@Joanna__Hardy As of August 07, 2025, the best estimate is that approximately 100-150 people have been murdered by released murderers in the UK since the death penalty was abolished in 1965
@NeilClark66 On one hand we're told the UK state pension is the lowest paid in Europe, on the other hand, we're told the cost of pensions will bankrupt the UK.
How can both be true?
Just listen to how out of depth @Ed_Miliband is here in this car crash interview.
Heโs a clueless, dangerous moron who is making us all poorer.
The sooner he is sacked, the better.
24.3% of the money you work to earn to pay your tax bill is spent on "Other."
Remember, you don't just pay income tax and national insurance, you also pay VAT, fuel, tobacco and alcohol duty with your already-taxed income.
So, somewhere around 50% of your time spent working to earn money is just to pay the government.
They then take 24% of that and spend in on "Other."
So you work roughly an hour a day, or 220 hours a year to pay for "Other."
And you're ok with that?
