Is it ok for me to support both of those taxes, or am I just ideologically confused I wonder?
One of them is not a tax, so you clearly are confused
I know the Bedroom Tax is not really a tax, but its colloquial name refers to it as one, so you'll have to forgive the occasional slip of the fingers when it comes to the terminology. I still support the Spare Room Subsidy then.

Unlike the last Labour government who kicked the poor in the knackers by abolishing the 10p tax rate to give the middle classes and high earners a tax cut.
You are even more confused then. You mean removing the SRS?
What I am is not very good at is clarity at 11.24 (or rather 23:24, in case you worry I think it is 1124 in the morning in the UK because I failed to attach AM to the end of it). Perhaps you could insert the words 'the policy regarding ' before the word 'the' to take my meaning.
Or maybe I should not have bothered defending the government on the effing Bedroom Tax in the first place.

The majority of people are in debt, is that right? So someone who has £50 in the bank is actually better off than average, which is a slightly odd thought.

A tax is an amount of money that is confiscated from your income. The removal of a benefit means that the government stops giving you cash. They are very different.

It's your rank hypocrisy of banging on about lack of NHS funding when so much of it is pulled away from patient care to fund your retirement at 54 that irritates, but you are possessed such a feeling of entitlement because of your sacrifice, despite being an administrator, that you are oblivious to it.

On the myleene front probably not as she sold records around the globe so money came from other regions. On the subsidy front why can't left wingers answer the simple question that keeps getting put about why the renting in the public sector in terms of rooms shouldn't be treated in the same way as renting in the private sector?
Spare a thought for the people of Buffalo. Parts of the city got 6 feet of snow in 24 hours. Another incoming storm is expected to dump another 2 feet on parts of the city.
Ralph Wilson Stadium is under 4 feet of snow. The Bills have a game on Sunday. Because of the driving ban players can't meet or have practices. The call has gone out for diggers needed.
They will pay $10 an hour and you will get game tickets. What a deal.

The excellent academic results from Trojan horse schools in Birmingham and now Tower Hamlets, must surely present "progressives" with a paradox/headache.
They despise old fashioned methods of teaching on the one hand, but on the other something has to be pretty bad for them to consider criticising Islam....
Strict discipline and fear of failure has made these schools "outstanding" in the eyes of OFSTED, until they realised they were also religiously indoctrinating the kids and put them into special measures... but surely we can learn something from them?
We now know that it wasn't the London Challenge that was helping the capitals schools improve, so why not take the silver lining from the worrying cloud of extremism?

Not been in the news as much lately but Ebola is still a major concern in W Africa. The rate of transmission has slowed in Guinea and Liberia but even so these countries are seeing about 100-150 new cases a week. In Sierra Leone growth is still exponential and is now up to about 400-500 cases per week. There are only around 400 treatment beds in the whole of Sierra Leone.
There is still only about a quarter of the beds required across the 3 countries. One of the key issues is getting the staff (particularly from overseas) to run them. You can't really blame them when 11 health workers died in the last week and the issue of quarantines for returning health workers.
There have now been 5 deaths in Mali. A Grand Imam went to Mali for treatment at a private clinic in Mali but was not tested for Ebola. This has only been established retrospectively as a nurse in Mali and members of the Imam's family died from Ebola. Mali is now monitoring 400 contacts and needs to put a lid on Ebola fast. Mali has a much higher population than the 3 countries currently with high infections.
On the myleene front probably not as she sold records around the globe so money came from other regions.
If I remember rightly, that band she was in only lasted a year. Her "success" since then has only come as a result of her showering in a bikini on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. She's the perfect example that demolishes the rightwingers' argument that so-called "wealth creators" have got to where they are through hard work, rather than through undeserved dumb luck.

Don't think anyone has been arguing about that, just about what Nicky Morgan's role in this was/is.
Indigo labelled the state of affairs described in the Daily Mail quote as 'total idiocy'. I'm simply pointing out that the Daily Mail report is wholly misleading. A debate whether Nicky Morgan is responsible for something that hasn't happened seems somewhat pointless.
Quite right. The report never said the school was 'too English'; that remark came from one of the parents, presumably in response to a loaded question from a reporter at The Daily Hate. Rabble-rousing journalism at its worst!
Just be clear, this is what is commonly know as disingenuous, the report actually said is
"It is not yet and outstanding school because ... Pupils’ cultural development is limited by a lack of first-hand experience of the diverse make up of modern British society."
"What does the school need to do to improve further? Extend pupils’ understanding of the cultural diversity of modern British society by creating opportunities for them to have first-hand interaction with their counterparts from different backgrounds beyond the immediate locality."
"Pupils’ cultural development is good. They learn about different people’s social and ethnic backgrounds, customs and beliefs. However, opportunities for them to develop a deeper understanding of the nature of modern British society by interacting at first hand with their counterparts from different cultural background beyond the immediate locality are underdeveloped."
Which is hardly a surprise when it is a small primary school in a town which is 97% white, so what is the school supposed to do about it ? Bus in minorities to parade before their pupils ? I said it was idiocy, its idiocy. As to whether its anything to do with Nicky Morgan
"The Church of England has raised alarm over the Education Secretary Nicky Morgan’s drive to make schools teach “British values” branding it potentially dangerous, divisive and undemocratic.
The Church, which is responsible for the schooling of around a million children in England, voiced fears that what it sees as a narrow definition of British values introduced in the wake of the Trojan Horse scandal is being used as a test of whether people are "loyal" and "safe".
It singled out the use of inspectors to "police" whether schools are promoting ideas about equality and diversity as a major concern."

How do you sleep at night its like robbing your own Grand kids.
Cameron backs the #bedroomtax but not the #mansiontax. If you’ve got big money you’ve a friend in this PM; if not, he couldn’t care less.
He must like you, the amount of money in your pension pot makes you significantly better of than the majority of people in England. You don't seem very appreciative.
The private sector tax - we all pay it so BJO can have a fat cat defined benefit retirement.
The Slacker Tax.
You have to wonder about someone who bottled it at the sight of Lansley.
Presume you pay the stalker tax.
This months pension arrives next week will look out to see if there is an analysis of how much you contribute.
Far too much.
Who made the sacrifice BTW?
How much do you think you contribute to my pension?
Why are you stalking me envy is a terrible PB Tories tell me
Me
You think that public sector pensions are self sufficient and don't get topped up by the mug taxpayers ? Lolz.
Are you saying envy is a good thing now.
Pension is part of the remuneration deal if you have a shit pension and arent making up for it in the rest of your remuneration package you are indeed a mug
But if a company offered your deal it would got bust. You don't have to worry about that as taxpayers have no choice but to pony up.
Your pension outcome would cost probably more than a "mansion" that you are lusting to tax year on year.
Fair play to you for gaming the rigged system - but don't moan at the rank hypocrisy being pointed out.
Dont see why you support a race to the bottom.
Companies took pension holidays and then withdrew FS pension schemes for their workers but the Directors remuneration rocketed.
Priorities my old bean.

Ed is your man.
You seem to have forgotten the £5bn/year pension fund tax grab by Gordon Brown.
I had a £200k annuity pot it makes up a pathetic element of my pension.
Final salary pensions are a much better bet.
Pity companies only offer them to their Directors these days,
Thats Global Capitalism for you.

What makes you think I'm envious of it? I'm in receipt of a civil service pension. The difference between us is that I am aware of what a massive benefit it is. You think you have some right to receive it due to some imaginary sacrifice, you are utterly clueless.

That's one of the problems - increased spending is viewed in and of itself as A Good Thing. That's really dumb. During the last Labour government NHS spending was hugely increased. Were there metrics on improved outcomes or less waiting time?. Of course not. But wages went up.
Surely he cannot be both uncounselled and ill-advised? Even a political party would surely struggle to both not give advice and advise poorly at the same time.
Bravo! PB pedantry at its inimitable best.
You give me far too much credit. If I have pedanted better than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of extremely pedantic giants.
PB is less good at developing one's skills at tortured paraphrasing and metaphors though.
"Unready" as in "Ethelred the unready" is a mistranslation of OE unraed meaning badly advised or not advised. The writer is therefore actually presenting alternative glosses of "unready" rather than contradicting himself.
I keep hearing on TV news, re the possibility of further Tory defections post-Rochester: "If, as expected, the Tories lose, other MPs may conclude their hopes of remaining in Parliament are better served by switching parties". But this is utter bollocks, surely. Save for Thanet South, which current Tory MP is more likely to hold their seat at GE as a UKIP candidate? In a by-election, possibly; but they're not going to face that unless they defect now. The only reason for doing so would be vanity, pique, a wish to screw Cameron over Europe/immigration/modernisation or desire to go out of Parliament with a bang.

All members of the public - except public sector employees - pay for benefits.

They despise old fashioned methods of teaching on the one hand, but on the other something has to be pretty bad for them to consider criticising Islam....
Strict discipline and fear of failure has made these schools "outstanding" in the eyes of OFSTED, until they realised they were also religiously indoctrinating the kids and put them into special measures... but surely we can learn something from them?
We now know that it wasn't the London Challenge that was helping the capitals schools improve, so why not take the silver lining from the worrying cloud of extremism?
PB is less good at developing one's skills at tortured paraphrasing and metaphors though.
There is still only about a quarter of the beds required across the 3 countries. One of the key issues is getting the staff (particularly from overseas) to run them. You can't really blame them when 11 health workers died in the last week and the issue of quarantines for returning health workers.
There have now been 5 deaths in Mali. A Grand Imam went to Mali for treatment at a private clinic in Mali but was not tested for Ebola. This has only been established retrospectively as a nurse in Mali and members of the Imam's family died from Ebola. Mali is now monitoring 400 contacts and needs to put a lid on Ebola fast. Mali has a much higher population than the 3 countries currently with high infections.

Which is hardly a surprise when it is a small primary school in a town which is 97% white, so what is the school supposed to do about it ? Bus in minorities to parade before their pupils ? I said it was idiocy, its idiocy. As to whether its anything to do with Nicky Morgan
