People might actually admit to not giving a toss about religion rather than putting CofE on the census if they thought they'd have to pay extra tax to do so. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48734#post-140529 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 10:35:38 +0000 Not Amused 140529@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Oh yes, sorry Sir Lupus .. didn't see the sub. I like it and I am not really a good author so I doubt I can improve it ! .. </p> <p>Thanks Mr Hat, I had missed the income tax bill bit. Harry Potter is still cheaper .. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48734#post-140528 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 10:22:43 +0000 charlies_hat 140528@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It's the church at its best to say "Pay up or you'll go to hell" - although there is a long history of this kind of formal payment to churches - even in UK. The sad thing is, people will continue to pay due to the fear created by these shitty imaginary fairy stories.</p> <p>Not as bad as it seems though, it's 8% of the persons income tax bill, not 8% extra income tax (just for the pedants out there). </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48734#post-140526 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 10:17:28 +0000 Sir Lupus 140526@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>great minds think alike...</p> <p><a href="http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48586" rel="nofollow">http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48586</a></p> <p>although it's a bit too reliant on the obvious stereotypes, and could perhaps be cut down a bit to be punchier. Feel free to use bits of it if you want to have a go! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48734#post-140524 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 09:48:04 +0000 Not Amused 140524@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I read this last night and thought it was a joke initially. German religious groups really do pay an extra 8-9% income tax which goes to their church. </p> <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-19737983" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-19737983</a></p> <p>Not sure if there is a sub there somewhere </p>
