Really, because then the Navy can patrol and protect out shores, hopefully after sinking a few the word gets out and the intimidation works, but our boats need to be bigger than there's. These people aren't escaping from a war zone, they aren't at any risk, the are in France trying to get to England. They are illegal economic immigrants and they're not wanted.

As such, anyone who actually believes anything they say (and I'm talking most politicians of all parties here, not specifically Starmer) must be stupid. Politicians say things to get votes. They don't believe what they say, but it's a means to an end, the end being getting into 'power'. Barristers represent their clients cases - and there must be a great many cases where they have to stand up in court and fight a case they don't believe in - because all cases need both a prosecution and a defence. Both cannot be 'right'. They know that, but still have to do the job for which they are being (handsomely) paid. You need to understand Two Tier a bit better.

JohnfromUK Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 (edited) 27 minutes ago, discobob said: You need to understand Two Tier a bit better. Here is poacher turned gamekeeper Peter Hitchin to explain it better Thank you. I am aware of Peter Hitchens, he writes in the Mail and I used to read some of what he wrote. However, the Mail has now joined many of the other papers in putting up a pay-wall - and Peter Hitchens stuff is now usually behind it. I am not a subscriber. The point Peter Hitchens makes on Starmers hard left past is not unknown. Hitchens also makes the point that he is a 'poacher turned gamekeeper in that he was once hard left himself, but now sits (not quite sure exactly where - but) broadly on the right. Funny that he can change which he indicates enables him to speak with authority on these issues, but claims Starmer hasn't changed? I don't know where the truth lies, but as Starmer is now P.M., we will very likely find out. The idea that Starmer and Co regard anyone with savings as 'not a working man' is very probably true. It is though a completely false and ludicrous idea as the great many who have savings may no longer be working, but have built the savings up up through a working career - and positively encouraged by HMG. Labour have always HATED people with the means to have some independence (particularly financial independence) because it makes it much harder for the State to control them. Gordon Brown did a much hated and long remembered raid of everyone's pensions - having himself earlier encouraged people to save form their old age. Once the pot was looking fruitful he STOLE part of it. Thats Labour for you - and it will happen again.

Doormat Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 I know this is insignificant but where I work there is a growing number of employees now refusing to do any OT reason… they don’t want to pay a penny more in tax than they have to towards labour’s migrant loving…sorry funding government. last week there was a big meeting between the bosses and team leaders after a fair few deadlines were missed due to work not been completed because workers were refusing to do OT. I know it’s insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but it clearly highlights the level of anger and discontent brewing. I don’t often do OT, infact never. But was asked last week if I would work this weekend, told them I’d already made plans…sorry. colleague’s replied the same fact is I’m not putting myself out , then getting hit with paying more tax so labour can squander it on bloody migrants.

Vince Green Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 (edited) Sweden has achieved negative migration None are coming and those already there are leaving. How did they do it?

I find it an interesting mentality too. Earlier in my career I was regularly booking 100 to 150 hours overtime. Nowadays it’s just a fixed salary. We’ve previously discussed salary thresholds for becoming a net contributor and I don’t remember if we arrived at a figure but I’ve just read elsewhere that for PAYE it’s around £41.5k. I I would like to hope that anyone under that level who could attain it through over time would be inclined to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
