Yes, why not? You can do anything if you set your mind to it and we need to instil that skill into the upcoming generationsOriginally posted by DoctorStrangelove View PostIs that followed by founding a Peace Corps and going to the moon within the decade, not because it's easy but because it's hard?
Just askin' like.

But things are falling apart not because of lack of money, but employing those with zero work ethic in the public sector and wasting the money on nonsense and generous pensions for them. Roads with potholes ignored (they hate drivers), but plenty of money to dig pavements up to put in unused bike lanes. Litter everywhere, but money to plant wild flowers in city centers. Increasing taxes will not fix roads or litter, but just be spent on more idiocy.Originally posted by dsc View PostI'm no Labour fan, but anyone who thinks that taxes can remain the same in the current climate (with absolutely everything going up in cost) must be deluded. The best you could do with taxes staying the same is effectively maybe carrying on like before ie. with everything falling apart even more. This should actually be the manifesto for most parties "vote for us, we will keep things in the same tulip state as is now and get paid ourselves".

No you do things better, more efficiently and engender a can-do entrepreneurial spirit and stop doing stuff that's expensive and produces no benefit such as the woke green stuff, HS2 and silly smart motorway schemes and then you ask people "what they can do for their country rather than what there country can do for them".Originally posted by dsc View PostI'm no Labour fan, but anyone who thinks that taxes can remain the same in the current climate (with absolutely everything going up in cost) must be deluded.

Remove the apostrophe from the plastic or foil wrapper. Lie on your side with your top leg bent up towards your tummy, or squat down, or stand with one leg raised on a seat. Use your finger to gently push the apostrophe, rounded end first, in to your rectum as high as it will comfortably go.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostIs it someone who understands how to use an apostrophe?

He actually said in an interview he expects his own taxes to go up.
Ask Wes Streeting what a worker is as the shadow health secretary doesn't know.

Wots a worker?
Sir Kneel-a-Lot or the privileged one with special pension provision has defined working people as “people who earn their living, rely on our services and don’t really have the ability to write a cheque when they get into trouble”. So is saving bad and reliance on state handouts good, with this definition the Starmer isn't a working person and we'll be taxed into oblivion
