That made me laugh as well. There were probably more people holding their phones up filming than actually rioting. Don't the thick fuckers realise that by filming it and posting it online, all they are doing is probably handing their fellow neanderthal a prison sentence.

Especially as the army are going to be using wheelie bins to replace the less reliable Ajax armoured vehicles. Do the rioters want to be speaking Russian?

Id be very interested to see how much gets spent on DEI roles in the public sector. You can find dozens if not hundreds of very, very well paid jobs in Pub Sec in this gravy train. I've seen jobs paying 70-90k as head of DEI in various organisation, which suggests there are also teams of people under neath them. A truly fantastic job, making sure you've got a enough non whites, women and LGBTs women working in your organisation and if anyone disagrees with you you can get them fired for being racist, homophobic or sexist. The job where you cannot fail.

You forgot trannies you bigot.

Total government spending = £1.36trillion 

Total government income = £1.23 trillion 

Welfare/Benefits exceed income tax. 
Total spend exceeds total income. 
 

It’s a shit show. I’m not sure why you’re defending how the country is run lol 

You seem to be confusing total spending with spending on benefits.

I missed half of it, trying on all my balaclavas, to see which one I looked best in, for the cameras.

It isn’t exclusively Labour, the Tories were horrific for the country. But labours policies WILL exacerbate all of the issues. 
 

We need to lower taxes, prioritise growth, lower energy costs, increase the “givers” and decrease the “takers”. 

Labour are doing the exact opposite of what we need. 
 

Again - the bond markets are the most important signal. They cut through all the noise. And the bond markets are saying: we don’t trust that the UK is credit worthy anymore

Even with NI, Inheritance tax etc there is still an annual deficit, expected to be £133bn this year. 

Taxes do not cover the shortfall, it’s funded by issuing government bonds.
 

They are borrowing from our children’s future to fund an insane welfare state.

As I said, look at the gilt yield curve to see the objective reality of what smart money thinks.

Bonds have been selling off, pushing up rates to even higher levels than under Liz truss, showing that the smart money across the world has zero faith in the government 
 

Bonds are selling off because most run over 10 years. The markets are scared of what's coming at the next election, Reform. That's why the smart money (and the smart people) are exiting the UK.

You don't get out once they are in charge, you get out before they get in charge.
