Wonder if Clarkson and Hawkston lager,gives you ideas if growing malting barley,@no1sunkfarmer @wheat_daddy @agricontract interesting concept to upset the likes of Carlsberg and Heineken. youtu.be/EKros8U_RfU?si=h_9g…

The state pension is not a random government favour, it’s the back end of a 35–40 year compulsory “contract” where people are forced to hand over National Insurance on the clear promise of a basic pension at the end. Politicians and think tanks helped design an unfunded, pay‑as‑you‑go system where today’s workers pay today’s pensioners, then have the gall to call it “unsustainable” as if the public dreamt it up. If a private firm sold you a retirement product on fixed terms, took your money for four decades, then announced at 66 that you “didn’t really need it” and would henceforth be means‑tested or frozen, they would be in court for mis‑selling and fraud. The crisis here is not pensioners “leeching off the young”, it’s a political class that built a Ponzi‑style NI system, diverted the proceeds for other spending, and now wants to default on the people who kept their side of the bargain. You do not blame the victims of a defective product for believing the brochure; you go after the people who wrote it.

Biggest regret of my life,having the Pfizer COVID vaccines……sadly all part of the WTO Agenda2030 plan 😡

In the supermarket and wondering if I should buy these Brewdog beers as an investment. Could be collectors items soon.

The hidden side,nobody talks about.

Well this has thrown a cat amongst the pigeons Who are going with ? Political Valentines Poll.. Please retweet when your vote is cast.

Tax. We’ve all become so used to it, we forget how much we’re actually paying. It is relentless, even beyond death. And for what? If we had a semblance of functioning public services, I could maybe stomach it. But we don’t, so what are we actually paying all of this money for? We are subject to Scandinavian levels of tax for third-world levels of competence - what a toilet deal. Earn a salary. Income tax, a fifth gone before we’ve even started. National insurance, more on top of that. What for? A ‘world-class’ health service? The NHS? Ha. Good luck. Even getting to work costs - taxes on buying a car, running a car, insuring a car. Vast amount of road tax. Is that being well spent? Unless you want potholes you can paddle in, the answer is no. A road network built for half the amount of cars. How’s that going? It takes twice as long to get anywhere. Fuel duty and tax on insurance - whack that on top too. Congestion charges, tolls, fines and more. It goes on and on and on. Forget getting the train, that’ll cost twice as much and never runs on time - a season ticket into London costs thousands. Unaffordable. Yet the trains so often run empty? Maybe that system isn’t working… VAT on anything that moves - getting taxed to buy products/services, from already taxed money. Tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax. Then more tax. Did you go to university? Your ‘loan’ isn’t loan, it’s a tax. Interest is so sharp, you’re just paying that off each month. Hundreds gone, to pay for a sociology degree a decade ago. Ouch. Why are we saddling our youngsters with so much debt, with so much interest on top of that? Madness. Manage to put a few quid away to save? That gets taxed too - ISAs will be under attack in the budget. Profit made on successful investments, what happens? You guessed it. Tax. Somehow you’ve scrabbled a deposit together for a property. Well done. Paying half a million quid for a semi-detached? Not cheap. Stamp duty means you get slapped for thousands. Obviously first time buyer exemptions mean less and less as house prices soar. You’re in the house. Great news. Or so you thought. Council tax. Going up seemingly by 5% every year. Thousands of pounds a year. For what? To collect the bins? Really? Don’t forget the extra costs to have your garden waste removed. Brilliant. More insurance taxes, and of course VAT on any improvements you want to make. Bills soaring, with tax slapped onto every corner of it - green levies and the rest. How depressing. Time for a pint. Alcohol duty. Because of course. Why wouldn’t they throw extra tax on it? I’m not a smoker, but the same applies. Even holidays. Air passenger duty to put a few extra quid onto the price of a trip away. Just for good measure. You’re limping on through. Maybe you decide that starting your own business is the way to go? You get it up and running, starting to make a reasonable profit. Take a small salary - to pay for such luxuries as food and heating. As we know, that gets taxed. Alongside the costs. National Insurance. Business rates. Fees and licences. It is endless. What’s left after all that? A profit? Surely good news? Bang. Corporation tax. A big slice gone. After that, we can enjoy a handsome profit. Right? Nope. Dividend tax. With its brutal thresholds. What slivers you do take get taxed all over again when you want to actually buy something. Obviously. And the final kick in teeth. Inheritance tax. After everything, somehow, you’ve managed to put a reasonable amount of money away. After all that tax, you’ve succeeded in building a financial legacy to pass to your children - your business, and your own savings. Money you were taxed on the day you earned it, taxed when you saved it, taxed when you invested it, taxed to build your business. It gets taxed one final time. On both your personal savings, and also the value of your company. Even after death, it continues. What are we paying all this money for? Are our schools world-class? Borders secure? Police visible? NHS efficient? Economy thriving? Roads operational? No. No. No. No. No. No. NOTHING WORKS. Britain has the highest tax burden in most of our lifetimes, yet the worst services many of us have ever seen. If everything worked perfectly, there could maybe be an argument for such suffocating levels of tax. But it doesn’t, and hasn’t for decades, so there isn’t. When the taxpayers fail to fund this state monster of inefficiency and unaccountability, what do they do? QE. Print money. Creating inflation, devaluing our earnings and our savings. Yet one more tax. The people creating all of this, implementing all of this? £100k plus on the public sector, living in London. Comfortable salary, great pension, no job risk. Clueless about the real world. Maybe, just maybe, the current approach isn’t working. We need to urgently cut tax. Shrink government. Reward hard work. You just can’t tax a nation into prosperity. It never has worked, and it never will work. LEAVE OUR MONEY ALONE.

Funny both @BBCNews and @Channel4News made no mention of this in their “interpretation” of yesterday’s meeting of @realDonaldTrump and Kier Starmer (didn’t he look uncomfortable),but that’s state gagging I suppose.

Well @Ed_Miliband ,this Australian talks a lot of sense,not like you spaffing £22 billion on hairbrained carbon capture schemes etc…..borrowed money we haven’t got,and us taxpayers will have to pay for,frankly @UKLabour are not working!

If wildlife is 24/7 same as farming why can’t farming ministers get that planning is everything this is on you @SteveReedMP @NFFNUK @NFUtweets @NoFarmsNoFoods @Jes_Squirrell @savebutterflies @BC_Suffolk @Gameandwildlife @AdamHenson @1GarethWynJones @vickihird @LookEastTeam

How on earth people ignore the damage aircraft are doing ,pumping out burnt kerosene and CO2 into the upper atmosphere.

Parody of Trump’s Military parade. Very close to the real thing.

I'm asking Keir Starmer to urgently rethink Labour's UK-US trade deal. Removing tariffs on bioethanol risks flooding our market with cheap, subsidised US imports, threatening 200 jobs at Britain's largest bioethanol plant, Vivergo Fuels in Hull. Let’s protect British industry.

Something has to change, Our taxes are being spaffed, We’re a laughing stock on the world stage no matter what @Keir_Starmer says. Who voted to spend our taxes on putting illegal immigrants in hotels? BEFORE our own servicemen and women? Our own ppl falling on hard times?

Why on earth @SteveReedMP @RachelReevesMP the @UKLabour haven’t yet developed a #NationalFoodSecurity strategy because we are going to need it shortly to feed your urban masses.

Democracy as we know it,with being held to a account in the House of Commons is finished,thanks to Boris’s Corrupt Conservatives and now Labour cosying up to the WEF,sadly they are now in control ,all both political parties are more interested in what’s in it for them!
