National insurance cut

[Freakbro]

Not really funny though is it, you'll be old one day.

No guarantees on that

True, but I have to admit I did make the same type of comment when I was 18 and just started work. Youth values are completely different to old age values

Just said this to my son and he said that they don't just burst so had you had problems before hand( not giving medical advice here, he's an ambulance technician)?

Yeh it started out like really bad trapped wind, and within a few hours the pain was so bad I called an ambulance (never felt anything like it, it was so bad, sweat running off me, could barrely talk or stand). I don't know exacly when it ruptured, but it had done by the time I got scanned at hospital, the whole period from first slight pain, to scan was maybe 5 hours? I cant really remember as I was in so much pain, (the morphine and codiene they gave me on admission was only just enough to take the edge off the pain, it was still really painfull) it can happen quick and you have to recognise it and get to hospital ASAP. Was in hospital a further week due to infection from the rupture.

I may have had probelm in the run up that I dismissed as bad trapped wind but I don't really recall, the whole thing was a blur.

The things you describe in your post are broadly unfixable, by any party.

Under our current voting system is it because we flip flop between spending under Labour to cutting under Conservatives accept now even Labour won’t(can’t) come to the rescue.

Bring on coalition governments that can look past a single term and keep each parties worst qualities at bay.

I dont even think that is the issue. The example you gave has so many social issues embedded, can anyone, even given 30 years, alter it?

That single mother at no fault of her own now has to look after a baby so cannot have a job. The local nurseries are all either booked out, closing because Government subsidises do not cover their cost and so do ‘top-up’ fees to make it work as a business. The single mother can’t find a local job because there are no council or affordable houses so the nearest job is 70 minutes away via a bus that only comes twice an hour because the bus company cut routes. So she needs to leave early and get back late, meaning more nursery cost that the Gov won’t cover. When all is said and done, when bus ticket, lunch, child costs, heating a poor quality house etc etc she’s £12.50 better off a month. Why bother? Why not spend that time bringing up your child instead of a stranger?

Why so many single mothers that are needing this support because family break ups have left so many unable to support themselves?

Why so much demand for local nurseries and why such high cost? I read somewhere recently that 80% of all pre-school childcare hours are now paid for by the Government. 80%! How can taxpayers afford continually rising childcare costs when its nearly all subsidised?

Poor availability of social housing will take decades to fix.

Bus only comes twice an hour (common everywhere in the country outside of London) because its only economically viable to run at this (or lower) frequency. Again, who pays to run buses that only a handful of people might use during rush hour?

So I agree with you - why should this example person bother? Answer is they shouldn't and it would be better if they had been a dual parent family with one working parent and the other stay at home parent like in the old days. Society has made it so that two salaries are required to even survive these days, that can never be undone.

Remember, you can make voluntary contributions to HMRC if you're complaining about this tax cut.

I sympathise with you, it must have been scary aswell but the son said that a lot of people leave things til the last minute to phone for an ambulance. I'm sorry to have to say this but they would've preferred you to have got to the hospital earlier under your own steam(friend or taxi) than wait for them to arrive. If that sounds harsh it is just the way they would prioritise things, cardiac, non breathing take first place

This is what is needed essentially, however it won't be a quick fix, I've said this earlier posts that you need that balanced view, to work for the country as a whole and not just one party or another. We've had a fair few years to make some progress in politics but we just keep on stumbling back to the same position.

Funny, but you can't just pay them over if you feel like it.

To be honest I'll vote for a party that starts off with something serious that reduces expenditure and starts the ball rolling for everything else. You have to start somewhere, and unfortunately asylum is what we don't need.

I would go for a party that has high rate of refusing asylum seekers, if those asylum do manage to get through then once it is safe they would be pushed back to their own country, irrelevant of what they build here.

I would literally push the boats back. I would warn those on the otherside, then it is their choice.

There would be zero government money if they make it to the UK.

If the international community has a problem with this they they can give us money to cover the costs.

I would create 1strike policy. If asylum seekers commit a crime they will be shipped out including their nearest family members.

No more British naturalisation unless it is a skill that is needed in this country.

I would slowly reduce NHS private contracts, start to make NHS accountable.
Turn the hiring and firing of staff more in line with the private sector.
Create an anonymous system of hiring and interviewing. By getting another hospital to filter candidates.
Stop those with family getting their own incompetent family members to join their department ( this is where the biggest problems come from).

Get a doctor to assist running the department.
Do away with affordable rents and create social rents for workers.

Design a commercial department to push through new medical Innovations and export them.

Reduce foreign investment in residential homes. This would be difficult because the UK economy is designed for landlords.

Foriegn workers before they enter the country will need to sign up to NHS / education government
insurance premium. 1 year in advance. If they don't have this or private care or country medical arrangement between the UK and country or origins, they will not been seen.

This would be enforced by putting ownership onto staff that allow them to pass the barriers( they would need to pay the yearly NHS insurance addition).

I will start to look how we bring back infrastructure that would be important for the safety and national security of this country.
I start with water companies, everyone needs water.

I would not subsidise companies that were once in the public hands. They are private, I would then fix max charges on utilities.if they go bust the government takes over the running, and rules would be inline with the private sector.

I would then reduce N I contributions and tax for companies.


No tax discounts for charities that provide a service to none UK nationals.

Sick benefits would be assessed by doctors by referral. The level of payment would be associated by illness and ability to work.

I would reintroduce the foreign aid budget and strictly provide it to country's have very low GDP. Companies that have access to this budget would be UK companies.

Crime, min sentence 8 years to life for stabbing or acid attacks. I would make them work in some prison industry to earn money to pay their victims.

Increase min sentence for all crimes and introduce the criminals to work.

Prison cell would have bed sink toilet and no electric sockets. Each prisoner would be allowed 1 education study book.

I believe this would reduce costs for all UK nationals, provide a better standard of care and allow the economy expand.

It would assist to reduce waiting times and provide more jobs.

This would be the start, it is better that everyone else that is not British suffer than everyone suffering.

I tell you what Jack you need to become a politician,
Some good thinking there,

 

[tonys]

Ofcourse it needs to be expanded on. We can't continue running the country like we have. Some very hard choices need to made, and the indigenous people of this country should be placed first, unfortunately yes, some will suffer but we can't help the world.

What would you call the party if you did start one?

 

[Hagar]

Reform UK.

 

[tonys]

Reform UK.

No we already have them, it's got to be more punchy

 

[tonys]

Not sure, but to many people are suffering in this country. Unfortunately most of this suffering is because of their generosity.

Because of our generosity the UK has become a platform for other nations problems, like marches about other countries, which causes Internal problems.

The only trouble I envisage is the ideas that you have would get watered down by every Tom, Dick and Harry who didn't agree with you (oh does that sound similar to what happens now)

Once we balanced our economy, then we can possibly help none British nationals. Ofcourse this would be restricted by surplus cash the country has. It could go up or down just like investment products.

Do we actually have any stats showing what percentage of NHS budget goes non citizens.....seems a lot of finger pointing but not sure what the actual impact is....

Also locking people up for longer in horrible place's is done in USA and does not work....

 

[Narj]

I guess quite a few people max out their isas who this is useful for.

The way I feel about that is that I suspect returns are likely to be abysmal given that the government seem to like suffocating businesses. I'd rather use a GIA as overspill to invest elsewhere and make use of capital gains allowance, transferring profits in next tax year (Bed & ISA).

Would be nice to know the impact.

What is the alternative.... As our system does not work either and i would sooner have them locked up than roaming the streets..... Maybe a combination of chain gangs + longer sentences + electric shock therapy.

We keep trying the same thing expecting differing results..... But lets pander more to the lefty liberals.

 

[Narj]

How many workers can save the max into an ISA? None, many aren't even putting money into them, Only the well off can.

It does seem like a nonsense aimed at those doing better. Raising tax thresholds is what should have happened if anything.

Electric shock therapy.....well this country your building sounds lovely....
