Conservatives seeing fraudsters make off with nearly £5Bn in COVID fraud – I’ll pretend I didn’t see that
Also Conservatives:
We’re gunna Raise your taxes to cover the debt incurred by COVID .
You know, I usually like to be wined and dined before I’m fucked.
You just have to love how they keep saying “There is no magic money tree” yet somehow found 37 billion to spend on the disastrous test and trace system which cost more than this tax rise will generate in 3 years.
Might as well just give them what’s left of my paypacket after the bills have come out.
At least leave me a couple of quid for a Greggs Sausage Roll.
Where do you think all the money not anymore coming from exports to the EU is going to appear from? Japan??
Brexit is going to build a wall along the Channel and it is going to be paid by brexiteers.
I’ve seen this said three times in the last few days by various MPs.
I’m expecting another U-turn, since a new budget, increasing food costs, increased energy cap and an NI raise will lead to new poll tax riots.
The government should have not given money out left right and centre this is terrible . people should have gone back to work I’m furious !!!!
I’m sure the £350m per week ‘straight to the NHS’ after leaving the EU would help. Right Boris?
Ah the old no magic money tree excuse.
Funny though there was a magic money tree for Dido and her completely inept test and trace.
There was also one for all of the contracts for missing or invalid PPI they gave to their mates.
There was also one for the COVID loans that were handed out to anyone at all with zero checks.
So this magic money tree must also be able to phase in and out of existence.
In shocked they gave people on benefits £20 pounds extra now the taxes have to go up . wile there is jobs available . because EU citizens going back they should fill the gap in the labour market.
“but the last Labour government”
“It would be worse under Labour”
Fucking Toxic Tories, Write off the stolen Covid money
just tax the working man more to pay for it, the NI raise on high earner is minimal compared to the poorer people…
if you are a Tory member, or voter, fuck you,
you did this.
Key workers shouldn’t be paying a thing, only those Furloughed benefited, your life was protected, and for many your job was kept safe, now you should be the ones paying for it.
​
And don’t cry discrimination, Key workers were working during the lockdowns, Non essentials are still shitting themselves over the thought of getting on a crowded train to go back to the office.
Jesus fuck, in the last few months NI has gone up, so has my food bill, electricity and internet, my wages next right? Right??
This government is finished. There is a hell of a lot of grassroots anger I don’t think they realise exists. Its obvious the conservatives are treating their voters like idiots! The May elections are going to be an absolute bloodbath for them.
Is the current govt situation just some epic social experiment on how much a nation will put up with?
Does anyone remember the eat out to help out scheme?
Tories: we spend £350m per week on the EU. Let’s give it to our Oxbridge chums instead.
Also Tories: the party of low tax and fiscal responsibility.
All the money in the world from corporations lobbying politician’s, insider trade, VAT hikes, house market gone wild, tax write offs, hand outs, borrowing, party donations, and fuck know what else, and they want to charge US more. Fuck these cretins people need to start standing up now against them, just remember it’s the 99% vs the 1%
If they don’t reverse this, I’m going to damage gov property, It’ll cost them more in the long run.
60 days to go. Get ready to be fucked. Remember this and vote these fuckers out in 2024.
This is absolutely wrong. Successive governments have failed to produce a proper system for living in this country. The cost of living is ruining people’s lives.
This country is heading for disaster. So many people were already living paycheck to paycheck. People don’t have this extra money spare. Bills rising, food rising, tax rising.
If they want to raise the national insurance percentage they need to raise the floor threshold it’s paid at. Some full time workers can barely afford to live as it is.
At this point what am i living for? Working 3 jobs paycheck to paycheck, not even thinking about pension as the thames will have risen and killed us off long before i’m 70, or whatever age they move the goalpost to.
The Conservatives have genuinely become a leftist meme of a right wing government, it’s honestly pathetic how useless they are.
Electronic Arts payed zero in corporation tax in the UK a few years ago (and for all I know, they’re still doing it), whilst selling millions of copies of Fifa, The Sims, and Battlefield at £50 a pop (not to mention their Star Wars game monopoly), and making even more money from FIFA and Madden coins that are downright unregulated gambling. But no, Doris the dinner lady really should be paying more tax, shouldn’t she? The corporations pay zero tax, and it’s our fault when the government waste all their money on parties and stupid campaign buses. Fuck you Boris, you absolute melon
Just imagine how much worse chaos with Ed Miliband would have been, or *drumroll* Jeremy Corbyn. I’m sure glad we avoided both of those outcomes. A /s seems inadequate at this point so imagine Jeremy Clarksons smug face and you’ll get the idea.
This is why I don’t read/watch the news or keep up on politics. I just get infuriated over something I have no control over.
If someone can just let me know when we decide to overthrow this antiquated system of being perpetually governed by people ultimately out for their own good and the good of their kind (the wealthy and extremely privileged)
The problem with conservatism is that you eventually run out of public services to flog off to your mates.
Part of me hopes that Boris was actually this pro-EU socialist mastermind pretending to be a right-wing buffoon all this time, pulling 4D galaxy-brain chess moves with the goal of sabotaging the Conservative Party from the inside out. This is probably not the case and he really is that clueless and desperate to cling on to power…
More tax increases will make him far more unpopular than he already is, and he’s already surpassed May levels of unpopularity. At the same time I think it would take something especially shitty to drive him to Thatcher levels.
I wonder what the straw that broke the camel’s back is going to be with this government. We’ve seen inflation hikes, logistics shortages, worker shortages, two years of national lockdowns and erosions of civil liberties while the Tories are throwing their own exclusive private parties, tax hikes, welfare cuts and all with one of the highest death tolls in Europe.
Next election will be interesting-as-fuck if Boris somehow clings on until 2024, or if things turn out so bad that the government gets shot down by a VONC. And you know for damn sure that Scotland will get indyref2 and support for Sinn Fein will skyrocket.
I’m actually looking forward to Starmer becoming PM, because it *is* going to happen at this rate.
Ahh so it’s war then
Pol tax riots round 2? Who’s ready!?
I dare the Tories to increase the basic income tax rate instead of the NI rares.
I can’t believe they have the gall to use the line ‘there’s no magic money tree’
They’re just laughing in our faces now.
If their polling figures don’t drop into the 20s when people realise they’re worse off in April then I despair.
I can’t even get a gp appointment and yet I have to pay for even more national insurance for a state I can’t even access. Beggars belief.
Heard this on the BBC Newscast podcast from the other day as well.
Just heard the Tory cunts on the radio laying the blame for the rise on the NHS and their backlogs, nothing else the NHS, I’m fucking raging, how anyone voted for these fucks is beyond me. Any of you labour voters who changed due to “brexit’ shame on you.
Of course they couldn’t possibly raise the money with a progressive tax that targets the super rich rather than every worker and business in the country.
[Sucks in air through teeth]… but cwwwaaaarr… imagine if Labour got in!?
If this had happened in France, you’d see riots and manifestations. Has the British people become complacent? I’m not saying we should grab the pitchforks and torches, but shouldn’t we be making our voices heard?
5 billion in COVID fraud and 37 billion spunked up the wall on the useless wank and trace scheme.
Political parties also giving huge contracts to their friends, which were ruled illegal but the courts.
No one held to account for any of it.
Yet I have to now pay more for there fuck ups👌.
People who already work in Health and Social Care should be exempt from paying the Health and Social Care Tax.
Otherwise it’s just robbing the poor to pay the poor.
Oh, i see. I work for my cash and have had no work for most of this month because zero hour contract. I get a rise of National Insurance tax whilst getting a small rise in April because NMW is supposed to change. Instead of £9.50 giving me more cash, I can expect to see that £9.50 per hour get reduced to something like what i’m currently on.
​
Fuck it. Just take all of my cash. Put me in a workhouse and work me to death. At least, that would be more honest.
