole line of Charlie Hebdo greeting cards.


A nodding Mohammed head doll for car dashboard


The Prophet Mohammed dressed as Santa Klaus everywhere.

Means tested State Pension .... is it really fair that someone who has worked hard for 50 years and paid in NI Contributions all that time gets their Pension entitlement removed, just because they have been successful and built up a Pension Pot worth £50,000 a year?

Yes. I don't want my taxes to fund someone's retirement if they can afford it themselves.

Never forget we are one of the most highly taxed 'advanced' economies of the world. It's no bad thing if the tax burden is reduced.

So the lazy chav who hasn't paid at all .... gets a bigger Pension than someone who has paid in for 50 years??

Yeah, right, that's fair then!
