    So you’re telling me that: -

    • Income Tax
    • National Insurance
    • Corporation Tax
    • Capital Gains Tax
    • Council Tax
    • VAT
    • Excise Duty
    • Fuel Duty
    • Stamp Duty
    • Air Passenger Duty
    • Insurance Premium Tax
    • Green Taxes
    • Gambling Taxes
    • Plastic Bag Charges
    • Carbon Emissions Levy
    • Landfill Tax
    • TV Licence Fee
    • Congestion Charges
    • Sugar Tax
    • Now VAT on Private School Fees
    STILL isn’t enough to fund public services, roads and schools?

    Meanwhile, the government is:
    • Freezing income tax thresholds (dragging millions into higher bands)
    • Hiking council tax bands
    • Raising Capital Gains Tax
    • Upping employer National Insurance
    • Killing off the non-dom regime
    • Hiking Stamp Duty on second homes
    • Freezing inheritance tax thresholds
    • Planning cuts to pension tax relief
    • Looking at scrapping or limiting your £20,000 tax-free ISA allowance (so even your savings aren’t safe)

    Taxed when you earn.
    Taxed when you spend.
    Taxed when you save.
    Taxed when you die.

    How is this normal?

    Good riddance, they all pay minimal tax anyway, through offshore shenanigans.

    That's uninformed leftist crap.

    The top 1% earners contribute 30% of the UKs tax take
    The top 0.01% contribute 6%.

    But yeah, good riddance, more africans please.

    Millionaires tend to pay the most tax. They also buy high-end, British-made goods, which means decent jobs in manufacturing across the country.

    Sure, some are crafty with their taxes, but it's still better to retain them than see their spending powers shifted overseas.

    It's a crying shame that our little nation has turned so crummy.

    Tax is **** - but seeing as folk of a certain ilk, want to shower those "unfortunate" with other peoples money, via the huge, bloated, corrupted and inefficient British State then we are all paying an eye-watering amount of tax, and getting less and less for it.

    The system is crap, but they dont give a **** because they literally hate us.

    The reality is there, but they've befuddled your minds with immigrants.

    Again.

    Do you think we have enough migrants in this country or should we import more?

    Or maybe we should utilise our own human resources more effectively?

    Genuine questions.

    I honestly don't know.

    If they all spoke English and were white, how bothered would some people be?

    What?

    I've been to two immigration hearing for two 15yo boys from Angola who used to play for the football team I used to run.

    I literally helped them stay in the country.

    I've had Eritreans, Sudanese, Moroccans, Russians, Poles, Romanians all work for me so I've not been befuddled at all.

    I despise being ruled by absolute scumbags and then have folk cheering on as they literally ransack the exchequer for their own benefit as they jail ****s for tweets.

    The UK has turned into an Orwell Novel.

    You should try reading one.

    Speaking English would be a good start. I'm not sure colour matters, as long as the quality is there.

    Trouble is, we are importing people we simply do not need. Everything is gummed up now, whether it be housing, hospitals, schools, prisons, the welfare state.

    Migration should pay for itself, but it doesn't anymore. It costs us untold billions each year. Only an imbecile would be happy to pay for it.

    How many Brits are claiming benefits in Somalia? How many of our people are languishing in Polish nicks? It's all one-way traffic and it stinks.

    On a brighter note, I just took delivery of the finest Ethiopian beans. Lovely.

    The world has changed. It's never changing back. Embrace it or live in perceived misery.

    It's utterly heartbreaking to think how much this country has changed over the last decade. It is now a midden. Successive governments have wrecked our birthright.

    Of course you are right - it is never changing back. There is nothing to embrace, other than crime and degradation. I'd rather not throw my arms around it. Instead, I'll go elsewhere and see if I can find a haven.
