I'm trying to work out how my 50+ years of paying taxes, (income tax, national insurance, fuel duty, VAT, savings tax, insurance tax, air passenger duty, "green taxes", council tax, stamp duty etc), has provided me with more rights and benefits than if I'd arrived here illegally on a dinghy last week.

So far I've drawn a blank.

I've still to factor in that I don't get a free phone, free accommodation, free clothing and shoes, free food and drink, free spending money, free dentistry, free taxi to hospital appointments, free access to historic sites and places of interest and free legal representation if I wish to complain about not getting enough free stuff.

Is anyone else trying to make sense of this?

@iAnonPatriot Ha! Oh yeah that’s gonna work.

Restore Britain’s five step plan to end the welfare scam.

Number one.

No benefits for foreigners. Saves billions and billions every year. If a Somalian family is living on benefits in social housing funded by the British taxpayer, I wish them well. In Somalia. No discussion needed. Huge savings to be had.

Second.

The ballooning welfare bill is not solely down to foreign nationals, far from it. There are a huge number of British people taking the mick. The system is there for the taking, and they are doing exactly that. Claiming some disability or another, when there is evidently nothing wrong.

Face-to-face assessments are vital, regular and vigorous.

- Dedicated welfare fraud investigation units.
- Proper data-sharing between HMRC, DWP and local authorities.
- Automatic recovery of fraudulent claims from future earnings.

And actually through doing this, we can give proper support to those British men and women who genuinely need it. A fair, robust and compassionate approach.

Third.

A life on benefits for a healthy individual is NOT acceptable. If you can work, you must work. A few months to find a desired job is reasonable, but after that - if you want your benefit money, you will be put to work.

That is Restore Britain’s position.

Litter picking, street cleaning, gardening, scraping chewing gum off the pavement. Whatever. If it needs doing and you want the money, you’re doing it.

Random drug tests for those on benefits - if you’re getting high, the benefits stop.

Tough love.

Next.

Reintroduce the two child cap. Hardworking British parents shouldn’t have to subsidise indolence.

If you want more children, get a job.

Finally.

Tax cuts.

Raise the thresholds. Make it so that going back to work is financially rewarding. Obviously. Reward hard work, and people will do more of it. If people feel like going into work is actually worth it, they will do it. It must never pay to sit on benefits.

More training, more apprenticeships. A skilled and active workforce. Contributing, not taking. That is what we need.

A Restore Britain Government will ensure no household receives more in out-of-work benefits than the equivalent working family earns after tax.

The welfare system should protect those who cannot work, support those who fall on hard times, and help people back into employment as quickly as possible.

It should never be more attractive than work.

Restore Britain will reward contribution and ambition, not indolence and entitlement.

End the welfare scam, slash the bill, crush inflation.

@commons96055467 “I am not an expert in finance”. Yeah we got that.

[Mbrooks @Mbrooks84]

@omgsidewalks Maybe they are smart enough to realise that you can’t ’solve world poverty’ just by throwing money at it.

[Mbrooks @Mbrooks84]

@ronsterd89 That is incorrect.

[Mees Wynants @MeesWynants]

Only 8 million people pay for the entire United Kingdom.

The UK has 70 million people. 40 million pay no tax at all. Of the 30 million who do, only 8 million pay more into the system than they take out. They are funding a government that keeps importing more people who take more out than they put in.

This is pure economic and civilizational suicide of the UK.

@PopularLiberal All of this is barely coherent nonsense, even the photo is fake. Just stop embarrassing yourself.

@LibbyTard17 The irony of making this statement about other people’s low intelligence.

[Mbrooks @Mbrooks84]

@gingerrtom No it’s both.

[Mbrooks @Mbrooks84]

@NotFarLeftAtAll Because I live in Britain and pay attention.

@BladeoftheS Poland is also taking steps to avoid becoming a third world shit hole.

You paid in for forty years. Never missed a day you could help. Never took a penny you hadn't earned.

And this is the country they handed you back.

Four million people now on sickness benefit. Half a million of them under thirty, signed off before they ever clocked a single shift.

Your taxes don't build roads anymore. They don't fix the hospital you wait eight months to be seen in. They go to a bill so big the government now spends more keeping people unwell than it raises from every wage in the land.

And when that runs short, they print. And the few quid you saved buys less every year to plug a hole you never dug.

You did everything right.
They did everything wrong.

And somehow it is you left with nothing.

@omgsidewalks What?!

@TheGriftReport Why not just be honest about why they don’t want to support alcohol.

@SteveSchmidtSES The war monger, the adulterous sex pest, the race baiting con man and the senile old coot. Who wouldn’t be proud.

[Mbrooks @Mbrooks84]

@DamianLow3 And you know this, how?

@SenWarren You wouldn’t though, you would waste and steal it like you do already.
