Lt. Aldo Raine Posted February 12 Posted February 12 20 minutes ago, London Wanderer said: So does that quarter just mean people claiming stuff like disability benefits for a child or carers allowance etc. ? Then half (so 4ish million) not working at all? It's concerning figures either way. As @Dimron says the real issues Ratcliffe brings up have been lost due to the controversial comments. The figures were for Universal Credit Quote

Out of interest how Much tax did you pay in Germany? Aye right nice try 😄 You couldn't point to where he said he didn't mean all immigrants. Best you had was 'watch the video'. If you say we're being colonised by immigrants, then you've made a massive generalisation. He doesn't make it clear which immigrants he means precisely. And we're not even being colonised. Why don't we argue about it for 7 pages though.... before you start rambling on about homeschooling, Kier Starmer and how much tax I've paid in Germany. oh wait... 😉 Quote

Don’t be that person. Anyway why do you think a person who earns his money outside of the U.K. should pay U.K. tax? It’s a weird thought process and I’m trying to get my head around it. Quote

It’s the main reason he had to come out & apologise. Surely you’re not going to try & argue he’s got no assets in the UK he’s profiting from are you ? That would be impressive even by your standards Quote

These business’s operate in many countries each paying tax in their respective countries. He doesn’t pay tax either in them because he doesn’t live there. “yes that 4 billion rightfully belongs here” looks like someone has been to the Diane Abbot school of maths 😆 Quote

Although he clearly is.....he'll say he can't possibly be racist, because he once bought a Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes single once, or something Another 'throw the doors open' advocate. I should have known. Merkel for canonisation eh? Hope they use a cannon. Quote

crawshawbooth Posted February 13 Posted February 13 just watching a Labour muppet on question time with the delectable Fiona😁 We need to reduce student fees by 50% so kids can go to Uni , so we have done it by 30 % just to show them how its done Quote
crawshawbooth Posted February 13 Posted February 13 9 hours ago, London Wanderer said: Don’t think anybody said it was racist. Just stupid Us vs them nonsense. Going for a walk in a heavily populated muslim area with you won’t prove Ratcliffe was right 😂 Many of the people in these areas are British born, workers & taxpayers. Who gives a shit what colour their skin is. Letting thousands of unvetted people in is becoming a serious issue, the public are being failed. But calling every immigrant a coloniser is a ridiculous statement. And folk are right to call him out on it. Plus he’s a dirty red Quote
crawshawbooth Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Just now, crawshawbooth said: i dont walk with these people i work with these people , every night hundreds and hundreds over 4 years most dont speak English But the guys that do and talk are claiming money in Spain , Germany ,and here Registered in Bolton for female school place Decided to go back to Italy as their health service is better than ours Quote

Aldo Raine said: The figures were for Universal Credit Everything is very weird at the moment, I've worked through several recessions and it certainly feels like one at the moment but all commentators and politicians are avoiding and skirting around the R-word. My industry (construction) has seen negative growth for over a year now and it looks like the tech sector is following. Investors, developers and industrialists are very nervous to commit without definite long or even medium term policy making from our Chancer of the Exchequer, she just dabbles around the edges. I recall the manifesto I voted for was for growth but her policies do not reflect this, we're all in a race downwards. Quote
