  1. Hypothetical here, are you happy to see the retirement age keep rising, that much so you work until you drop or would you accept working until 40-50 in exchange for 20-30 years of happy retirement before being put down at 70? Lol
  2. Living standards are at their worst, it's understandable. We have an ever ageing population and the percentage of the population that is earning is shrinking. I've brought up mandatory euthanasia before, perhaps it's time to discuss this? Lol
  3. No, I said the mega rich, corporations should take more of the brunt, and seeing as though it's the bottom feeders that need it most, I find it confusing that you and Charts don't agree with it.
  4. Exactly like that, but their struggles were still very real and what you're failing to understand, it was the ruin of our industries that caused these places to slowly deteriorate, we were just going through the start.
  5. Ok, so, taxes have no use whatsoever, they don't help keep the country running? I think that bog air has completely messed with your mind mate, you're not living in reality.
  6. You must have veg for brains, "it's alright love, I know I lost my job down the pit but at least I've got mi allotment and mi lurcher." Lol I can't believe the thousands of miners who lost their jobs tried to find work after such a blessing. Lol
  7. Well no shit, that's a given as our population is at its highest, still, our tax revenue is less than the developed countries in the EU. But, yes, you have a point, the taxes we raise clearly aren't doing a good enough job, my solutions, I don't know, but I do know we will suffer the brunt whatever is done.
  8. What is the benefit? I presume every man hates tax as much as the next man, but how else do you we suggest we raise revenue?
  9. Hahahaha, yeah we had freedom, because no cnut had a job! Fantastic stuff mate. You're looking at it through a child's eyes. Now look at it from a father's perspective, mid 80's, you're made unemployed, Christmas coming up, three kids, struggling to make ends meet, do you think you would give a toss about 40 years down the line where you might have less "freedom?"
  10. Look, listen, the UK has been a mess for years now, well before Labour got in power.
  11. Yeah, it was great under the Tories in the 80's and 90's, especially in villages like mine, one would think they had our best interests at heart, what with shutting down our industries and leaving thousands in search of jobs, the good old days. You clearly weren't blessed with any brains at all. Lol
  12. ‘Wealth taxes will cause the rich to flee’: 12 wealth tax myths debunked - Tax Justice UK https://taxjustice.uk/blog/wealth-taxes-will-cause-the-rich-to-flee-12-wealth-tax-myths-debunked/
  13. I'm not talking about the farmer or the small time trader, I'm talking about multinational corporations, the abuse of limited liability within our economy, the mega rich who exploit tax havens, etc.
  14. Or are our governments frightened to death to tax the feck out of big businesses like they do in developed countries across the EU?
  15. Think it's skunk mate.
  16. He said much more, that a discussion about her is warranted, however uncomfortable that may be. He's turning more liberal by the day, reform in red, what you reckon? Lol
  17. Come on mate, we know we just go off headlines on here. Lol But, seriously, it's a consideration, she was how old, 15, one could say she was groomed perhaps, I can think of many scenarios where she would be given a pass for being a victim.
  18. Farage supports the idea of allowing Shamima Begum back in the country. Sensible thinking or is he losing the plot? https://www.itv.com/news/2025-01-10/nigel-farage-says-government-should-consider-allowing-shamima-begum-back-home
  19. Quick look at a few jobs in't Canada, the rates look similar to over here, perhaps slightly less, is the cost of living slightly more over there as well? Some stunning views over there mind, could see myself on a turquoise lake in the summer.
  20. Looks like someone is obsessed with them being reintroduced in Scotland.
  21. Nope, still in the must try harder category.
  22. I've got relations there on my nans side, does that count. They asked her to visit a few decades back but never got around to it, bet she would have enjoyed it the lass.
  23. Can't you potty train a coursing bred like Mr Jinx?
