@Lord_Sugar It was a vote against the free loading non Elected EU establishment ,
And Labour leader will get the same rejection as no ones voted for him either
If apparently triple lock pensions are becoming unaffordable then how about checking out public sector pensions & politicians pensions next to see if they are unaffordable @andyburnham
Wow Georgina from London doesn’t hold back on Ash’s show, and my god I don’t think she could have said that ANY better.
People have had ENOUGH!!
She has just said EXACTLY what we are all thinking. 👏👏👍🇬🇧
@LincsEnigma Labour say no donations from foreign billionaires because they can insurance British politics yet the House of Commons and lords is full of foreign politicians 🤔
✌️ Just a reminder of what Dominic Cummings has said :
"Whitehall will break the law to prevent Reform UK winning power. They'll leak medical records, tax records. They'll bug his phone and leak that. They'll do anything that they need to."
We’re witnessing it now with Channel 4, the media and the recent Clacton by-election. They all collaborated with Count Binface to dismantle Reform.
If truckers get fined £2,000 for every illegal found hidden in their trucks entering the UK,
Why don't the RNLI get fined £2,000 for every illegal they bring into the UK
Taxes
OH …UNITED KINGDOM
This is very interesting.
If I give you £1 billion and you stand on a street corner handing out £1 per second, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, you would still not have handed out £1 billion after 31 years!
Now read on. This is true and rather hard to really understand.
The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.
1. A billion seconds ago, it was 1959.
2. A billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive.
3. A billion hours ago, our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
4. A billion days ago, no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
5. A billion Pounds ago was only 13 hours and 12 minutes, at the rate our present government is spending it.

AND I’m sure you can think of more...
STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 60 years ago, and our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt.
We had the largest middle class in the world. A criminal’s life was uncomfortable. What on earth happened?
The state pension is not a random government favour, it’s the back end of a 35–40 year compulsory “contract” where people are forced to hand over National Insurance on the clear promise of a basic pension at the end.
Politicians and think tanks helped design an unfunded, pay‑as‑you‑go system where today’s workers pay today’s pensioners, then have the gall to call it “unsustainable” as if the public dreamt it up.
If a private firm sold you a retirement product on fixed terms, took your money for four decades, then announced at 66 that you “didn’t really need it” and would henceforth be means‑tested or frozen, they would be in court for mis‑selling and fraud.
The crisis here is not pensioners “leeching off the young”, it’s a political class that built a Ponzi‑style NI system, diverted the proceeds for other spending, and now wants to default on the people who kept their side of the bargain.
You do not blame the victims of a defective product for believing the brochure; you go after the people who wrote it.
