Great👍 This could be my last one then. It’ll then stop every one blaming us. 😊

Agree with that. 

Shouldn't have a say on how the country is going to be run if you're pissing yourself

Latest one is that only 30,000 will do the year long national service.

It's the get the best and brightest for cyber security etc.

To put it in perspective, in 2022 (last set of stats), there were 60k students that got a pass at GCSE computing (Those that have an interest in computers to a higher level), 

Having taught in a GCSE computer science classroom, I'd imagine that front lines going to be quite interesting.. 

So the people saying " national service builds characters", I very much doubt that 30k will have much to worry about career wise..

If all youre doing is taking out, i just think its fair enough you dont get to fuck it up for the young uns

Returning to the election for a minute, what sort of cock calls an election when hes 150 candidates short?

I get its not much of a career move but deary me, its yet another example of decisions made without a thought for the consequences

Hey rishi, fuck off

😅 🎣 

49 years of NI and 53 years and counting of paying tax. Yes I’m still ‘putting in’ I suspect more than some younger ones on here. 
Anyway, if everyone stopped voting at 70, how many elections would everyone have left assuming 5 years in between?

Is it a pledge in the Labour manifesto?

Well KS wants it and it’s likely to appear in the manifesto. 🤷🏻

You aren't even on any solid ground anymore. It's quite amusing to see all your straw dolls fade away.

They may as well offer free blowjobs for all males over 18 3 times a week.

Where do I sign up?

Happy to work shifts

The equivalent would be offering free blowjobs to the over 50's, and forcing teenagers to give them.

Am up for this as well

[BobyBrno]

No one seems to want to talk about Labour but I saw this in their ‘Labours plan to close the tax gap’

‘Boost compliance activities in HMRC, recovering more tax revenues from those seeking to avoid it.’

This I support. Too much avoidance going on for my liking.

If it's a Tory policy it'll be rather gummy from Bobby or an aggressive nosh from RW.

You might get an apologetic reach round from Mounts

100%, I'd maybe push that to 75. They should lose the vote, and get their driving licence taken off them on their 75th birthday

You don't half like regurgitated guff though, under the guise of being clever.

You're a baked in right of centre Tory, and I understand, it's painful to watch the shite you have defended disapate.

I would be if I was a One Nationaist. 

It's nice to see these policies fold like your vapid arguments though.

😊 Rhino skin getting thin?

Anyway. Tax avoidance.

• Placing your residence in a low-income tax rate country.
• Setting up a company and paying dividends instead of an income.
• Gifting family members assets when you're still alive to avoid inheritance tax.

Labour are clamping down on it. A policy you surely support?

Of course, I assumed you didn’t know so I was giving you a bit of a heads up. Why would you vote for a party that are already (in your opinion) telling lies

A bit harsh. Any reason why?
