Walker570 Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 I don't worry about anything I can't do anyhting about BUT come the election I will be Reforming. I just made another caramel apple cake, videos later in food and drink. Very ripe Spartan apples sliced and mixed in the sponge mixture with home grown walnuts and a caranel covering.

Walker570 Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 Well I was told by our supplier it would be deducted from our bill automatically and on the last statement there was a credit of £132.... obviously Hunt, finger almost slipped there, has taxed it.

Agriv8 Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 A lot of flannel to say we will be paying more tax and get even less service back the other way. all your outgoing are going up but it’s everybody else’s fault ! Going to be a bumpy ride again though winter Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 Bring back Truss and Kwassi - I could see where they were coming from - grow us out of the problem Trouble is the Globalists want us all doffing our caps like the Serf's of old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN749 Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) Another £900 next year for some including those on working tax credits including some who don’t need it! I know my brother for example,big bungalow owned outright,£100,000+ in savings, works just 18 hours and gets every hand out going,although one of the wealthiest around the area! Ridiculous..It’s about time these benefits were means tested,then the money can go to the genuine poor.

'Tis the same the whole world over. I had lunch in Paris on Tuesday at the canteen that serves the French Ministry of the Interior "antenne" at Bercy. It was total cost of 2.84 Euro for steak hache, frites and sauce us poivre. Bloomin' delicious it all was too. Could have had sliced entrecote steak...nice and rose...for about the same price.

oowee Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 £1250 overnight on higher earners. At last they have a plan for EV's and have listened to labour re windfall tax on energy firms. No vat on private education or tax for non doms. How long do we have now until they are out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandalf Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 Not heard anything about it today but the papers said that we were all going to pay more local council tax so that they can spend more on social care. Now that bugs me. I have been a carer for the Memsahib for nigh on ten years in a worsening situation. It gets worse because her condition deteriorates as I get ever older (83 the last time I looked). Now I am too 'rich' to get any help accept Attendance Allowance. But I pay rates, as it used to be known, so I will be paying more so the council can spend more on social services but I am too 'rich' to get any help. Now anyone who knows me knows that I am not rich. Just been prudent with my money and saved more than £23,500 pounds. If I have to put her into a home then guess who will have to pay for it?

Dougy Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 Over the last 2 years there have been £'millions paid out to people to sit on their derriere, now people dont want to work, we had a chap turned down a job because he can get £1500 for staying at home. And folk are suprised the country's in a state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 A 7% fall in living standards. Growth the lowest in the g7 and the only country in negative growth territory.

Very clever trick they've played, ousted the PM and got the media to make the public believe they were the bad guys, while rishi and his globalist friends are inserted who take a giant **** on the working masses.

old man Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 Well, a good performance from a clown, insulting to most? Sickening! Not a thought for the genuinely disadvantaged. Seems Kwarteng and Truss are to be celebrated for causing a great proportion of our troubles but let's blame someone else. Reform for me following that contempt.
