@SaulStaniforth@ZackPolanski Trying not to be biased but surely history proves it has been sustainable …. Since 1066? It’s also not a unique British wealth structure- so it’s sustainable world wide…..
@worstall@SaulStaniforth@owenjonesjourno You are wrong - using CPI the decline in agenda for change has been significant between 2009 and 2024. Check the numbers - as a rough guide, a band 7 in 2924 is paid the same as a band 6 was in 2009. Real terms salary eroded by a whole pay band.
@marchinhammer@fortierfinance@Jack_Frodo Air bags that deploy when 30 feet from the ground…. Still going to be fatal for some but could save some lives.
Obviously the true answer is that passengers are disposable and airliners care about profit more than saving a handful of lives.
@wesstreeting It’s only relevant if you quote the net increase / growth in numbers - you are only showing half the picture if you exclude those that retired or left the profession. Usual soon and manipulation of figures by all politicians.
@bobstev53681908@MichelleDewbs Grammar schools are state schools! Your argument fell at the first fence!
Notwithstanding the fact that today’s judges were at school 50 years ago and state secondary schools were completely shite in the 70s. Unfortunately I went to one.
@Machiav65991401@ramonagusta Everyone pays tax in some form eg VAT.
You mean the burden of cost falls on those who can afford it - that’s kind of how all public services work. Perhaps you’d also like a private military to protect you if you want to bypass public goods?
