@IrelandsCall96@fox_cathy40187@little_pengelly Don't be daft, it's all public money which can be realocated to other gov depts via monitoring rounds. ยฃ5m due to an illegal protest could have been used on something else!
@openminded_26@Dungivensir1@CarnmoneyLad If England left the UK do you think it would be the responsibility of tax payers here in n.i., Wales and Scotland to continue to pay state pensions to pensioners in England ๐
@openminded_26@Dungivensir1@CarnmoneyLad If you don't understand the diff between people moving abroad and a whole population of tax payers leaving the UK to join with another country and pay taxes there then dear help you. This was already confirmed in the Scottish ref btw.
@openminded_26@CarnmoneyLad Yes be factual. State pensions would not be paid as they are a UK state benefit paid by current UK tax payers thru national insurance contributions. There is no state pension pot.
@IrelandsCall96@fox_cathy40187@little_pengelly Again you are missing the point as to why it cost ยฃ5m to police, and why therefore there is less public money to go around other depts for eg EA to feed school children.
@IrelandsCall96@fox_cathy40187@little_pengelly The point was made it cost ยฃ5m. And the reason for that was due to people illegally blocking a lawful parade for weeks. It would not have cost anywhere near that if the parade had went ahead as planned.
