Tax. We’ve all become so used to it, we forget how much we’re actually paying. It is relentless, even beyond death. And for what? If we had a semblance of functioning public services, I could maybe stomach it. But we don’t, so what are we actually paying all of this money for?

We are subject to Scandinavian levels of tax for third-world levels of competence - what a toilet deal.

Earn a salary. Income tax, a fifth gone before we’ve even started. National insurance, more on top of that. What for? A ‘world-class’ health service? The NHS? Ha. Good luck.

Even getting to work costs - taxes on buying a car, running a car, insuring a car. Vast amount of road tax. Is that being well spent? Unless you want potholes you can paddle in, the answer is no. A road network built for half the amount of cars. How’s that going? It takes twice as long to get anywhere. Fuel duty and tax on insurance - whack that on top too. Congestion charges, tolls, fines and more. It goes on and on and on.

Forget getting the train, that’ll cost twice as much and never runs on time - a season ticket into London costs thousands. Unaffordable. Yet the trains so often run empty? Maybe that system isn’t working…

VAT on anything that moves - getting taxed to buy products/services, from already taxed money.

Tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax. Then more tax.

Did you go to university? Your ‘loan’ isn’t loan, it’s a tax. Interest is so sharp, you’re just paying that off each month. Hundreds gone, to pay for a sociology degree a decade ago. Ouch. Why are we saddling our youngsters with so much debt, with so much interest on top of that? Madness.

Manage to put a few quid away to save? That gets taxed too - ISAs will be under attack in the budget. Profit made on successful investments, what happens? You guessed it. Tax.

Somehow you’ve scrabbled a deposit together for a property. Well done.

Paying half a million quid for a semi-detached? Not cheap. Stamp duty means you get slapped for thousands. Obviously first time buyer exemptions mean less and less as house prices soar.

You’re in the house. Great news. Or so you thought. Council tax. Going up seemingly by 5% every year. Thousands of pounds a year. For what? To collect the bins? Really? Don’t forget the extra costs to have your garden waste removed. Brilliant.

More insurance taxes, and of course VAT on any improvements you want to make. Bills soaring, with tax slapped onto every corner of it - green levies and the rest.

How depressing. Time for a pint.

Alcohol duty. Because of course. Why wouldn’t they throw extra tax on it? I’m not a smoker, but the same applies. Even holidays. Air passenger duty to put a few extra quid onto the price of a trip away. Just for good measure.

You’re limping on through. Maybe you decide that starting your own business is the way to go?

You get it up and running, starting to make a reasonable profit. Take a small salary - to pay for such luxuries as food and heating. As we know, that gets taxed.

Alongside the costs. National Insurance. Business rates. Fees and licences. It is endless.

What’s left after all that? A profit? Surely good news?

Bang. Corporation tax. A big slice gone. After that, we can enjoy a handsome profit. Right?

Nope. Dividend tax. With its brutal thresholds. What slivers you do take get taxed all over again when you want to actually buy something. Obviously.

And the final kick in teeth.

Inheritance tax.

After everything, somehow, you’ve managed to put a reasonable amount of money away. After all that tax, you’ve succeeded in building a financial legacy to pass to your children - your business, and your own savings.

Money you were taxed on the day you earned it, taxed when you saved it, taxed when you invested it, taxed to build your business. It gets taxed one final time. On both your personal savings, and also the value of your company.

Even after death, it continues.

What are we paying all this money for?

Are our schools world-class? Borders secure? Police visible? NHS efficient? Economy thriving? Roads operational?

No. No. No. No. No. No. NOTHING WORKS.

Britain has the highest tax burden in most of our lifetimes, yet the worst services many of us have ever seen. If everything worked perfectly, there could maybe be an argument for such suffocating levels of tax. But it doesn’t, and hasn’t for decades, so there isn’t.

When the taxpayers fail to fund this state monster of inefficiency and unaccountability, what do they do?

QE. Print money. Creating inflation, devaluing our earnings and our savings. Yet one more tax.

The people creating all of this, implementing all of this? £100k plus on the public sector, living in London. Comfortable salary, great pension, no job risk. Clueless about the real world.

Maybe, just maybe, the current approach isn’t working.

We need to urgently cut tax. Shrink government. Reward hard work.

You just can’t tax a nation into prosperity. It never has worked, and it never will work.

LEAVE OUR MONEY ALONE.

It’s payday for Nick, 22, who has just finished working from home in the windowless room he rents in Epsom, Surrey, for £950 per month.

His graduate job that pays £27,000 (not enough to live on, but enough for student loan repayments to start) is taxed 20%. Still, when he gets an invite from a friend to go out for a “swift one” he can’t say no.

He jumps into his 2014 Audi A3 and drives to the pub in Sutton (not forgetting the £13.50 ULEZ charge as he crosses the border).

He arrives at the pub and orders a pint. It costs £8.50 (10% of that is tax). He sits with his friend for 45 minutes, and when he finishes his pint decides to go home.

He jumps into his car and on the way home is pulled over for driving recklessly (23mph in a 20mph zone).

He is breathalysed, arrested, and imprisoned for longer than the average foreign rapist.

As he sits in the cell he shares with three other men he is thankful. At least the £263.95 of tax he paid that day is paying for the driving lessons of Afghan refugees, and they’re safe… they don’t drink.

The horrific details about the Southport attack is now coming out.

A 7 year old girl was killed after being stabbed 85 times.

A 6 year old girl was killed after being stabbed 122 times.

A little girl was stabbed 32 times, she was running out of the building when the attacker pulled her back inside. She survived.

A 9 year old girl died after multiple stab wounds and injuries to her skull and ribs.

The attacker also continued to stab children after they had collapsed on the floor.

I have no words to describe such evil.

And there has been a big cover up about this attack.

There are Pakistani rape gangs turning children into kebab meat, islamists killing other young children, and tens of thousands of fighting age males invading our shore every year on small boats.

Then, less than 24 hours later, the weak and pathetic Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer turns on his own people and threatens them with a new Robocop style police force to stamp out any acts of civil disobedience, whilst promising to protect the religion of hate that refuses to integrate into Britain.
They rape, groom, murder, turn our cities and towns into shit holes and make everywhere they invade into a third world area.

We are threatened by the police who use two tier policing against us and arrest peaceful protesters who's only crime is to try and make our voices heard by a deaf incompetent PM and government.

Compared to Harehills and Rochdale, when the police ran away from young Muslim mens aggression towards them so as not to upset them in any way.

We are being treated as fools, and enough is enough.

[Pete North @FUDdaily]

I'll be honest with you. Most of us have very little interaction with Muslims. You increasingly live apart from us. There is little we can say in favour of your religion and its contribution to British life, and it was never wanted to begin with. We weren't asked and your faith was further imposed on us without our consent. The expansion of Islam in Britain has made Britain less free and less safe, and it has eroded the foundations upon which our society is based.

I am angry that a mosque was targeted last night. This was mob action on the basis of rumour and speculation. But all the same, Islam is a growing problem in Britain. Not least the rising sectarianism and third worldism creeping into our politics. Not forgetting that Islamic terrorism is the primary domestic threat facing the UK. It's inevitable that we will see yet another Islamic atrocity on British soil. There are thousands of you on the terror watch list.

As such, when it happens, I would expect the suspect's mosque to be investigated for extremism, and if found, I would expect and demand it be shuttered at the very least. We should be doing this as a matter of course because the very worst racial hatred in this country is proliferated through British mosques. Antisemitism is endemic to Pakistani culture in Britain. If, however, the British state will not act, then the British public most certainly will eventually. Yesterday's events are the writing on the wall.

I feel a great sadness that it has come to this, and I do not condone any of it, and you have my sympathy. But there must be some renewed dialogue in British Islamic circles. It's simply not acceptable to conduct electioneering in a foreign language. It's not acceptable to drape women in a black sack. It's not acceptable to wear tribal garments from the subcontinent on the streets of our cities. It's not acceptable to marry your first cousins. It's not acceptable to demand blasphemy laws and intimidate politicians, etc. etc. etc.

The British people are tolerant, but that tolerance is not finite. There will come a point where the breakdown of relations between the British public, the state, and British muslims is simply irrecoverable, after which there is no telling which way this goes. I'm sad to say it, but you are right to feel afraid. It's not incumbent on us to change though. Islam in Britain must reform or expect at some point to be removed.
