This is the best analogy yet with a solution for the mess that the UK is now in economically.
I bought a bird feeder. I hung it in my back garden and filled it with seed.
Within a week we had lots of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.
But then the birds started… Building nests in the shed, in the eaves,in the fences and in my garden bushes.
Then came the shit. It was everywhere,on the patio,on the chairs,the table,windows..everywhere!
Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.
And others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night And demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.
After a while,I couldn't even sit in my own back garden anymore. So I took down the Bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the garden.
Soon,the back yard was like It used to be ..... Quiet,serene.... And no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
Now let's see......
Our government gives out Free food,subsidised housing,free medical care and free education, and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.
Then the illegal’s came by the hundreds of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services,small apartments are housing 5 families,you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor,your child's second grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English.
Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box,I have to
press one to hear my bank talk to me in English,and people waving flags other than ”ours” are squawking and screaming in the streets,demanding more rights and free liberties.
Just my opinion,but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.
More and more car parking meters are becoming app payment only. The digitalisation of almost everything means that millions of people who aren’t online (in particular, many pensioners) are being excluded from basic public services like parking a car.
April in the Uk:
6am - de ice the car
12pm - sunbathe and reapply sun cream
8pm - put the heating on
I am 55 and it’s been like that since I was a kid - decades before the biggest scam in the history of scams - @Ed_Miliband and @UKLabour ‘net zero’ climate bollocks.
If you earn over £12.5k - then you pay tax on anything you earn over that
If your pension is over £12.5k then you pay tax on anything you earn over that.
So - if you get benefits in total value of more than 12.5k (inc housing benefit etc) then you should have to pay tax.
That is fairness. All political parties should be looking at this.
We cannot continue to have a two tier system between those who do contribute and those that don’t - especially a system that benefits those who don’t
Anyone getting benefits totalling over £12.5k per year in value should have to pay tax.
If the pensioners have to, and minimum wage workers have to then so should they.
There shouldn’t be a two tier system between those who work or have worked and those who have not
I play golf with a guy sometimes at the club.
He fills every divot, his and others, fixes ball marks anywhere he sees them.
He’ll also pick trash from the bushes.
Sweet, kind, gentleman.
Also a billionaire.
Be that guy.
Not only is their chocolate now full of palm oil and tates like 💩, Cadbury's also seem to be scared of the word "Easter"
@CadburyUK, do better❗️

Hands up if you’ve had your council tax bill for the next year and it’s going up! 🙌🏼
Mine wasn’t frozen, it’s gone up.
Labour lied to get into power.
“Labour would freeze your council tax”
“Not a penny more on your council tax”
“No ifs, no buts”
Lies, lies, and more lies.
