BEN’S BLOG: ‘100% Inheritance Tax – Bring it in Now’

 [dropcap]B[/dropcap]log, my least favourite area of London would have to be Camden, with its overload of commercialised grunge, forced upon your person, wherever you try and escape.

Closely followed by Camden though; has to be Chelsea. The sight of so many gormless, bouffon-haired, goofy-teethed, red-corduroy-trouser-wearing Hooray-Henrys, wandering around all day, without a care in the care in the world, is just SO infuriating.

Why are these inbred wallies not working? Why are the females amongst them able to stroll about, thinking of silly names for their kids, in a Bohemian Sienna Miller style, as if they’re starring in a tedious Hugh Grant film?

Why do they think they’re above everyone, so able to make such sniping remarks, and huddle together so closely? Why should they have it all so easy?!

Why? Why?? Why??? I’ll tell you, Blog! Because they inherited their money, and only have to have a pretend-job, keeping an eye on something, being run in an amateur fashion, for ‘mummy and daddy’.

The answer? An answer that would shake a few too many contented people up. Would get some old fogeys spending the money they guard like rotweillers for their lost and wet offspring. Would be wonderful for the economy, and a huge boost for charities, carrying out sterling work all over the country. Once the wife has had her go with the money; 100% Inheritance Tax; that goes to a charity of your choice.

Imagine walking up an down the Kings Road the day that one comes out? Would they all be taking time to be so familiar with each other in such a self-satisfied manner? Would they have as much time to wander around the members lawn at Royal Ascot, pissed up, letting life just happen around them?

Or to spend weekend after weekend taking pleasure in shooting at animals they aren’t even going to eat? I wonder. I wonder, Blog, if that special impression, that god given right, they bestow upon themselves, would still shine so brightly? NO! NO!! It would all be gone in a flash! And the look of suffering, for the first time, in their innocent eyes! Back in the piss-hole with the rest of us!!

In other news:

I am delighted that the Dundalk on-course bookmakers have won their legal battle against Dundalk Racecourse – who tried to take a disgraceful liberty. What happened was: the management tarted the track up a bit, and then thought that gave them the right to take the bookies pitches away, unless of course they paid an €8,000 fee for a ‘new’ pitch. WRONG. The bookies stood firm (something you rarely see) and challenged the track in court. The case rumbled on for years, the management racking up the legal fees in order to try and scare the bookies as to what they’d have to pay if they lost. Well, just for once, yet another group of leeches haven’t been able to score a hand-out for nothing off the bookies. They got beat – Rightly. They will lose a fortune in legal fees AND loss of earnings – Rightly. They have been made to look like the fools they are – Rightly. A big well done and Not-Staff rating goes out to Brian Graham (right) (of the Sean Graham family). In the UK there has always been secret little Judas’s that break rank. I just wish that other on-course bookies could see what can be achieved if they stick together against the authorities and regulators.

Have a nice Sunday, B x
