The Labour Government

[Palerider]

So Covid lockdown, which mostly affected and killed the elderly cost us between 300 and 450 billion. The winter fuel allowance change, which will mostly kill and affect the elderly, will save us 1.5 billion. The 1.5 billion saved will partly be spent on doctors pay who, presumably, will be spending an increased amount of time looking after the cold affected elderly. Why the fuck did we spend 300 to 450 billion on Covid precautions when we obviously only have a superficial concern for elderly peoples lives?

Not a chance they means test the state pension for those who have paid in, what do you suddenly do to those receiving it, oh you’ve got a personal pension we will take back that £12k you’re entitled to, not way that’s happening, all that will happen is those working would fuck off personal pensions thinking why should I bother, I’d be saving the cash and sticking in something else they can use against me.

They won't take away the whole 12 k ,but they might say that you already have an income of £10 k from a private/works pension, so you don't need the full state pension, therefore we reduce your state pension to 8k.
Labour has a huge majority in The Commons and they can virtually introduce any legislation they want to.
After all, I don't think anyone would have guessed that they would have scrapped WFP , it's come completely out of the blue.

No one told me when I started my job in 1999 that Tory scum would take 30%+ off my wage over a 14 year period just so they could "staff it up the wall" or give into party owners.

You will be paying a lot more than that by the time these lying bastards are finished

Because they have offered them a over the top pay rise, my missus works for the NHS and probably works harder then any Junior doctor, she has worked for them as a nurse for 40 years and will probably get 5%,so don't talk bollocks about something you know fuck all about eh

Dear oh dear, you are hurting. You said they wouldn't budge but what you meant to say was the Tories were not prepared to be grown up and even attempt to sort it.

Oh, my daughter works in the NHS so stop trying to be clever thinking you know it all

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Honestly haven’t got a clue other than some of the big corporations don’t pay income tax in this country as they reside out of the UK. To be fair they will probably withdraw their businesses and go elsewhere which creates unemployment, everything has a kickback but for once it may be a fairer system than we’ve had for a long time.

This is such a bullshit threat for the most part though. The reality is that if you want to sell coffee to British people, you have to have coffee shops in Britain. If you want to deliver packages to people in Britain, your warehouse has to be in Britain. If companies are bullshitting their profits by hiding them offshore, then tax their assets. If they leave, plenty of other businesses will be willing to take their place. Ones that actually pay their taxes. Starbucks creates zero jobs, because every penny that is spent there is a penny that's not spent in another cafe. Starbucks failed miserably in Italy and Australia, and they still have a vibrant coffee industry that employs thousands of people. Anything that genuinely can be produced anywhere has long since left, and tax had nothing to do with it, labour costs did (and more recently, ease of doing business with the EU).

If your under 30 I very much doubt you will get a state pension , currently there are 12.8 million pensioners by 2050 it will be 20 million

The Labour party have come to collect their tears and their taxes and we're leaving with both.

It probably won't be long before a few of them start living in the woods or caves waiting for the end times or plotting to overthrow the government.
