Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.

But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.

Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Trooping the Colour, how much do you pay for this ridiculous charade?

£20,000,000

That is 800 Nurses, 500 Doctors or 1000 Teachers.

We need all of them, we don't need this.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

In 2024 UK companies made £594bn in profit.

They employ 27.8m people.

This means they could have afforded on average to pay each worker £21,367 more.

That's the minimum wage being robbed from every single worker in the UK by billionaires.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

How many people in the UK have died due to war in the last few decades?

None.

How many people in the UK have died due to austerity in the last few decades?

Well over 350,000.

We need to invest in public services, not war.

RT if you agree.

Thames Water who are £21bn in debt and just raised their customers bills by £800m a year, have given their executives a 50% bonus totalling more than £5m.

Why aren't they all in jail?

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

In 2015 David Cameron privatised the National Fostering Agency, it's now being paid £160m a year straight to a New Jersey tax haven to manage the fostering of just 2,616 children

A tax free profit of £61,000 per child, and they don't even provide any care, that's the fosters job

We would like to thank @KirbyGroupEng for their support with our new stand.

The only nation on the planet to create a 'VIP Lane' to funnel money to friends and family of the Conservatives for supplying bogus second hand products at vast profits to themselves was the UK.

All the money should be recovered and everybody involved should be in jail.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Since 2021 your Food Bill has gone up £300 a year above inflation, your petrol bill (including Public Transport) £250 a year, your Energy Bill £800 a year and Water £200.

The average person is now paying an extra £2500 a year for excess profits.

It needs to be stopped.

Let this sink in

71% of voters want wealth taxes.

90% of MPs don't.

[Emma Parris Higgins @emhiggs22]

there is something very, very, very wrong in the system... 😡

So … let me get this straight:

* British Gas made a profit of £1.3bn between January & June

* BP announced profits of £6.95 billion between April and June alone

* Shell has profited by £9.4bn in a year

The MEN at the top:

* John Pettigrew, boss of National Grid received £6.5m bonus on top of his salary

* Chris O’Shea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was paid almost £2m last year in salary and benefits

* Centrica's non-executive directors were paid almost £1m

* Scottish Power's CEO Keith Anderson is on £1.15m.

* E.On boss Michael Lewis is on £1m

* EDF's Simone Rossi is also on £1m

* And their top execs enjoyed a share of £4.65m

* Peter Simpson of Anglian Water earned a £1.3m pay package

* Welsh Water bosses awarded themselves bonuses of over £930,000

* Severn Trent bosses awarded themselves bonuses of £5.56m

* Thames Water's Sarah Bentley, received a £727,000 bonus on top of her £2m annual salary

Meanwhile there are...

* People who haven't had breakfast and/or lunch TODAY, because they can't afford it.

* People using FoodBanks because food is becoming more of a luxury than a necessity.

* Children celebrating a birthday without presents.

* Parents worrying about new school uniforms - and some schools enforcing rules which are not cost-effective.

* People who can't get to work because they can't afford to put petrol in their cars/pay for public transport anymore.

* People who are working so much they're making themselves ill, and they STILL CAN'T AFFORD to pay their bills.

* People who have been given fines by these same energy/water companies because they couldn't afford to pay their bills in the first place - increasing their debt.

* Customers being told to do STAR JUMPS TO KEEP WARM for crying out loud!

* Hose pipe bans when gallons of water leak away everyday.

* Elderly people NOT DRINKING because they're worried about running out of water!!!

All this and energy prices are set to rise up to 75% in October...

THIS IS MADNESS!.. I'm all for supporting profits … I'm not for supporting greed at the cost of lives of others.

Something needs to change.

Why is customers' money being used to make life more comfortable for those who are making life more intolerable for the rest of us?

I actually don't understand how the energy companies are allowed to get away with this and why the government aren't stopping them instead of handing out money.

Sky News: MP's pay to rise 2.8% to £95,000

2025 carer's allowance: £3,986

The UK has one of the highest retirement ages in the world, the lowest pension in Europe, some of the longest working hours in Europe, one of the lowest minimum wages, the highest energy costs, the biggest profits, and the lowest taxes for the richest.

It all needs to change.

This is definitely one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in a long time. It’s a deadly piss-take of every GAA sponsorship advert on TV, and it’s funny because it’s true.

[mickylavelle @MLavelle2000]

@goonercody He went the wrong way for them all. And fell over for the 4th😡
