What's the road fund licence for then Vin? Mines nearly £400 a year!

It's not road fund licence. It hasn't been for years.

OK, do the same for the NHS, pensions, legal system, fire service, food standards agency, etc, etc, etc, etc right down to paying for someone to write type approvals that mean you can buy a cheap, standard headlight bulb for your van and it'll fit.

You benefit from a functioning government every single day of your life. pretending otherwise and shouting that tax is a waste is a tad short-sighted.

I understand there is a need for taxes but it just seems the average working man is the one who keeps the country running whilst the bottom feeders and those above enjoy the fruits of his hard labour....

But its a good point to be fair there probably lots of benefits we get from taxes we take for granted

A good example is my wife is Nigerian by birth, they dont pay income tax there, theres no rules around employing you can pay cash in hand and dont have to declare income. You can literally buy a piece of land an build a house brick by brick, no planning permission you can do what you want pretty much with a lot of things.

The flipside to that is most the country live in poverty or close to it, theres lots of crimes that go unpunished because they dont have the police force to deal with it. You pay for all your healthcare (or insurance) and if you cant afford it which most cant its tough you`ll die. Most of her family cant read or write the education system is poor.

When you weigh it up i would probably rather live in a civilsed society here with rules and taxes in a somewhat guaranteed level of comfort no matter your income rather than there where it is literally every man for themself so to speak.

Love handing over 30 percent of what i make in taxes and n.i etc. Disgusting when you think about it, third of my working life handed over to the gov.

Even worse when surrounded by people who have never worked for 20+ years and are incapable now and just a drain on the state/system

None of your problems are because of someone on benefits.

There's millions of people who are just a drain on the system in this country. This is what I have issue with. Plenty of working age people just don't ever want to work and contribute. They have never had a work ethic...

Good post this.

There's people who earn way more than you and contribute naff all.

If you were to count to one million it'd take you about 10-11 days. If you wanted to count to a billion you'd be in your 80s before you finished.

Nobody needs a billion.

Greed is far worse than laziness.

Bring back national service and beat all chavs with a stick. I'm hoping Farage becomes prime minister one day.

Did you hear about the Jamaican who raped a woman in this country? Served his time in prison but told the powers that be he's bi-sexual so he can't go back to Jamaica and has got to stay here because he'll be persecuted back home. This is what we're up against. We've gone soft.

Yep, and it’s only getting worse. Immigrants hanging around our local secondary schools. Teachers told to keep an eye out. (My sister is a teacher). The police are in contact with schools about it. As well as county line drugs gangs.

Nothing, absolutely nothing good comes from illegal, fighting age men of a very different and evil, yes evil, culture, coming over and sitting about in hotels with no skills or want to integrate.

Legal immigration with a points based system is the best, how Australia did it.

Our country has had it, we’ve let in far too many already. It’s a downward spiral.

I should add, it’s not tolerant to allow men we have no idea of, or who they are etc to wander into our nation illegally.  it’s intolerant, intolerant of our own people, woman and young girls who get followed and harassed by men who treat woman like dirt in their home lands.

We’ve got enough bad eggs as it is. Without importing more.

For the record, I am an uncle to a mixed race niece. Racism has absolutely nothing to do with it. It’s culture. It’s integration. It’s not allowing illegal people to just sail across and help themselves. It’s national security.  It’s protecting our daughters and woman.

Is your niece "fighting age"?

I ask because I've never, not once, heard the phrase "fighting age" used to describe anybody but brown-skinned asylum seekers.

The good thing about immigration here is a lot more younger people who live near me now are polite,working people. Most are Muslims. There's even a mosque now on the corner of my road. They don't drink or do drugs either so it's quieter and more peaceful round here.

It's the British that seem to be causing all the trouble,on benefits,drug dealing,shootings and stabbings,vandalism and general antisocial behaviour.

Anyway back on topic......have you all done your tax returns and paid your tax now? Only 12 days left. You don't want  £100 penalty......🙄

You won’t be saying that when they start to quite literally take over the country daz, that is one of their objectives.

Read the Quran then make your mind up, they hate our way of life. That’s a fact.

Rather you than me!

They certainly won't be taking over the UK.Your just being hysterical. I like the fact they don't drink alcohol and most are very polite and hardworking.

I wish they would ban alcohol altogether in this country but that'll never happen  unfortunately.

We’ll see old mucker.

This is what i can't get my head around. Labour said we will kickstart the economy and make sure everyone has a job. And then people voted for them. Who actually wants a job ? Given the choice i'd rather not have one.
