If I was paying £3k per month or £36k per year in tax I would have a very comfortable standard of life and would have no issues whatsoever paying tax at that level. Hopefully I would be sufficiently competent in organising my finances that any tax bill was planned for.

Depends how it's built up. Not everything on a self assessment is physical income.
 
She can look forward to a career on Countdown after this election.
 
Strange thing being that had her (Ms Abbott) calculations been emblazoned on the side of a bus, nobody would have flinched or taken her to task.
 
I had a friend genuinely admit to me the other day that he wouldn't have voted the way he did had he known that the ' thing about the NHS on the bus wasn't true'. Sigh.
 
Labour have pledged to remove hospital parking charges in England.
 
To add, it's paid for by a charge on private health insurance (according to Laura K anyway).
 
Good they are criminal 3.10 an hour at Cambridge

They were like that at the old Princess Margaret in Swindon. Cost me a fortune to be at my eldest's birth. The reason - it was still cheaper than the NCP in town so people parked at the hospital to do their shopping.

Scrap the charges and that will be endemic.

Not in Cambridge. Park and ride 2.40 a day 1 mile away but people often can't walk from there to the hospital
 
The rest of today's policies:

I think the junk food adverts one is quite funny. Completely unworkable unless it includes the deep fried crap you get from freezer shops because it's cheap. A free school meal is a vote winner regardless and also give them a breakfast. One that is nutritious and healthy and tell them why, would be a great idea. As for the NHS just fund it properly, get rid of the Corporates completely and run it efficiently and not tax where it is outsourced - because I think that'll would just hit services.
 
The junk food one centres around adverts during children's TV programmes I believe.

Agree with that, though charges have to be reasonable. Salisbury gives the first 20mins free so that if you are just collecting someone then you don't pay and at St George's my son got a special ticket from Intensive Care dept when my daughter in law was in there & he was virtually living in the hospital which was £10 for the week.

With a hospital close to a town centre too low people who aren't at the hospital go in as well - can remember taking my wife of the time to Dorchester for an appointment, dropping her off & merely driving round the car park & not finding a space before she phoned to say she was ready to be picked up at the main entrance again.

Would a system whereby you receive a ticket on entering the car park, have it scanned by a secretary/machine at the department you are visiting thus allowing you to depart for free work?

We have the terminals where you check in at the main north Staffs (not in all hospitals around here yet) so I don't see why you couldn't scan your ticket in then. I'm not sure where you would get your refund though.

Yes, would work - a bit like the supermarkets who don't own their own car parks who can do that as you pass through their till can validate the ticket to get out (though 1 or 2 I have been in like that need a minimum spend). If you were actually in the hospital then would merely validate it to let you out, though would only work with pay on exit for the time parked - the worst ones are those that you have to pay on entry for a specified time, as if you know that when you park!!)
