This was a surprise to actually see RE the lib dems:
Controversially they also plan to legalise cannabis so it can be taxed and sold on the high street - which they estimate would raise £1bn in tax revenues.
The party commits to creating a legal market for the production and sale of the substance in its manifesto, making it one of the first political parties to fight an election on a ticket of relaxing drug laws.
Cannabis would only be sold to people over-18 and sales would be strictly regulated under the new proposals.

I personally think that we should adopt a US style income tax system, if you have (or are eligible for) a US passport or green card, you're required to pay US tax on your worldwide income regardless of where you're resident. If you've paid taxes on the income elsewhere, you take a tax credit to avoid double taxation. You're still contributing to the nation and the society which you clearly still benefit from and want to keep ties with for whatever reason. When you renew your passport the government check to see if you've been paying your taxes, if you have it's simple.
If you want to stop paying the taxes, it's pretty simple, hand back your passport and renounce your citizenship when you move elsewhere, file the next ten years worth of tax returns to show that it's not purely for tax reasons and you're away.

As I posted earlier in the thread, 1% of our population pay 38% of our UK income taxes, that's only 650,000 people out of a population of ~65million. Would all 650k leave, probably not, but you'd bet they'd start thinking about it if they could move somewhere which has a cheaper tax rate without a decrease in standard of living.
It wouldn't take long for taxing the 1% harder to cause a decrease of tax income. I know that doesn't sell papers, or attract the anti-capitalists to vote for you, but it's a genuine issue. Short of having a US tax system where you have to report your worldwide income and pay tax on it if you have a British (US in their case) passport, I can't see the solution being taxing working people more.

Without being rude, it's almost like she's in self destruct mode with no thought for who else she takes down too. From everything you've posted on here, you've been giving awesome advice and she hasn't listened to any of it. Some people make things so much worse for themselves.

Is the same true for more intimate pictures?
I don't think coordinates go that small do they?

Got to say Jay's was more creative
I didn't want to reply to Jay as I thought it could open a can of worms

Not trying to scare monger like the legend who was WhackyWill, and some of you may already know this, so apologies if you do. I saw this on a motorbike forum, I'd say it's still pretty important for us though.
If you're using your smart phone to take a picture of your car, garage, motorbike etc. please be aware that if you've got gps active it stores your position in the file metadata.
As in; the EXACT location the picture was taken. You can download a picture from the internet, view the co-ordinates and use google maps to find the house where the picture was taken. It's a really simple way for some nefarious soul to find out where you keep your expensive toys.
It seems that Photobucket automatically removes the GPS data for you, but not all sites do. I found one of my motorbike pictures had a tag literally on top of my garage
Below is how to turn off the GPS picture tag on various devices.
IOS:
1. Open Settings app.
2. Privacy
3. Location Services
4. On the next page you will see the apps that use your device’s GPS to mark your location and store information about it in one way or the other.
5. find camera and turn its toggle off or never; whichever is available
Windows:
Right click on the picture > Properties > Details and at the bottom is a link "Remove Properties and Personal Information"
In the new window select "Remove the following properties from this file:"
Scroll down to the GPS section and select the info to be deleted.
Android:
Either
1. Open camera app
2. Press the 3 lines in the left hand corner
3. Press the cog symbol for settings
4. Turn off "save location"
or
1. Open Camera app
2. Bottom left hand corner, select the cog (settings) button
3. Top of the list is GPS Location info - select "Off"

You might as well buy something yourself and put her in it .......
Not a bad plan, investment property, stick her in it with the £600 a month rent as per the previous idea. She's helping you out whilst you help her out. If you have the cash up front to do that obviously!

The same man that told me 'stock is best' when I was umming and urring about changing the front bumper on my GT-Four
To be fair though, the GT-Four isn't ugly as sin

If you get the pedal dance wrong, literally nothing happens, because you've done it wrong
I'd make sure your air filter is nice and clean and maybe give it an oil change too.

Talk to the people you share the driveway with, see if you can fill the dip with cement. If you're paying for it, they probably won't mind. If it's enough of a drop to catch a standard Z on, it probably niggles them too, just not enough to do anything about.

2, definitely 2Hypothetical question for everyone, if the Lib Dems won the majority and came to power, who would be more surprised:
1) Every politician who isn't a Lib Dem.
2) The Lib Dem politicians themselves.
3) The general public
Tim Farron nips on to amazon and buys this

Do we think they'll be rolling this back out?

Milliband looks like a much better option to vote for than this muppet Corbyn,
I'm willing to bet he won't even stand down when they get hammered come June 8
I meant the tablet of goals but valid point, he definitely was a better candidate!
I wonder where Labour would be now if they had voted in the correct Milliband in the first place...
They must be kicking themselves, they need to kidnap his family and force him back in.
-
And no-one ever thought that Labour could have a weaker leader than Milliband. I guess people said it often enough at the time, and these things have a habit of becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The rules are as below:
So if you bought A1 AAA your plate could be much smaller than M999 MMM. The number 1 is allowed to be 14mm as it would look weird at 50mm.
Just worked it out roughly, A1 AAA all legal, would be a minimum plate of 302mm by 101mm, A999 AAA would be 460mm by 101mm

There was a guy on my road who used to grow it in his loft, no-one died for that. There's plenty of farms which get found all over the country here:

There's seeds for marijuana in bird seed:

It seems pretty easy to grow here without death, smuggling or enslaving, it could effectively be it's own industry. Almost like indoor Strawberry farms:

I don't think they'd ever be able to legalise heroin, that literally kills people. Marijuana is no worse than smoking, some would say less severe, it depends how you view paranoia I guess. Obviously they can't blanket all drugs as legal, just the ones which do less net damage to the country than say, alcohol does. Alcohol certainly kills/injures a LOT of people. I completely get what you're saying though, it is a slippery slope.

They've also mentioned about a second referendum on the small thing of Europe. It looks almost like they're going exclusively for the young voters, a pretty clever move I'd say as traditionally the parties haven't cared about the young a great deal.
