I'm curious as to why you think you don't benefit from taxes being paid by you and by others.
I say "by you" on the assumption that you pay taxes of some variety or other.

He's probably one of those "taxes are theft" types.
Instead it will just benefit those in the 'hated' northern Ireland. What's in it for me! Sigh....
I'd rather make my own living without suckling hard on the teet of the 5%.

Another on the ignore list. Strange how dowie has gone quiet.
What this tells me is that people aren't paid enough. If nearly half of all workers don't earn enough (£10,600) to pay any income tax there is clearly an issue and it isn't tax, it's wealth inequality.
Rather than increase the amount being paid it's been combated by increasing the amount of tax free earnings, which is just another way that the government is subsiding businesses. If they paid more the tax burden would be more evenly shared between the lowest and highest earners.
So there's a choice, either companies have to give up some of their profits to pay livable wages or we have to raise taxes for higher earners to cover the gap low wages create.

one of the nothing to hide brigade then
, blind to the idea that everybody is going to be affected, you might not put anything of worth online but that doesnt mean others dont.presumably you go down to the local branch every time you need to manage your finances, which is fine, although where do you think the bank stores your data? on bits of paper?

What do you put online that has worth and is at risk from Theresa May?
There's nothing in my bank accounts that I feel the need to hide from the government.

Do they not? Isn't only providing those services free to lower earners just a round about way of taxing the middle and higher classes anyway?

do i need to spell it out?
government harvests data
goverment keeps data in one big storage
goverment can't keep security for **** and now all that juicy data is in one place ripe for the picking
data is leaked/hacked/stolen
and there goes your money.....
and that's before we get onto removing freedom of the media, last i checked the only people traditionally opposed to freedom of the media were facist dictators and ISIS
Unless, as it becomes increasingly obvious just what people going to have to sacrifice as May continues to push for a hard Brexit, we end up having a second referendum
.So far 53% of people in the latest poll now favour a second referendum and that's likely to continue to rise, especially if things continue to to look bleaker and bleaker. Don't be surprised if the harder the Brexit deal looks the greater the proportion of people wanting a second referendum becomes.
It's up to May and the Conservatives now to try and pacify those hard leavers as much as possible while changing little. If they don't Brexit may never happen.
So your issue isn't about the government about having the data but about the security of that data?

When did the Conservative party become so obsessed with regulating the Internet. It should logically be against everything they stand for: freedom of speech, liberty, personal responsibility, no regulation, etc.
