Taxes for you
0% below £12,570
28% £12,571-50,270
42% £50,271-125,140
47% £125,140+
Taxes for companies
13.2% (average) even on tens of billions.
You have crippling taxes, theirs, most of whose shareholders DONT live in the UK so don't pay any other tax.
Are a joke

We had such outrage for one building burning down.
But silence when Google illegally chops down an entire forest.
Even though that has done far more harm.

NHS England has said that you cannot opt out of Palantir having your medical data and they refuse to review their policy.
So if you live in England, Palantir, Donald Trump, Netanyahu and co have access to all your medical data.
Nobody voted for this.

My controversial but accurate Left Wing opinion.
We shouldn't pay to renationalise anything, nor should we pay their debts.
They have stolen more than enough already.

Well after today’s announcement from the Bank of England, there is something very, very, very wrong in the system.
So … let me get this straight:
* British Gas made a profit of £1.3bn between January & June
* BP announced profits of £6.95 billion between April and June alone
* Shell has profited by £9.4bn in a year
The MEN at the top:
* John Pettigrew, boss of National Grid received £6.5m bonus on top of his salary
* Chris O’Shea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was paid almost £2m last year in salary and benefits
* Centrica's non-executive directors were paid almost £1m
* Scottish Power's CEO Keith Anderson is on £1.15m.
* E.On boss Michael Lewis is on £1m
* EDF's Simone Rossi is also on £1m
* And their top execs enjoyed a share of £4.65m
* Peter Simpson of Anglian Water earned a £1.3m pay package
* Welsh Water bosses awarded themselves bonuses of over £930,000
* Severn Trent bosses awarded themselves bonuses of £5.56m
* Thames Water's Sarah Bentley, received a £727,000 bonus on top of her £2m annual salary
Meanwhile there are...
* People who haven't had breakfast and/or lunch TODAY, because they can't afford it.
* People using FoodBanks because food is becoming more of a luxury than a necessity.
* Children celebrating a birthday without presents.
* Parents worrying about new school uniforms - and some schools enforcing rules which are not cost-effective.
* People who can't get to work because they can't afford to put petrol in their cars/pay for public transport anymore.
* People who are working so much they're making themselves ill, and they STILL CAN'T AFFORD to pay their bills.
* People who have been given fines by these same energy/water companies because they couldn't afford to pay their bills in the first place - increasing their debt.
* Customers being told to do STAR JUMPS TO KEEP WARM for crying out loud!
* Hose pipe bans when gallons of water leak away everyday.
* Elderly people NOT DRINKING because they're worried about running out of water!!!
All this and energy prices are set to rise up to 75% in October...
THIS IS MADNESS!.. I'm all for supporting profits … I'm not for supporting greed at the cost of lives of others.
Something needs to change.
Why is customers' money being used to make life more comfortable for those who are making life more intolerable for the rest of us?
I actually don't understand how the energy companies are allowed to get away with this and why the government aren't stopping them instead of handing out money.....

Don't read this if you've not watched Hardline BC yet.
Wow another superhuman course to navigate on a bike.
BK was within a podium finish and then he wasn't.
An Amazing ride by Asa of course.
Mr Goldstone was set for first place until he fancied a sit down.
Nail bitting.
Tour De Moor today.
2.52 not bad for an old bloke, faster than many of the Ebikerists👍.

They’ve been dumping shit in the rivers for six years and the punishment is a fine smaller than the CEO’s annual bonus. We get the sewage and the price rises, they get the dividends. It fucking stinks, in more ways than one.
South West Water (SWW) has been fined almost £8m for hundreds of sewage spillages across Devon and Cornwall over a six-year period.

Amount a pensioner receives in the UK is the lowest in Europe, just 2/3rds of France and barely 50% of Italy who are considered a 'poorer' country.
Why is our pension 'unaffordable' when it is so low, and where is all our money actually going?
