    Read the post again.
    Then your post should perhaps read as "There are thousands of pictures of Jimmy Saville on social media and the internet as a whole. Are you trying to get them all removed, or just the doctored and altered one of him wearing a Conservative t shirt?"
    Clear enough now?
    Perhaps you would not object to say a Brady-wearing-a-labour-t-shirt example instead?
    To say that either are in poor taste is at best a gross understatement.

    This is drivel. its a fact that Saville was Tory and devoted to Mrs T.

    That does not say anything about the average Conservative voter.

    All it shows is that celebrities are welcomed by all political parties and a few of them (like the public in general) are rather iffy people.
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    Nothing wrong with the idea that thosewho can afford to pay should pay. I agree its better that the first £100K is exempt than currently where the first £23K is exempt.

    The only question I would ask is whether it is fair that two people each worth £500,000 should be treated so unequally if one of them gets dementia and the other has a heart attack and dies in days.


    That said I like the idea more for the fact that it is the Conservatives who are shafting their core voters.Which is why I do not think the policy will ever actually be introduced.

    Ah, Theresa agrees with me!
