@PeterMcCormack@JujuliaGrace Don’t waste your breath on champagne socialists. They just hate enterprise of any kind, anything that shines a light on their welfare fetishes.
ITALIANS FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM HAVE UNITED AGAINST THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT, THEY HAVE CALLED A GENERAL STRIKE AND REFUSED TO PAY ALL TAX UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT ABANDONS THE FORCED DIGITAL ID WALLET !
Digital ID cards have been available in Italy since 2010 but they are voluntary with virtually no uptake by Italians but the government announced that a mandatory EU digital wallet will now be required for all Italian citizens by 2026, immediately Italians of all walks of life called a general strike and have brought Italy to a standstill.
All EU states and western countries that are also planning to implement the same digital ID system are intentionally suppressing this massive protest and even attempting to pretend they dont know why the Italians are protesting.
These protests can and most certainly will break out across Europe as the deadline to have an EU digital wallet for all European citizens by 2026 moves forward.
•EU Digital Identity Wallet: As part of a new EU-wide regulation (eIDAS 2.0), Italy, like other member states, is required to offer its citizens a digital identity wallet by 2026. Pilot projects are already underway across Europe.
We could achieve so much in the UK if we also called a general strike and boycotted council tax payments, just until the government agrees to engage with us on democratic terms, we can place our council tax money in an account awaiting to be paid as soon as the government begins to represent us.

@GiovanniBRNFO@UcciRaffaella Ma quei carrelli come pensi che si riordinino? Uno dentro l’altro no? Ergo le rotelle vanno sempre dentro il carrello successivo.
Va la’ va.
Starting and running a business in 2025 Britain - let’s walk through it.
You’ve got a good idea, managed to save a few quid to invest and want to give it a go. Let’s say it’s a cafe.
Generate wealth, create jobs and contribute to your local economy. Great idea. You just picked the wrong country to do it in.
Registering the damn thing is complicated enough, and that’s the easy bit. Next up is the bank account? You’re treated like a criminal and it takes week - opening a cafe, not a terrorist cell.
You manage to find a premise, good location. Oh, it costs a fortune. Rent through the roof and you’re forced to pay thousands to the council. For what? The filthy high street? The rapid customer service? Hmm. Yet another rip off. Inspections are a nightmare, it’s never-ending bureaucracy from people who have never created anything in their lives.
But somehow you get it off the ground and things go well. You need to expand, hire someone.
Ouch. PAYE, national insurance, pensions, HR policies, health and safety risk assessments. One wrong step and you’re facing an employment tribunal. Is it even worth the risk?
It’s becoming more and more expensive, and risky, to hire people? Why bother?
Maybe you try and get independent contracted help. Ah. IR35 puts a stop to that. We wouldn’t want any flexibility now, would we? That would make too much sense.
Your accountants already cost an absolute fortune. They’re bleeding you dry just so you comply with the layers and layers of regulations.
But let’s say it’s gone well, and your hard work is paying off. Turnover hits £90k. The dreaded VAT threshold.
That means if you essentially then have to start charging VAT. That means everything gets 20% more expensive for your customers. Or you are forced to absorb the costs. Or you deliberately make less money to stay below the threshold. Just brilliant.
Maybe you want to keep the cafe open later? Serve some alcohol? Have some music on?
More licences. More costs. More inspections. More bureaucracy. Why bother?
Waste collection even costs a fortune. Remind me, why are you already paying the council? You try and ring the council, you’re on hold for 30 minutes. Brilliant. Customers are waiting. You finally speak to someone. They’re rude, and haven’t got a clue what they’re doing. They promise they’ll get back to you, but they only work four days a week and on Thursday they’re working from home. No answer, you have to chase and chase and chase.
Incompetence reigns.
Right. We’ve got through all of that, now you want to pay yourself? Not unreasonable is it? For working 16 hour days to get the business off the ground?
Corporation tax slices your profit down. Maybe there’s some left. Dividend allowance has been cut, so there’s less to take there. Tax rates are up too. Hmm. Okay, well let’s take a small salary and some dividends. Maybe you’ve got student debt too which takes a large chunk?
It is brutal.
Even making money costs money. It costs to deposit, it costs to accept card payments.
No holiday, no protection, no respect. All risk, and you’re treated like dirt by the Government.
You look at it all and just think, why bother? Why not work for the public sector as some irrelevant bureaucrat obstructing everyone else? Get 60k, 35 days holiday and you can literally never be sacked. What’s the point? Why take the risk? Just do that instead.
We desperately need to back British enterprise. Reward those who take all of the risk. And actually, support local businesses where we all can.
We should be slashing corporation tax, doubling the VAT threshold, increasing personal allowances, abolishing business rates for high street small firms, reducing national insurance contributions, cutting tax on salary/dividends, brutalising red tape and PLENTY more.
If you do these things, you will generate MORE tax revenue. It is really not a complicated principle. Does Reeves understand that? No. The woman is clueless. Absolutely clueless. She does NOT understand what she is forcing on business owners. Let’s see if she can run our cafe for a week. Absolutely NO chance.
I’m with the men and women who build businesses, create wealth, and generate opportunities.
They have my full respect. The politicians running our country certainly do not.
My message to our cafe owner? Keep plugging away, it will get better.
Please know that at least one MP is fighting for you in Westminster.
