Starmer's vision quest

[icowden]

have you not noticed the vast waste UK governments spend our and your money

Well yes:-

• £100bn / year Brexit
• £25bn Test and Trace
• £0.5bn Nightingale Hospitals
• £66bn HS2
• £8bn - Unusable PPE
• £3bn - Covid furlough fraud
• Boris's No 10 redecoration

Are there no Scotttish F*ckwits? If so, you must be blessed ...

Not here in Hong Kong

 

[icowden]

If, there is a big enough movement of withholding payment.
It could turn into a poll tax movement -remember that one?

Yes. People did not get let off their debts though.

Yes. People did not get let off their debts though.

Yes they did, the debts were scrapped in the end

£425 million of debts was written off after years

 

[CXRAndy]

Well yes:-

• £100bn / year Brexit
• £25bn Test and Trace
• £0.5bn Nightingale Hospitals
• £66bn HS2
• £8bn - Unusable PPE
• £3bn - Covid furlough fraud
• Boris's No 10 redecoration

Plus billions of small costs which never see the light of day unless, someone has been there to see it.

We had an accountant from years ago worked in a sector of tax avoidance . His favourite example was £100k of new chairs for the royal navy headquarters, that never got used, stored for years. So not only waste, buying them, paying for storage.

News is littered with small articles of waste for mothballed projects, failed projects.


Here's one, why the hell are the UK tax payers forking out for this

UK funded diversity scheme in Mauritius during Chagos negotiations​

Why are we paying for this when we are supposedly paying to give away territory

I guess escaping the Scottish farkwits is a good reason to become an expat - fair enough!

5.5 million of us (not all here in HK of course) but we're not all f*ckwits.

No more than anywhere else.

Let's see.

1. The headline is wrong. It's an aid package not a diversity scheme.
2. The UK removed the Chagossians from Chagos, thus remain responsible for them. That's how stuff works.

Lee Anderson captures the stupidity

To be fair, he does seem to display a lifelong commitment to capturing stupidity. Including that of all his thunderously stupid fans to whom he wouldn't deign to donate the steam from his diarrhoea.

30p Lee can't tell the difference between:-

• If someone wants to identify as a Llama, we shouldn't take the piss out of them
• Everyone should be able to identify as a Llama

 

[icowden]

And the point of this is "oh look we can make a woman look funny using AI"? presumably.

Yes we should take p!ss or have them get psychiatric help.

Either way, they should not be in any roll of governance with a skewed sense of reality
