    Where have all our taxes gone? Over the last 14 years? This is the real question. No new hospitals, no new schools, no new prisons, no new GP surgeries or doctors, nurses policemen - nothing! Its funny isnt it that we have more rich people and the rich have been getting richer and the poor poorer!

    • @1rickslater

      Where has our tax money gone???
      We have The lowest corporate tax rate (for the rich) yet the highest income tax rate (for the poor) in history. More billionaires and food banks than there’s ever been. The wealth is still in the country it’s just harder to see when it’s domiciled in the tax havens of the rich and not being used to fix the infrastructure that they benefit from the most. The wealthy benefit financially from the most. They benefit financially from a healthy population from an educated workforce. The tories took the shortest NHS wait times in history and made them into the longest (and that was before the pandemic.) They flatlined our economic growth for a decade. They raised our taxes they tripled our debt they sold off our infrastructure to their mates and threw parties while we couldn’t bury our loved ones, that their incompetence killed. A misguided ideology of hate and privilege.
      Shame on everyone who repeatedly voted Tory and allowed this to happen to our public sector. Shame on them for the state of the NHS, the economy our boarders, our military, our schools and our prisons.

      I found "covfefe" one of the most damning things about Trump, albeit seemingly small. We all make mistakes. Typos, grammatical errors and the like. Fat fingers, small screens, quick replies, right? But it was his inability to laugh it off and post what he really meant that showed me he was an arrogant, unrepentant and unapologetic man.

      ? Child benefit is for the child's benefit solely. When the parents don't earn enough, they get subsidized so that the child can have their needs met. If you earn enough, you should be able to care for your child by yourself.
