    proof of date moved to France

    If you were in receipt of any income liable to UK taxation  at the time of your arrival in France you should have filled out and filed a Form France-Individual United Kingdom/France Double Taxation Convention (SI 2009 Number 226.

    This form would require you to enter 'the date on which you became a resident of France'. On completion the form should have initially been forwarded to Service des Impôts Particuliers for the district in which you reside. The Service des Impôts Particuliers will certify that you are resident in France for the purposes of French tax and will return the form to you to forward on to HM Revenue and Customs.

    I have just glanced at our village newsletter where mention was made of the barrier to be constructed next year.  Most amused to see that instead of giving the name of the road or the family who owns the orchard, it states that this will be built à coté chez Mint![/quote]

    That will be to enable accounts to know who to send the 'Facture' to.

    Accepted or not, it seems that everyone is expected to know our name![:-))][/quote]

    Yes. So as they will all know who to thank for paying the 'Facture'.

    She's human, like the rest of us.

    Cajal - hasn't anyone anyone in your family ever done something like that? I know some of mine have.

    What you're saying is that MPs have to behave in a super- moral  way.

    I must say I admire your much misplaced resolve in support of Dianne Abbott.

    Yes, we are all human, although that term should only be used loosely where certain of society are concerned.

    However, neither myself nor any of my family have chosen to follow a career of politics and public leadership. She has and on that basis the public is entitled to expect her to conduct herself in line with her chosen way of life.  Yes, that is what I am saying, she must behave in a 'super-moral way'.

    I would suggest she thinks twice before slugging on a can of alcohol on public transport in full view of the people she expects to follow the laws that her Westminster organisation has imposed upon them. I would also suggest that if she wished to criticise her colleagues on their childrens education choices whilst privately educating her own she should have applied more thought into which flavour of politics she decided to follow.

    As to being a good constituency MP towards black and Jewish people, the borough of Hackney and Stoke Newington's demographic is of people of colour and the largest concentration of Charedi Hasidic Jews in Europe. She wouldn't have lasted this long had she ignored that fact.

    Although from the neighbouring borough to Jeremy Corbyn she still holds that 'Islington' attitude and mentality which transfers itself to the 'Westminster Bubble' at the detriment of  the good people like those from your own neck of the woods.

    Take a couple of minutes to read the Wiki link in my post above to enable you to  fully understand how this public-servant operates and conducts herself.

    Finally, what amazes me when I read French forums is how many 'sitting on the terrace, wine quoffing, socialist elite living here in France' seem to all know what is best for the UK. Let's face it we all know who are the most adept ones to sort out the woes of the UK. Unfortunately they are all to busy driving taxis or cutting hair.

    And as for Dianne Abbott - she's a very popular MP in her Hackney constituency, which is multiracial. She is impartial, supports Jews, black people and all other minority groups.

    [/quote]
    whilst in 2003 she cast aside the comprehesive schools the majority of her constituents are forced to use to have her son privately educated having already denounced colleagues for sending their children to selective schools.

    Would this be the same Dianne Abbott you are referring to?

    [quote user="woolybanana"]Well, we know who you are not voting for![/quote]

    Assuming you are referring to the forthcoming UK election and that I would be eligible to a vote, there is no way on earth I would cast that vote on behalf of Jeremy Corbyn, even if my life depended on it. Vote for him and you also get John McDonnell, one time deputy leader to Ken Livingstone on the GLC.
    In the late seventies and early eighties I was resident in Islington where loony Margaret Hodge was leader of the council and Corbyn was and still is MP for the north of the borough.
    I saw, first hand, what material they were woven from.

    Michael Foot won more seats back in 1983!!!!

    Once the champagne socialists absorb that fact, they may, just may begin to make inroads back into becoming a viable alternative.

    Tip for the future:

    Don't tell the electorate you will honour a referrendum vote and then campaign on a alternative policy.

    If you're not capable of successfully manouevering your way around your shoe cupboard and you're also unable to distinguish your left foot from your right, how could you possibly be responsible for the security and safety of 68 million residents of the GB and NI?

    It looks, possibly, that an MP and prospective Home Secretary may have sent their son on a research reccy to test police resolve in the event that, following next weeks election, they become the police services' head honcho.

    [quote user="nomoss"]I think France and Germany may go off subsidising every other EU country once the UK is no longer contributing to fill the bottomless pit.

    [/quote]

    German 3rd quater figures, published today, state they managed to avoid a technical recession by 0.1% of growth.  It's not beyond the realms of possibilty that those figures were 'cooked' to avoid the inevitable.

    At this rate they could be touting around for their own subsidies in the not to distant future.
