It’s disgusting.
I’ve benefited massively from yesterdays budget. I feel like I’m being bribed. I’m a member of that poor, downtrodden demographic, the relatively well-paid, white, middle-class, educated, English male. I’m doing just fine already, comparatively speaking, considering the state of the economy. There are plenty of other people out there who really need the help. If there’s money to give away in tax breaks (which I dispute, given the state of the NHS and education, the number of homeless, the treatment of the elderly, etc) then it should be spent on people who need it more than me! Which is practically everyone else! For ****’s sake!
If any high rate taxpayers truly agree with the OP, they’ll be paying their £43/mo to a charity next year.
While you were typing that, I was typing this:
Right, I’m off to increase my donations to Shelter and whatnot, hopefully that’ll make me feel less dirty.
Oh, and Gideon? I’ll **** hang before I vote for the likes of you, no matter how much cash you throw at me, you oleaginous little cokehead piece of shit.
