Color Scheme

Lee Hurst: Genuinely biased and politically motivated...

Genuinely biased and politically motivated. If he were let out on bail and broke his conditions then bang him up, but this is quite ridiculous. It is what it is. This is why I advocate the ballot box over the protest all day long. Protests let off a bit if steam, give you a brief feel good buzz and achieve nothing except a few martyrs as they hammer you down. With a Reform govt all of this bias would be stopped. There would be a clear out of these people wielding their power for political bias. A mass sacking event.

Lee Hurst: As usual, no one in govt...

As usual, no one in govt will be looking into the chaotic care system and addressing the massive inefficiencies of carers spending more time driving between clients rather than actually with them. Instead, they will simply use the hammer of more tax rises to paper over it. One example. After my mum with dementia had been discharged from hospital and left bed bound due to their ‘care’ (she had walked in). The NHS initially paid for her home carers. I then had a 2 hour phone conversation with 4 separate agencies at the same time for what the council bloke told me was a 99% certainty that the NHS would cease funding her care and it would fall upon the local council. In other words 4 x 2 hours so a whole working day’s public sector salary waste of time for a foregone conclusion. Then there was the state funded charity conversation to simply tell me how to claim attendance allowance for mum rather than them just issuing it. It’s a total industry drowning in waste. Before another penny is stolen from the taxpayer, sort it out first.

Lee Hurst: Britain spends £177 billion...

Britain spends £177 billion on welfare (this excludes those on the state pension). The take home pay for someone on minimum wage is £20,800 per year. If we divide the £177 Bn by the minimum wage it comes to 8,509,615 people. Eight and a half million people getting an average of £20,800 without leaving their sofas and doing nothing. Someone justify this to me and tell me this is morally acceptable. Obvs many people will be getting far more than £20,800 and some much less, but the point remains. Explain to a person on minimum wage why they should turn up for work and take home less money than 8.5 million other idle people after deducting travel expenses.
