To clarify your point about civil disobedience. White people can't be allowed to carry out civil disobedience but every other race can. So, if others can, why can't Brits?
'Civil disobedience' is a euphemism for violent and destructive riots! British taxpayers are charged for cleanup and vehicle replacement/ rebuilding costs! The Gov should allow peaceful protests like the Freedom March but they want to silence everyone who protests about their loss of rights etc.
There are plenty of forms of civil disobedience that dont require you to destroy infrastructure and burn things to the ground. Its your own fault for picking the most violent and self defeating recourse as a first option.

It took just a couple of months to get back to the bad old days of Labour. Taxes up, strikes, massive public sector pay rises and social unrest. Blair had a war chest to spaff away. Terrifyingly, Starlim has a deficit.
I was public sector in education and got 1% several times. 1% of not a lit is not a lot. Was maths faculty. Don't get me wrong I'm not advocating for huge rises for some workers. We all know that some are on very good wages however, they're insisting on even more.
@juliaogara8794 I worked in the private sector for companies literally making billions and went multiple years with 0%. Wages in the UK have stagnated for the last 20 years. Only the public sector gets to pretend that's not a thing. Sure 22% here 4 day week there, why not... oh, and for services that are collapsing.
Yet not as much of a 🤡party compared to the 🤡Party that was in power for the last 14 years of Nothing except enrich their cronies and their backers 🤦♂️Oh Dear!
The public sector pension liabilities are about the same as a single years GDP of the entire United Kingdom, as well as the public sector workers having an above inflation pay rise, so this is of no surprise.
However, we got 1% rises at times. If you work park time in a school on support side, (HLTA status). You're expected to work as a teacher but not get anywhere near the same wage. As a term time only contract, it gives the benefits of equal pay across the year but obviously lower per month pro rota. I do agree about the pension side as you get a lump sum and a pension if been in a scheme for many years. There is significant imperfections in the running and organising of every investment/payout scheme.

you could say that about most of the country as they clap for the NHS, take furlough money and put pressure on government to lockdown without thinking about the economic risks over it.
Its a real shame that the government doesn't put as much effort into creating growth as it does finding new taxes. Because the situation were in now...its the only way out for the population. We have to get richer as a country. Not find ways to tax the money that has already been taxed.
The reality is you either have to accept higher taxation and immigration control or we will be back to high immigration and high taxation. We cannot have the NHS available and properly funded without higher taxation, we are not fools.
No it's not just taxes, what people want, what the majority want is a fair safe country to live in not an unequal divided state, if the country was moving in that direction with a leader they could identify with and trust and the will of the people could be seen to be done, higher taxes short term would be acceptable.

We need the government to be massively cut, not to grow. We need a bigger private sector for growth, but instead of cutting big government to move it to the private sector, they will just fill the country with immigrants in the hope of growing the economy off their backs. It will not work.
We have an anemic growth. Mythological workers and a government that is behaving like children on Christmas day. We need "Reform" to take over Britain. To help us back to a starting point of reason.

@@Eleventhearlofmars lol okay. I personally would not rely on the political class they are all as bad as each other thats why there was a very low turn out. But you should also look at how Reform was funded and how it was a business with accounts at companies house.
@@Eleventhearlofmars well it depends what you want to fix? lets be clear, governments over the past 30 years have allowed the UK to decline due to short term thinking. I grew up under labour, I remember when Blair came in to office, John Major left en economy in good shape. Labour went on the spending spree, and 2008 financial crises was the result. However in 1994 one would have tought that John Major would have held a referendum about the EU? Labour are not any better, and why do you think Reform will make any changes? I believe they might have good intentions but the country is broke, so nothing will be fixed until there is more radical changes such as cutting benefits for all. They seem to be attempting to lower the spending power of the GBP this would make GDP look like its going up due to currency devaluation and so goods and services become more expensive. This is how the political class think I believe. Here however is my view, all the electorate are, are just people in the way for politicians to get in office. I realised this in 2008 when I did the silly thing of renting a room in a HMO and trying to save for a deposit on a house. Once they did QE and ZIRP, many over indebted got the bail out, while savers got taken for a ride. Reason being is that most people seem to have more debt than savings. I came to the conclusion that no politician is going to fix the issue of currency devaluation, they actually want it to devalue by 2% every year. But ask yourself, if we had sound money, would we have half the problems we have today? Reform might want to try and contol immigration, but how will they do it? and do you think their plan is realistic? I for one do not, while all those that run those hotels get bailed out by government. They dont need tourists any more. I did vote, many were telling me to vote for labour and how great it would be etc etc. I did not vote for labour or conservative. In any case, I made some good investments well over a decade ago, funny enough my work colleagues at the time were telling me how dumb I was. go figure
seperatly, I have my own 3 bed house in the SE today. Sure its mortgages, on a 10 yea fix at 3%. I earn more in my investments and savings - so was not good to pay it off. However I position myself, today that if I get hit, well most of the population get hit harder. I only have one vote, but doing what is best for the long term of the country is opposite of what voters want. Welcome to democracy.
Full Sutton Prison in Yorkshire is currently having a large extension built which will hold 1500 prisoners. It is one of several such projects currently underway or planned, aimed at increasing capacity by up to 20,000, by the end of this decade. No doubt Labour will claim the credit for this.
to pay off our national debt every adult would have to pay around £45,000 or every taxpayer would have to pay around £80,000,that doesnt make good reading
You can't have both - budgets haven't increased anywhere near demand for schools, or nhs for the last decade; likewise public salary cuts meant staff leaving nhs & schools to go abroad, meaning higher agency nurse / doctor costs. Meanwhile we're borrowing £100 Bn, and paying £100 Bn in interest because austerity killed growth in 2011, meaning the national debtm more than doubled before covid & Ukraine heating costs - but ni was cut & funded by even more borrowing
Tories opened three or four prisons that I can think of - HMPs Berwyn, Oakwood, Fosse Way, Five Ways... all privately run but these are VERY big jails.
You want effective services, you have to make careers attractive. High stress, low pay does make a career attractive. Hence the shortages. The jobs the "foreigners " were taking off British people.
Somebody is responsible for the dire state of the NHS, who is/are these people? Who is in charge and who has allowed the NHS ro become a laughing stock. A public enquiry manned by Lee Anderson, Sir John Timpson for a start and not a bunch of useless civil servants looking after their own jobs.
What does the new minister for prisons Lord Timpson think about locking up people for things posted on social media ? He said half the people in prison shouldn't be there before he was appointed. How does that fit with locking up grandmothers who posted something dodgy or someone who "watched" a protest Lord Timpson ?
I cant stand Starmer, but expecting him to turn around an economically ruined nation within a month is a bit of a reach. Nobody knows how to fix this..not the best economists in the world, not any politician, nobody. The world is too complex now for simplistic fixes.

This is how the political class think I believe. Here however is my view, all the electorate are, are just people in the way for politicians to get in office. I realised this in 2008 when I did the silly thing of renting a room in a HMO and trying to save for a deposit on a house. Once they did QE and ZIRP, many over indebted got the bail out, while savers got taken for a ride. Reason being is that most people seem to have more debt than savings. I came to the conclusion that no politician is going to fix the issue of currency devaluation, they actually want it to devalue by 2% every year. But ask yourself, if we had sound money, would we have half the problems we have today? Reform might want to try and contol immigration, but how will they do it? and do you think their plan is realistic? I for one do not, while all those that run those hotels get bailed out by government. They dont need tourists any more.
I did vote, many were telling me to vote for labour and how great it would be etc etc. I did not vote for labour or conservative. In any case, I made some good investments well over a decade ago, funny enough my work colleagues at the time were telling me how dumb I was. go figure
seperatly, I have my own 3 bed house in the SE today. Sure its mortgages, on a 10 yea fix at 3%. I earn more in my investments and savings - so was not good to pay it off. However I position myself, today that if I get hit, well most of the population get hit harder. I only have one vote, but doing what is best for the long term of the country is opposite of what voters want. Welcome to democracy.
Nothing will be cheaper with Labour they will just but everything up.

Country already bankrupt Mike. Best thing to do now is look after number 1
I government proofed my finances many years ago. I haven't trusted any of them for such a long time.
nothing ever goes down,unless it's out of date or a coffin
Full Sutton Prison in Yorkshire is currently having a large extension built which will hold 1500 prisoners. It is one of several such projects currently underway or planned, aimed at increasing capacity by up to 20,000, by the end of this decade. No doubt Labour will claim the credit for this.
to pay off our national debt every adult would have to pay around £45,000 or every taxpayer would have to pay around £80,000,that doesnt make good reading
Borrowing to pay the unions off
You can't have both - budgets haven't increased anywhere near demand for schools, or nhs for the last decade; likewise public salary cuts meant staff leaving nhs & schools to go abroad, meaning higher agency nurse / doctor costs. Meanwhile we're borrowing £100 Bn, and paying £100 Bn in interest because austerity killed growth in 2011, meaning the national debtm more than doubled before covid & Ukraine heating costs - but ni was cut & funded by even more borrowing
Tories opened three or four prisons that I can think of - HMPs Berwyn, Oakwood, Fosse Way, Five Ways... all privately run but these are VERY big jails.
Rainbow hotpabts, made me laugh out loud. Sime humour in the news conversations is always greatly welcome. Thank you🙂
You want effective services, you have to make careers attractive.
High stress, low pay does make a career attractive.
Hence the shortages. The jobs the "foreigners " were taking off British people.
Got to pay your Union buddies
Government is supposed to make life better for people not hard and miserable all the time
Somebody is responsible for the dire state of the NHS, who is/are these people? Who is in charge and who has allowed the NHS ro become a laughing stock. A public enquiry manned by Lee Anderson, Sir John Timpson for a start and not a bunch of useless civil servants looking after their own jobs.
Best stock up the food banks
Everybody should stock up.
Heard the border were going on strike,they’ve been on strike for the last 20 odd years mate
its as if we need less government?
We need less of this government, that's for sure.
Thought they were trying to recover £90 billion.
How much have they spent on all these pay rises. Debt not coming down, but going up very fast.
Guess who they’re recovering it from? Pensioners and the lowest paid workers.
England like Alcatraz
You welcome in
But you can't get out
😂
Each time you create a credit, you simultaneously create a debt, cancelling each other out.
In absolute terms, money doesn't exist.
Agree all made up but people still think banks lend money out .
What does the new minister for prisons Lord Timpson think about locking up people for things posted on social media ? He said half the people in prison shouldn't be there before he was appointed. How does that fit with locking up grandmothers who posted something dodgy or someone who "watched" a protest Lord Timpson ?
Tax the rich pay the poor, simple.
don't expect Monotone Mary change the direction of travel the tories was travelling higher taxes less services
Borrowing money to hand out to illegals, immigrant welfare, foreign aid, climate assistance to Africa.
Whilst claiming to have none to fix the state of our streets and lack of services

It the working class that wilĺ suffer
I cant stand Starmer, but expecting him to turn around an economically ruined nation within a month is a bit of a reach. Nobody knows how to fix this..not the best economists in the world, not any politician, nobody. The world is too complex now for simplistic fixes.
Don't begrudge our fireman/women having a pay rise bloody dangerous job.
Driving a train isn’t though.
Didnt wales stop the 20 mile hour crap
