Where have all our taxes gone? Over the last 14 years? This is the real question. No new hospitals, no new schools, no new prisons, no new GP surgeries or doctors, nurses policemen - nothing! Its funny isnt it that we have more rich people and the rich have been getting richer and the poor poorer!

Where has our tax money gone??? We have The lowest corporate tax rate (for the rich) yet the highest income tax rate (for the poor) in history. More billionaires and food banks than there’s ever been. The wealth is still in the country it’s just harder to see when it’s domiciled in the tax havens of the rich and not being used to fix the infrastructure that they benefit from the most. The wealthy benefit financially from the most. They benefit financially from a healthy population from an educated workforce. The tories took the shortest NHS wait times in history and made them into the longest (and that was before the pandemic.) They flatlined our economic growth for a decade. They raised our taxes they tripled our debt they sold off our infrastructure to their mates and threw parties while we couldn’t bury our loved ones, that their incompetence killed. A misguided ideology of hate and privilege. Shame on everyone who repeatedly voted Tory and allowed this to happen to our public sector. Shame on them for the state of the NHS, the economy our boarders, our military, our schools and our prisons.

So we are glossing over Trumps gaffs? He can't remember the leaders of his own country or his own party! And "Bing bang bing whoosh." Trump asks questions like "why can't we use nuclear weapons?" Inserting "light into the body." Get real people, Biden is a genius compared to Trump!

I found "covfefe" one of the most damning things about Trump, albeit seemingly small. We all make mistakes. Typos, grammatical errors and the like. Fat fingers, small screens, quick replies, right? But it was his inability to laugh it off and post what he really meant that showed me he was an arrogant, unrepentant and unapologetic man.

And it’s cheaper to just give child support to everyone. You don’t have to have large bureaucracy that checks the applications and chases cheaters. On balance you save money, in addition to spare kids being singled out as poor.

Correct. I earn 60k so don't get anything yet on the bread line and kids get nothing but other family who have couple that work on 40k each get the benifit. Child benifit shouldn't be based on parent earning it shouldn't be means tested.
@Sherluck93
Ай бұрын
? Child benefit is for the child's benefit solely. When the parents don't earn enough, they get subsidized so that the child can have their needs met. If you earn enough, you should be able to care for your child by yourself. The social net, everybody pays in and when in need you can take out, is a zero sum game. It's not a bonus you get for having a child.
@Sherluck93

Maybe I mistunderstood what you really mean. But 60k is 5k per month... Also, wdym, of course needs have to be calculated on joint income! Is there enough to support the children, or not? The triplets question was interesting, as well, with a cap for support at two.

Run a hot-bed system in prisons, on an eight hour shift. You can get three times the prisoners into each gaol. Human rights? Well, the Tories were gagging to get rid of our membership of that movement if I recall correctly? One shift sleeping, one shift outside in the yard, the other inside the general area. Nightmare?
