@Equalizer0x Time for the projects that are still running (few and far between) are shown the love and respect they deserve. Time to stop the bullshit in-fighting and pull together as a community again. Equalizer has maintained its professionalism and integrity throughout. Massive respect

Effective today, we are:

I am so utterly fed up of this constant lie that Britain is absolutely reliant on low-skilled immigration to keep our country dragging along. That is just not true. It's boring and it's wrong.
Let’s take the NHS. We’re always told how its built on immigration. Total nonsense. Reason number one - if we trained our own people, there would be no need to import foreign professionals through such vast numbers. We deliberately block British boys and girls from training medicine, then ship in staff from the third world.
And let’s be clear.
Their training is often not good enough. Their language is often not good enough. Their attitude is often not good enough.
That’s just a fact.
The NHS needs translators, but not for the patients - it’s the sodding staff half the time.
So we have some of the brightest young British men and women unable to train through our own decisions, and we replace them with migrants who are all too often not up to the job. Great work, everyone. What a result that is.
Even British medics who have been trained can’t get work. Those roles are being filled by imported Nigerians. It all just sounds too ludicrous to be true. It is very much absolutely true.
Then these pro-immigration hide behind the fact that they bumped into a foreign receptionist in a hospital. It is absolutely nothing personal against these specific individuals, I don’t blame them. I blame our rotten politicians. I’m sure that receptionist is a possibly a nice lady, but she shouldn’t be here.
We have millions of healthy Brits on benefits doing nothing. The answer is quite simple - GET THEM WORKING.
There is also the moral argument of taking these individuals away from their own countries, but I am uninterested in that.
But let’s just park all that for one moment. Why is demand so high in our hospitals?
Go and sit in a hospital waiting room in London, Birmingham, Manchester - pretty much anywhere in Britain other than leafy Surrey.
It’s packed full of foreigners.
They have every need catered to them. Don’t speak English? Great. We’ll fund the translator. Hundreds of millions are spent on this. It is, and I don’t apologise for my language here, a total piss-take.
All whilst taxpaying British men and women are unable to see their GP, get a scan or receive timely treatment.
I have no issue with bringing in the odd brain surgeon or oncologist. Great, let’s do that until we can train our own. But to suggest that Britain’s health service is so indebted to immigration is total bullshit and we should call it out for the reasons stated above.
This is a masterclass in sounding righteous while saying nothing that survives contact with arithmetic.
Let’s start with the £4 billion figure you’re throwing around. That’s not an annual tax bill Ratcliffe dodged. It’s a one-off estimated saving on a capital restructuring — the potential capital gains and income tax on extracting his equity from INEOS. You’re presenting it as though HMRC is missing £4 billion a year from its budget because Ratcliffe moved to Monaco. It isn’t.
When Ratcliffe was UK tax resident in 2019, he paid £110 million in income tax in a single year. How much income tax did you pay that year, Zara?
Now let’s test your central thesis: that if “parasitic billionaires paid what they owe,” our public services would be fine. The entire UK billionaire class — every single one of them — holds combined wealth estimated at around £650 billion. If you confiscated every penny — not taxed, confiscated — it would fund the NHS for approximately three years. Then it’s gone. No more billionaires. No more money.
And of course you’d also have destroyed the companies they own, the hundreds of thousands of jobs those companies support, and the tax revenue those employees generate. INEOS alone employs 26,000 people globally and turns over £45 billion annually, generating enormous tax receipts through corporation tax, employer NICs, and income tax from its workforce.
The NHS costs approximately £190 billion a year. Schools another £115 billion. The welfare bill runs to over £300 billion. Total government spending exceeds £1.2 trillion annually. You cannot fund this by squeezing billionaires, because there simply aren’t enough of them and they don’t have enough money — even collectively — to cover more than a rounding error on the annual budget. This is not an opinion. It is mathematics.
The bulk of UK tax revenue comes from ordinary working people through income tax, NICs, VAT, and council tax, and it always
The working class are perfectly capable of holding more than one thought simultaneously. They can recognise that tax avoidance by the wealthy is a problem and that unprecedented levels of net migration — 900,000 in a single year under this government’s watch — place genuine pressure on housing, GP appointments, school places, and wages at the lower end of the labour market. These are not “far-right talking points.” These are the lived daily experiences of the people you claim to represent.
You know who doesn’t struggle to get a GP appointment? You, Zara. You know who isn’t competing for social housing? You. You know whose children aren’t in a classroom with 35 kids and a supply teacher? Yours aren’t. The people on the housing waiting list in Coventry — my neighbours — aren’t angry because Jim Ratcliffe lives in Monaco. They’re angry because they’ve been waiting four years for a two-bedroom flat while the population has grown by three million in half a decade and nobody built the infrastructure to absorb it.
And speaking of parasites — your word, not mine — you’ve been a member of the party that has been in government since July 2024. Labour has had every lever of power available to it. What has your government done about billionaire tax avoidance? Nothing. What has it done about non-dom status? Watered down its own proposals. What has it done about net migration? Presided over the highest figures in British history. You don’t get to tweet like you’re in opposition when you are the government. You’re not “speaking truth to power.” You are power. And you’re failing.
Ratcliffe’s language was clumsy and his population figures were wrong. But your response isn’t an argument — it’s a slogan dressed up as analysis, designed to harvest likes from people who mistake moral indignation for economic literacy.
The working class don’t need you to identify their enemies for them. They need houses, functioning public services, and an honest conversation about trade-offs. You’re offering none of these.
