Yes, but they don't try to suppress their tribal instincts like we do.

I’m not sure how he will save money by deporting foreign criminals but the others seem doable.

they all seem do-able

like £350M back to the NHS seemed do-able if we left the EU

which he back tracked on the day after the vote

These are just the periphery measures to please the voters.

Reeves, like any other chancellor has 3 levers to pull or push... income tax,value added tax and National Insurance... puts the original manifesto into perspective...

Cost of tax avoidance to the UK is around 10x that of the cost of our broken asylum system.

Yet you never hear Farage talking about the first. Rather he actively promotes it instead. 

I'd like a government that tackles both.

Reform will be a disaster for the economy.

And yes, it can get worse 😄👍

Tax avoidance is at 0.7 billion. Thats not 10 x our broken asylum system.

Tax avoidance 

economic crime

A disproportionate tax system 

legal loopholes continuing to be used 

Call it what you want.. It’s costing a huge amount.

Yes our asylum system is unsustainable and costing far too much. But it’s not causing the a fall in standards of living & breakdown in services that we’re seeing. 
 

Reform’s argument seem to be that all this can solved by stopping the boats & deportations. Which is nonsense.

I’ve not called it anything. You called it tax avoidance. None of what I have posted is about the boats, they’re trying to raise funds by making cuts elsewhere. Labour want to raise funds by raising taxes.

I think I'm becoming a pariah like yourself... some of the obvious sh1te I see recycled would be laughable if not so disappointingly poorly researched and taken at face value.

At the end of the day people are like sheep and need to be herded.

Stop being so ignorant, you are talking about the ‘tax gap’ not tax avoidance. 😂😇🤫
 

Some might argue it is a semantic difference but there is a rather large difference. You would think this would get a bit more attention especially from a Labour Govt but only the Greens and Libs are shouting about it. Gets dismissed by the Cons and Farage as politics of envy. Who are the financial backers of these parties again ?

 We are all in this together remember. The Stock Market is only up 15% YTD 27% in last two years, 50% in last 5. Cost of living crisis my arse ! 😂 Typed from a subbed in Lanzarote trying decide if we should get a ferry to another island as there is a Calima today.

Sadly, and you are correct, most of the general public are a bit dense, and they are herded as they don't know how to think for themselves, they always have been, years ago it was by doing what their parents did, but these days folk are now far more easily herded via social media.

as is the way these days, and will be for the foreseeable future. Musk knew what he was doing when he bought Twitter, it's possibly the most powerful "tool" in the developed world now. He (or the company) almost has the power to decide Governments these days. That's a worry.
