@KirstieMAllsopp@karlrgibson1 How much disposable income someone has is irrelevant. What matters is how much it costs to provide public services which, after all, is what this tax is supposed to pay for. It costs more to provide these in London than elsewhere in the UK.
@KirstieMAllsopp Off street parking and a garden are not public services. Public services are things like waste collection, and cost more in London than they do in Manchester.
@veritasPLANET@mikegardner_wb All public services cost more to provide in London than anywhere else in the UK e.g. because the providers are affected by greater living and land costs.
@KonstantinKisin His premiership is on shaky foundations though. Either he sticks to Starmer's manifesto, which raises the question of why we have him now rather than Starmer, or, as appears to be the case, he doesn't, in which case he needs a new mandate, i.e. a GE. This isn't going away.
@ClimateWarrior7 A cardboard cutout of Mussolini holding a first draft of one of the Harry Potter novels, before even the publisher had seen it. I'd heard the rumours about JK sending all her work to Il Duce to make suggestions/improvements but never thought I'd see concrete proof.
@ClimateWarrior7 The Isle of Man genocide - never forget. Their flag shall defiantly commemorate the indigenous people's biology until the end of time.
What we must, however, forget are the few four-legged South American tribes who rolled around like living swastikas.
@thevoteuk A good start would be to direct existing resources to the genuinely sick and and away from work-shy, blue-haired, nose-ringed, morbidly-obese ADHD 'sufferers'.
@LairdSummerisle Perhaps, Lord Summerisle, the answer is to give Britain back its joyous old gods, updated to meet current needs. There would be the god of the roads, the god of the bins, the god of the pubs, the NHS etc.. Of course they would have to be appeased, with sacrifices where necessary.
@Lazzard59@mumtomingus@AllisonPearson Yes, we'd be protected okay, by keeping him in Broadmoor to the tune of £250k to £500k+ p.a. for, say, 50 years. That's £12.5m to £25m. Anyone who can't think of far better uses of such a sum needs their own head examined.
