Why do Knackers have more rights than us?

Do the government know where they built the bungalows for them or did the 'members' put them up on wheels and tow them off somewhere?

The latter clearly :rolleyes:

Seriously though, I was referring to those without fixed abodes. As I said. So that's ones without bungalows, et cetera. How do taxes work in such cases?

What is a 'pikey'?


EDIT: re-read your post. I presume it means a traveller.

Well let's see, they've no address so they can't pay tax yet they can still claim the dole. How about if you have no address then you don't get the dole? If they want to screw the state over, it can work both ways. There's always fingerprint scanning technology that could be used to verify people's identities if they had no address.

ID Cards, and a fully integrated governmental system.
You don't need a fixed abode to be issued with a PPSN. You ID the guy, if he has he card, you do a background check. Revenue report wanting to speak to this guy re: his income, so the Gardai quietly make a note of where he is, and the next day the revenue arrive down with some Gardai and start asking questions. If he has no ID card, you arrest him, take him down the station, fingerprint/retina scan him to get his PPSN, or issue him with a new one and an ID card if he hasn't got a PPSN.

And so on.

Or the Government could just cut off their social welfare, which I think is the most logical course of action. If you can get social welfare, there's no reason why you can't pay tax, and vice-versa. If you choose not to be involved in this nation's financial system, then you can piss off and earn your money yourself as far as I'm concerned.
