Tax and general rant about thick people

"Mohammad urges expats and nationals to obtain IDs"

hmmm, sounds like income tax will be on its way in very shortly!

Speaking of which, I now pay income tax. Had a stack of self assesment forms posted to me as soon as Inland Rev caught wind of my address. I was instructed to pay £100 fine for each late return which is only disputable after I have filled and returned the forms!

Although the thought of having a "tax free salary" was fantastic, given that almost 50% of my salary was going to the tax man. However, now that I have experienced the tax free and back to paying tax, I do prefer paying tax and living in a civilised world.

I was sharing this view with a colleague who was also an expat. If you are an expat, regardless of where ever you are, the majority of people you are competing with will be expats who couldn't "make it" back home. As a result, this is their only shot and will do whatever it takes to succeed which is where manners, ethics, morals and ting get left behind in immigration. Especially given how much they boast to their folks back home and when they do return home, they act as though they are kings and queens returning to their castles.

On another note, it really is amazing how white people are so thick and completely and utterly oblivious to what is happening in the Middle East! All they talk about is football or Big Bruva, but when it comes to people's lives, they just don't have a bluddy clue. It is incredibly frightening as these middle class white folks will just listen to what they hear in the media in order to cover up their ignorance.

The c*ck sucker who sits opposite me is so unbelievably deluded and thick, I've caught him asking my opinion (on a work matter) and then regurgitating it to the boss as his own! He is also an East End cockney beer belly trying to be a public school boy...now there's an amusing sight!
