Ohm and Away

No patience with people who moan, wish ill on the U.K., or harbour grudges. All my views. Except for those my wife told me to have.

I know you won’t read this @elonmusk but the Model 3 I picked up in the U.K. yesterday has to be the single best thing I’ve ever bought in my life.

Top man.... @Tesla

@JeremyClarkson Hope you were watching the BMW PGA golf!

You have a massive fan in @JJSpaun!

He just won the competition and name checked you so you owe that man a Hawkstone, Jeremy!

@DamianLow3 This just shows why, rather than lower the voting age, we'd be better served introducing an IQ test.

[Ohm and Away @davethequiz]

@AlanDormand @nowak_paul What part of 'we have a Labour Government that hates wealthy people' appears incorrect.

Would YOU come back? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Ohm and Away @davethequiz]

@EdwardTHardy @IvanEyedeah Yep. Excessive taxes (and unreasonable inflexibility over a VAT dispute) imposed by yet another of your Labour Governments.

Thanks for reminding us that Labour always drives business, and the tax revenues they generate, overseas.

Quite the record.

[Ohm and Away @davethequiz]

@EdwardTHardy A successful British businessman can express his opinion whenever, and from wherever, he wishes.

After all, he understands business and the economy better than any single one of the idiots in Government.

@JimmyMcd62 Hey, you, Jimmy!

Get your facts straight and stop talking pish.

There's a good chap.

[Ohm and Away @davethequiz]

@DavidPintoD @griffitha 'Supporting business' by increasing NI and the threshold at which it is paid?

Creating an environment where there are 100's more applicants than there are jobs?

Tax rates inexorably climbing?

Classic Labour. Eternal tax and lies.

[Ohm and Away @davethequiz]

@tonyannett Every opponent of inheritance tax simply hates being bled dry by a Labour Government who simply wants to spaff it up a wall without once earning or deserving it.

People are sick of it, and we're sick of you.

[Ohm and Away @davethequiz]

@XelenX1 If I work hard, do well, save my money to give myself peace of mind that my family will be financially secure, why the hell should a bunch of leftists, who did precisely nothing to help me, take a chunk of it away?

Classic Labour. I want what others have, but without the effort.
