Dear @Keir_Starmer,

There seems to be an issue with the council tax invoice that I received today from my local council.
It says I have a quite substantial increase, and yet here you are plainly telling me that I won't be paying a penny more from next month.

Did you lie?

Of course you do. You don't care about us, the hard working, white, British, tax payers.
We will never believe anything that comes out of your mouth.

HOLY SHIT….So today it becomes law that muslims and minorities are to be given lesser sentences than white British people, you couldnt make this shit up. But here it is in parliament today.

#GeneralElection - a vote for anyone other than Tories or Labour is NOT a wasted vote! Pass it on!

Dear Young People

I gather that some of you are feeling a bit pissy because you can't afford your dream home out of your wages. You are being told that it's all the fault of the Baby Boomer Generation somehow.

Let me clear that up for you.

When you get your payslip have a look at the deductions. You'll see income tax. And another deduction called National Insurance. These are just the beginning. The money that THE GOVERNMENT takes away from you before you even SEE your wages.

You'll see Council tax. And energy bills with VAT & greenscam subsidy taxes.

VAT is something you'll pay on most of the things you buy.
You will also pay taxes, levies & green subsidy costs on petrol and diesel fuel. You'll pay tobacco duty. Alcohol duty. And many, many other taxes.

You get taxed on what you earn, taxed on what you spend, taxed on what you save & when the time comes you will get taxed on what your parents try to leave to you.

Your biggest expense is government. Local, national & do not for a moment believe that you're not still paying the EU in countless little sneaky ways.

And on what is all your hard-earned, easy-go money spent?
Foreign aid to countries that hate us. This is partly boomerang money. A lot of it comes back to the people who send it out either through administration costs, charities or dodgy contracts. None of it comes back to YOU.

QUANGOs. There are thousands of these. They exist for two main purposes. Firstly as 'employment' opportunities for the pointless parasitic bureaucrats who run them. Also for politicians who have been voted out of office but need rewarding for the service they provided to the establishment. And secondly, QUANGOs provide convenient support for whatever bogus narrative the government is trying to push.

Charities. No such thing. They receive donations from the government (i.e. your taxes) & the money is spent on big salaries for board members. Any actual work done by the charity is done by volunteers for free.

Civil Service. An immense bureaucracy dedicated to the pay, perks, promotions & pensions of the bureaucrats. And it just keeps getting bigger & greedier.

The NHS. Another bureaucracy. A hospital is a large office building with some wards bolted on for the look of the thing. Bureaucrats include diversity, outreach, inclusion & equality staff who have absolutely nothing to do with healing the sick.

Education. This is one of the worst because of the sheer volume of lies that 'teachers' are telling. Lies about the climate, about race, about history & about the rules society should follow.

You can tar every government department with the same brush including the armed forces now. Bureaucracy has subsumed whatever purpose the departments originally had.
Another massive expense is the consequences of importing the third world into Britain. You have been told that this is a net benefit & the nation is enjoying the wonderful benefits of a dynamic and vibrant multicultural society.

That is a MASSIVE lie.

One other lie you've been continually fed. The one about 'having it all'. You can't. WE earned what we have and managed to keep it despite the rapacious assaults of overtaxing political bastards because we managed our money.

Money spent on the latest iPhone, another holiday in Spain, takeaway junk food every night, gym membership you don't use & designer handbags is money NOT spent on saving for a house. You are under relentless advertising pressure to have the latest, most fashionable & glitziest of so many things that you really don't need. Learn to resist.

In the end all your parents can do is advise you. And this is advice that is coming from people who are NOT politicians & corporations who want all your money for as little return as possible. We don't have celebrities advertising what we say. We can't afford them because we're not the ones robbing you to pay for stuff like that.

Think a little instead of automatically believing the bastards who are really stealing from you.

@webdevcody I was loooking at doing something like this but ended up down the rabbit hole of PWAs and push notifications - this looks so much simpler 🙌🏻
