The OBR are to blame but what a shambles. That’s on top of the Government running various possible Budget policies up the flagpole and down again for weeks beforehand. But as usual, it’s the workers’ taxes subsidising the idle. Freezing tax allowances for even more years is increased taxation whichever way you look at it and a breach of their manifesto promise not to increase income tax. I don’t get this Two Child limit thing either. It was introduced in April 2017 and children born in that year are now 8. Why have people gone on banging out kids they can’t afford for 8 years? It’s morally irresponsible as well as financially irresponsible to bring kids into the world that you can’t give a reasonable standard of living. I can see there’s an issue with new families coming together with multiple kids when both parties have previously been divorced. The simple answer to that is to allow both parents to claim for two children they have custody of. That would allow 4 children to be supported in newly combined family units.
I've always wondered what happens when having twins to total three children in total....one gets an allowance the other doesn't....doesn't sound fair.
Great news https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c75vwevr652o and worse, that it wasn't necessary https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cyvg3en12r1o
I'm probably like a lot of folk these days in that I don't even bother to listen to budgets anymore. Grounds being I still have to pay whatever I'm told whether I agree with it or not and despite having the vote cannot change the fact that whoever is deciding on this years robery will do it anyway.
What a sad world we live in these days............ Mrs Plym and I where on our way home in a busy Bromley yesterday at about 5.30pm. Mrs Plym tripped over the pavement and went down quite heavily.....fortunately she didn't break any thing.....badly grazed her hand that she tried to save herself with....blood everywhere and eventually bad bruising developed on her fingers. Naturally she was quite winded and shaken up and laid there for two or three minutes to gain her breath. There where lots of people on there way home etc.....BUT not one person showed any interest in an elderly person laying on the pavement obviously in pain. I think Mrs Plym found that more hurtful than the injuries she suffered in the fall. As I said......What a sad world we live in these days.
You will be glad to know that YOUR PARTY has been formed......after great consultation they have decided on a name. This is the brain child of Jeremy Corbyn and Zara Sultana.....who at the moment are not talking....in fact she boycotted the meeting yesterday. During yesterdays meeting they started by throwing out unwanted members. The party will be controlled by ordinary people and not a single leader......(how the hell does that work). Calling this new left wing party.....Your Party......sounds rather ridicules to start with.....the obvious reply to such a title by many will be...."Oh no your not" But there will be many lefties in the Labour Party that might be drawn to it.....the Labour Party at the moment doesn't know which way to turn or look.....they now need to worry about ....Your Party...The Greens...and Reform....all who are taking voters away from them.
Monday morning dread....a windy day....Why ? Dustbin day....we're in the far corner of a cul-de-sac.....and badly packed bins allow the wind to blow plastic cartons and bottles etc....down the road and into my front garden and borders.....if I hear the dustbin truck coming down the cul-de-sac I nip out and have a quick clean up and put items into my bin that I never would have dreamt of buying........later in the week we quite often find other items that had blown into our borders and not at first been seen. The other corner of our cul-de-sac has an alleyway which is about 300 yards long and takes you to the main road (Buses etc)...saves you a ten minute plus walk.......this corner is slightly higher ground and never seems to get rubbish deposited in it. PS.....Yes today is windy....and also very wet......bleddy neighbours.
Further to the Monday bin collection.......Bins all been emptied....still wet and even windier than first thing this morning. Returned from Sainsbury's....and there where SEVEN green bins at the kerb edge at the end of the cul-de-sac where I am.....most houses have ONE maybe TWO bins.......two of them had a house number on from the beginning of the cul-de-sac.....about a 150 yards away.....so being a good little boy scout I took them back and rang the bell so that they would take them in.....because it was possible that they would skid past me on the way to my end of the cul-de-sac because of the strong wind......the other FIVE have no numbers on...so they will just stay there till some one comes looking.
