    hmm... Do you want a pat on the back?

    Catastrophic... That's not good.

    Did you move to Canada? did you flee Canada?

    ... I'm not from the UK - but from what you described, your tax reform was/is nothing to be proud of. Sometimes a slice of happiness should be foregone for stability.

    Well, it's a small world! River Ape (along with Jacqui Lait, subsequently shadow Secretary of State for Scotland) represented Strathclyde University at the National Conservative Student Conference in the same year that Madsen Pirie (founder and President of the Adam Smith Institute) and Douglas Mason represented St Andrews.

    However, River Ape has always been under the impression that it was Douglas Mason who invented the Poll Tax! Did Douglas acknowledge your authorship of the Poll Tax? Did you claim it for yourself during Douglas's lifetime. (He died last year.)

    Did you know that Adam Smith himself was hostile to Poll Taxes?

    River Ape was among the demonstrators against the Poll Tax on the day of the famous riot, and suffered a smashed finger. The finger was one of a set of four holding a railing when a policeman decided to hit it with his baton. It turned (quite literally) black and blue and swelled up to the size of two ordinary fingers, and was a phenomenon of astonishment to his friends and colleagues.

    Errmm, I thought the original poll tax was back in the 14th century or so, and caused similar riots until it was abandoned a few years after it was introduced. Oh look, you say that much anyway. So why claim you invented it?

    Anyway, interesting to note people here from my old university as well.

    Anway, Id cards rent a poll tax, they are a means of identifying the inhabitants of the country so that either they can collect the benefits to which they are entitled, or else be picked out of the herd for being different.

    This has to be the most original trolling statement I have ever seen on the internet

    The poll tax was an utter disaster. Face up to it. If you are going through life, telling everyone at every dinner party that you were the guy that came up with the poll tax and you don't apologise for it then I fear you are going to run out of invites!

    The only successful thing the poll tax achieved was to get the conservatives out of power!

    And i have to ask you Mr 'quelquechosedautre', or should i call you Mr ego, that i find it extremly sad when someone creates an entire thread about themselves, the immense Failure that they are...actually is that why you created this thread, to get attention???

    Shifty Russian was right,

    From the columns of Hansard, Proceedings of the House of Commons, 5 July 1989:

    Mr. Rifkind : I have had a number of contacts with Mr. Mason and with the Adam Smith Institute. I have always found them stimulating and I hope that they will continue.

    Mr. Galloway : In any of those contacts was the Secretary of State spared Mr. Douglas Mason's bizarre and unbelievable idea that Hong Kong should be towed, lock, stock and barrel and relocated off the west coast of Scotland, on one of the western isles? As I listened to the radio interview, I thought that the man must be barking mad, until I realised that it was the same Douglas Mason who was the architect of the poll tax. Will the Secretary of State see whether there is a rocky outcrop somewhere on the edge of our territorial waters where Mr. Douglas Mason, the Adam Smith Institute and the trash Thatcherite ideas, which have no support in Scotland, might be relocated?

    Mr. Rifkind : I said that I always found Mr. Mason's views stimulating. I did not say that I always agreed with them.


    And to think it wasn't really Douglas to blame at all -- but quelqu'un d'autre !

    What, you mean like the current situation whereby local authorities get most of their money from central gvt, and so still get bloated?

    Naw, your talking the usual right wing mince.

    Best thing since greeks invented democracy? Hahhahahahahhahahaha!

    [Note- you migth have guessed, I'm coming at this from completely opposite assumptions and desired means to an end that may be similar in outline to mr quelquechoses']

    Robert L Thompsett has never had an original bone in his body

    He phones customers from local newspapers to make his own paper work. He copies artwork from ottawa citizen and offers the customer a discount rate in his own paper with a stolen add that someone else went through all the trouble. If he was involved he was passing information from the elite manipulating government like spies do. Meet Robert L THompsett he is a bumbling fool who dresses like a bum.

    even a light investigation of finances would expose Robert L Thompsett as a fraud. He has no ability to hide the fact he has no ability as a news editor and apparently a very poor disinformation specialist as well. CSIS got a blank check after 911 and agents like Robert Probably got a raise. More money to attempt communism on the people. AS the price of gas rises and the elite banks suck out all funds more and more people will find out why on my site. I have written a lot about Mr. Thompsett and his dealings and many more agents like him. He was sent in to protect a man named Craig Murry another disinformation agent cap871@hotmail.com I met this peice of crap in writing and publishing yahoo groups. He has a private group he calls passionate pen. He also sells stockers trained by RObert and even though they think they covered it up I can still dig up evidense to this day to support my case.

    Including more of the same game played in the U.S

    the stockers explained in the above link are people hired by csis to keep people like me in check. The odd thing is when I attack RObert L Thompsett they back off and I get well rested. When I leave the net they are all over me I find this interesting RObert that they want this argument. How about you QuelQUechosedautre do you want me to continue exposing you as the enemy?

    I was just thinking that without the stockers idiots like Robert L THompsett can get drummed out pretty fast. That is why Communism failed in russia and will fail miserably here. ANd I will make sure the freemasons are not the only one who get to be the escape goat. There is plenty of others who I have contacted since my encounters with Robert L Thompsett that now see the big picture. So RObert you better dust off that fancy black suit for the modern neurenberg trials because they are coming soon.....
