@Nowhere_X_Any @hol40900 @Nigel_Farage Then why bring some cans of red stripe to sink? It's faux outrage by mainly x football hooligans who look for any opportunity to have a dig at the police. They are meatheads pure and simple.

@SkyNews This feed is full of people moaning that instead of investing in new infrastructure to attract new investment, thousands of jobs and years of tax receipts, we should be making Britain look and feel like 1954. Little fucking backward England!

@mickwill46 @tradingnews483 @SkyNews Not many will want to come to a field 40 miles east of Paris... Oh wait 15.8 million a year and 445 million since Disneyland Paris opened.

@ZiaYusufUK They will only be screening women for breast cancer next! Disgusting! 😡

@HoraceGoesX @DanCPhillips @thetimes All benefits are paid by those that work, and actually most people on universal care are working.

Care IS benefit. If the state is handing stuff out to you it's a benefit. Bums still get old and need care, you don't magically become fully taxed up because you are old.

[KM @KevinMerce71290]

@RachelD1892 @bphillipsonMP Rubbish though isn't it? Because millions of people in full time work can't just decide to take 4 hours less of work a week, and those in flexible part time roles often don't earn enough to reach the tax thresholds in any meaningful way, so it's just a tax cut for the wealthy.

@jacklesliehope @bphillipsonMP So hard working 6am people don't send their kids to school, only benefit scroungers? Idiotic response.

[KM @KevinMerce71290]

@Lord_Talbot64 @Pirate_Kit @bphillipsonMP By that argument close all schools and tax people even less! There is a proven learning benefit to kids getting a breakfast, so it's actually an investment in getting the best out the other money spent on education.

@ThePosieParker Are you taking some cans of Stella like the others?

[KM @KevinMerce71290]

@TheSageViews @ZiaYusufUK They really really won't.

@I_amMukhtar Someone's getting arrested.....again. How much he going to cost us in prison keep?

[KM @KevinMerce71290]

@TheScholar44 @Bajones06427851 @jowilliams293 Yes they did. When they increased cost, we got an email explaining with the term invoice. When VAT was introduced we got a school town hall meeting, letters from the head and a pre formatted letter from them to send to our MP. But I take your general point about education.

[KM @KevinMerce71290]

@TheScholar44 @Bajones06427851 @jowilliams293 It hit parents just the same. Costs added for this by schools are no different to my pocket than ones paid in VAT. Schools hardly murmured making those changes, and called merry hell on the VAT. That is my factual lived experience. So I won't to crying crocodile tears for them.

[KM @KevinMerce71290]

@diana_kane84719 @jowilliams293 I never said they didn't. My point is it was done as BAU, but for the VAT increase they had a campaign with letters sent home!

[KM @KevinMerce71290]

@TheScholar44 @Bajones06427851 @jowilliams293 They charged me 20% but like any business their own costs belong to them. I don't think any business putting their costs up 20% with no improvement in service is something to applaud. And my point is this was all done as BAU by them, but a huge campaign for the VAT increase!

[KM @KevinMerce71290]

@TheScholar44 @womaninblue1050 @paullewismoney @jowilliams293 I get that, and if they were ran for the wider community I'd agree. However as it's a paid for club with paid for services I I see if different. I know some do wider community work, but it's far from the reason they exist like a true charity does. Again just my experience.

[KM @KevinMerce71290]

@TheScholar44 @womaninblue1050 @paullewismoney @jowilliams293 Yes I'm not arguing that schools have not been exempt, I'm suggesting that some forms of education do incur VAT, and I personally from my experience see those private schools as businesses. Therefore I never saw the logic of them being exempt.

[KM @KevinMerce71290]

@KemiBadenoch No worries the biggest welfare costs are pensions. Will you commit to reducing these costs? I'll wait ....

[KM @KevinMerce71290]

@TheScholar44 @womaninblue1050 @paullewismoney @jowilliams293 Not strictly true. I get your point but all my professional development learning, online and class room is charged VAT, so I feel it's more about the organisation than education in the round. Just my opinion. 🤷‍♀️
