    I have 4 figures stolen from me every month to pay people who can't be arsed.

    There's nothing in your statement that makes me like her less.

    Fair point. But I'd argue that the costs of extreme income inequality (and not delivering on the so-called levelling up promises) will be worse for you (and me) when she helps Tories sell off the rest of NHS (which is why she was appointed, I think), and when she continues to help reduce support for important socio-cultural institutions, and that taxes at the 4 figure level won't be significantly cut, if they're cut all. The taxt cuts will be for those paying 5 through 8 figures in taxes, while also using tax havens.

    I agree, but the leveling up thing is nonsense. The towns who make nothing useful are now so far behind they are essentially getting bailed out by the productive parts of the uk.

    They always moan about the south east but it's literally where everything is built.

    I remember seeing a town saying they need leveling up because ballet dancers couldn't get jobs, and I'm like well so what??

    There's 4 tiers of jobs.

    Tier 1 is all the important stuff like food/building/clothing/medical supplies and machinery they need.

    Tier 2 is things to make our lives easier, but not essential, like electricity, gas, supermarkets, washine machines, cars etc.

    Tier 3 is completely redundant shit like youtubers, bloggers, television, movies, music, dance.

    Tier 4 is god damn bankers, loan companies, insurance, lawyers, politicians. The REAL useless cunts that need all 3 tiers underneath fully functional to survive.

    A country that is tier 1 heavy (for example 50% tier1, 40% tier2, 5% tier3, 5% tier4) is something like what you want.

    What we have is some tier 4 top heavy bullshit, and it just needs a quick leg sweep to destroy it all.

    The problem is that she consistently votes for the reduction of social services, programs, welfare, healthcare - and literally anything that supports the 99%.

    Yeah, those things have really worked wonders for black Americans, let me tell you...

    So she doesn't want to waste money on a nanny-state? Good.

    It might surprise you to learn 99% of people aren't on speaking terms with social services or on welfare.

    However one in five people in Scotland are registered disabled to claim benefits, I'm sure that's legit.

    Probably all 'generalised anxiety'. Another bullshit self diagnosis to avoid doing difficult tasks in the workplace.

    It would surprise me. And yes, Scotland appears to be rather generous. I'd argue that the rise in benefits claims in the UK, noted here relates to increasing income inequality, Brexit and COVID. That said, 52% in the UK receive benefits?! I'd agree with any Tory who wants to reduce that number, though particularly while offering alternatives like job placement programs, free college tuition, and anything that puts some of those people back into the workforce.

    Fuck those socialist policies. Social services is a waste of time, welfare gets spent of the lazy who just sit and smoke weed, and our healthcare pays for half of Africa everytime they turn up without a passport. I've met Europeans who claim child support benefits for kids who've never set foot in the country. Others have flown here to give birth for 250k free healthcare and nobody says no. We give away billions to people on welfare for doing fuck all but exist without legal documents while they rape your sister. If this offends you, quit smoking weed, get a job and be useful to society. Millionaires are cunts, but don't pretend the 99% are any better.

    Never forget what the socialist policies paid for during the pandemic: https://youtu.be/5JaIMfHIRZc
