debates on here end up in arguments
im thinking of Elise here, thats all i care about tbh, i can suport her and i dont need to sponge off my family at all even though theres offers but what will happen in the future i dont know
i live in a poor area where people wont go to work as there not stupid and know there gonna be worse off as then got food ar work to sort out and the travel costs ect
then the stress, this way they cant get in trouble, get free dental ( the main reason i quit as i save 700 on me teeth
) and are untouchable, they cant even be made homeless and also get free legal advice too
sorry but they had more benifits than me and i was working full time
shame they dont pay the morgage as i would join the que sooner but they just pay my interest aslong as i aint got a job so thats screwed my plan up

If we managed to all unite and force down the price of petrol tax then they government would have to increase some other tax like income tax or vat or whatever to compensate.
The government has to pay for all the immigrants we allow in every year somehow, so if its not petrol it will be something else.
We as a country cant choose to have all these expensive outgoings and not pay for it somehow.

We have one of the highest taxes on the overall cost of living in Europe, and the some of the worst services in return.
We don't need to be taxed more - we need the revenue spent properly.
I know a lot of money is technially wasted on bureocratic red tape etc etc but I sitll think that even if money was correctly allocated (too the penny!) and taxes where lowered this country would struggle.
We, as a country, need to start exporting again - but this is technically impossible.
What could the British possibly export? It needs to be cheaper to buy than other countrys can make it themselves so buying it would be a bonus for them.
Answer? A big fat fuck-all!
I know Scotland has a small computer exporting sector and theres a Nissan plant that exports a few cars but c'mon!
America, China, Thailand etc etc - all export countries. They have something to sell - and 9 times out of 10 us Brits are the ones buying it!!
We are a crappy small little country with no where near the econommic power we had - say even 100 years ago. Its all easy of us to moan about the price of this, the tax on that etc... but I honestly think that if all tax's where dramaticallly cut we would all be fucked!!

if they nocked 15p a litr off fuel tax, they would only increase VAT to 18% and therefore we would be paying for it in other ways - and an extra .5% on everything you buy apart from food and other non vat items is a LOT more than 15p per litre of fuel at the end of the day
swings and roundabouts.

Fuel protests don't work in the UK and here's why.
The point of a fuel protest is people don't buy fuel. Everyone goes about their normal lives but don't use their cars, the money doesn't get to the government and causes a huge nasty blip in their cash flow. Everyone bonds together as united force because we have shown we are the ones who hold control, not the government.
In the UK everyone just panics, say they support the protests while rushing to the petrol station to fill every container they have with fuel. This creates a huge blip in the cash flow the wrong way as petrol sales rocket up. Everyone gets het up and upset, people attack one another in petrol stations, others have heart attacks after queing in the sun for hours. Nothing changes at all, we just all end up pissed off.
The only answer is to burn dole scroungers for fuel therefore turning them into national income not expense.
