The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
Sir Ralph replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
I didn’t say strip all taxes but there are inefficiencies in day to day public spending that haven’t been addressed. From the mouths of people that work in these sectors. I also liaise with people in the public sector so I understand the need for it but also how it is bloated in parts. In some areas there are bureaucrats that are making themselves look busy but not achieving much. The government seems broadly unwilling to address this but just to tax people and that’s the problem. There is a lack of balance in their budget. I suspect they know this needs to be addressed but can’t because of their own party. Ultimately this is what is likely to loss those MPs their jobs in my opinion so short sighted -

It’s amazing that these morons consistently think that higher taxes achieves growth when there are historical precedents in this country that it doesn’t. Your suggestion is crude and not reflective of what I said. We are now in an era of the highest tax burden since the 1940s so you would be stupid not to consider it should be reduced rather than continue to be increased. If your political strategy is to increase dependency of people on public spending by increasing the number of people in the public sector and dependent on welfare benefits to get more votes then that makes sense. It’s no wonder some people have this view of continually increasing taxes if they directly benefit from it. -

It’s been playing on my mind too. Then if your car lights are too bright you should be taxed for that. -

We don’t need tax rises we need efficiencies in day to day public spending and significant welfare reductions. I won’t increase growth. You need to look at day to day public services spending not overall tax levels -

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cql9ez5grpqo “Saints will win the Premier League next year”, says Solar. I’m getting increasingly fed up with this silly women who keeps making excuses for her own incompetency. These policies won’t increase growth but will pave the way for further tax rises to cover the next black hole in 2026. Bunch of jokers and 3 years before they get kicked out -
From the Guardian so not exactly balanced

When you watch this you have to wonder. The players have more to answer for than Still I think . Still job to hold them accountable

If people want change then you either boycott or have mass protest in the ground. If you decide to turn up and continue watching with no action, don’t bother complaining if it doesn’t change because it won’t. The owners need to be made to feel very uncomfortable

Not going - they don’t deserve my support. It’s like an abusive relationship where you keep giving but give nothing back until….enough

Poor blokes got mugged off by a couple of chancers

Does this club deserve your support and money?
Sir Ralph replied to Saint Billy's topic in The Saints
Stop going. I’m not. Preston should be a boycott -
Crap owners, crap manager, lazy players. I just don’t care anymore

Boycott

Well I’m a trans women so my view does hold weight and only biological women should use women’s toilets 😆

Not really- I can see the positive things in people that I don’t agree with and acknowledge it. Don’t have a problem admitting it because experience tells you that everyone has good and bad attributes, just at different levels. You should try it. You can admit people who you don’t agree with can be right - it’s ok -

Ok I agree the Tories are hypocrites - they could have done this inquiry and their criticism holds little weight. I dont think Labour ever wanted this Inquiry, hence the original vote to not do it. If you were a victim of abuse, surely you want justice and to stop abuse over anything else, rather than make a political point. To me, its more likely that those in power (this isnt just the Labour Government but includes them) dont want to confront the nasties that are going to be exposed, having been forced politically to do this inquiry in the first instance. There are a lot of people who are going to come out of this very badly, a bit like the epstein case which clearly has elements of cover up. I can imagine a lot of pressure from various quarters to dilute it.

heres some evidence in the news the same day you posted. If you have a daughter or wife I assume you would be ok with this? I'm surprised that allegedly rationale people defend men in womens toilets. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cge51zwz384o

Thats fine but to say people would prioritise political positions over addressing the sexual abuse, when you have been horrendously abused, is very, very unlikely. Your priority would be to stop the abuse of others and see justice, not make a political point. It see it much more likely that there actually issues with the set up of the Inquiry.
