Gen Sosabowski raised concerns about Op Market Garden and, despite the bravery of 1st (Polish) Independent Parachute Brigade, was unfairly blamed for the mission's failure by Field Marshal Montgomery.

It’s this type of arrogant, liberal, mind set that is putting innocent people at risk.

I was there. I also could have been stabbed. Police gave this man ample time to put down his weapon. He charged at them several times while police backed away. Eventually he was tased but refused to give up large knife. He was shouted at several times and then kicked.

This attacker wanted to kill as many Jews as possible today and all you can say is that excessive force was used against him?

Are you taking your own drugs Dr?

So the Green Party want to open borders, make drugs legal & abolish prisons! Wow. I genuinely think you need to be missing your marbles if you vote for this.

[James May @MrJamesMay]

There’s a bit if that, inevitably. There are also a lot of people who find you annoying. To be frank, I find you quite annoying, and I imagine you feel the same about me.

I also think that if we spent an evening together in the pub, I’d come away quite liking you, and you, me. I doubt we’d agree on much, but I disagree with many of my closest friends. It’s a large part of what makes them my mates.

Relax. You massive Wensleydale.

44.7% of the U.K population do not contribute any income tax at all

Yet the top 1% pay 33% of the tax

And the top 10% pay 69% of the total tax revenue 

A £25,000 earner pays £2,486 but a £150,000 earner pays £53,460 in tax 

So no, we should NOT tax the rich more. They are ALREADY taxed more. 

No wonder all the millionaires are leaving the U.K. 

And how is this ‘fair’?

An elite class that sneers at citizens who express their patriotism by displaying national flags in their communities is sure to get a hostile reaction when it asks those same citizens to pick up a rifle and fight to defend the nation against some perceived enemy. Britain's elite class has spent years denigrating national identity and anyone who believes in it. Now it expects those same people to fight for it in the name of 'patriotism'. Good luck with that.

April 2022 Income Tax Threshold £12,570
April 2031 Income Tax Threshold £12,570

Should be about £16,970.

Meaning every person earning £16,970 or more is paying £1,231.86 more in tax.

Threshold freezes are a tax on the poorest.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Time and again Keir Starmer told us if we made him PM he’d kickstart growth and make UK fastest growing economy in G7 during the second half of the decade.
He (and Reeves) have done the opposite.
The last Tory Budget was March 2024 when the OBR forecast the economy would be 9% bigger by start of 2029. Labour dismissed this as akin to stagnation. Fair enough. It was hardly stellar growth.
The latest OBR forecast downgrades that growth to 7% by Q1 2029.
Far from kickstarting the economy he’s knocked the stuffing out of it.

[ClarksonsFarm @ClarksonsFarm1]

Shocked and appalled by the amount of comments labeling farmers as 'tax dodgers', and that they should 'sell up' for the UK to import all of its food.

UK farmers pay Tax similarly to other businesses and individuals, covering income Tax, National insurance, Corporation Tax (if operating as a company), Capital Gains Tax, and VAT (if applicable).

The main distinctions are in targeted reliefs, especially for Inheritance Tax (IHT), which helps to support the agricultural sector as a whole by allowing the transfer of farms for the next generation to work. If a farm is sold, Capital Gains Tax has to be paid on any realised profits.

In 2024 the Agricultural industry contributed £14.5 billion to the economy and employed 452,900 tax paying workers.

So farmers absolutely do pay taxes (and have done for hundreds of years), while currently providing 62% of all food consumed in the UK. What an honourable vocation.

Thank you, Farmers.

Right then... so what she's saying is that...

If you have worked hard, saved money all your life in order to not burden the state

If you have tried to better yourself and provide for your children by feeding them.

If you haven't been able to afford children because you have chosen to work

If you have started a business in the hope you can eventually sell and use your gains to fund your old age

If you did as you were told and bought a hybrid car

If you invested in an ISA to help you save

If you employed young workers to train them and help them develop

If you bought a house and invested in with tax paid salary, so you had a bit of a nest egg

If you only had the children you could afford....

You are all fucked! Today, you have been told that all those people who did none of the above will be funded even more by you.

[Geoff Norcott @GeoffNorcott]

Hitting people saving for their pensions at a time when we’ll have to work longer knowing we’ll get less from the state is a special kind of stupid.
