The ifs and buts are more on yourside than mine, there is a big difference to being on foreign soil where you have the logistics of getting food and arms to your army overseas compared to being at home.
Tax is a way or at least can be a way to redistribute wealth and a way to control inflation by taking money out of the economy, it doesn't matter if we have higher or lower tax receipts as we have a central bank, tax does not pay for Government spending as we can just print money for that if we want too but that is not understood by most people including people in Government that should know.
According to all knowing AI , Britain would likely not have been conquered during ww2 even if the USA had stayed out of the war. Navy would have sunk German transport ships, Airforce would have and did match their Airforce and the Army would have stopped them getting off the beaches if they had even got that far, they knew the odds were not in their favour although they clearly thought about it, once they failed to win the battle of Britain in the air they gave up on the idea of attempting a land invasion of Blighty.
At the start of ww2 the Yanks had something like only the 20th largest army in the World, badly trained, badly equipped we had to help them as they had little technology, we had developed the jet engine, we had radar, the Yanks could not fly at night, so the RAF had to do it and blow Germany to bits the Yanks didn't have the capability and then we fought the Japs in Burma that took the pressure of the Yanks out in the Far East, we did as much for them as they did for us even more possibly but we don't get the recognition, I blame Hollywood films for that.
If the Yanks had continued to stay out of ww2 we wouldn't have lost to the Germans as they would not have been able to invade us, the Germans would have ruled Western Europe but not Blighty, so we would never have ended up speaking German.
He's Aberdare/ Turkey mun anyone who's a bona fide Resolvenite would know about Rheola house, the Vale of Neath is one of the greatest places in all of Christiandom, that why the German Kaiser used to holiday up there and Turner used to paint his landscapes up there, even St Patrick was from up that way before the Paddies kidnapped him.
We fought without you Yanks for years, the Krauts could not get across the channel our Navy was still relatively strong at the time and RAF stopped them getting air power, then the Russians who was facing the majority of the German forces turned the tide sending the Germans back to their homeland.
If anything we saved you from occupation as there is a strong school of thought that we knew Pearl Harbour was happening as we ruled something like a quarter of the World's land surface and had spies, eyes and ears everywhere and figured it would bring you into the war as you weren't up for it, of course the real conspiracy was that Churchill told your President who was trying to persuade you lot to enter the war for your own good kept quiet but made sure half the 'Pacific Fleet' was at sea ready to fight another day.
You have now been taken over by a foreign power anyway in the shape of Isreal you do what they tell you to do, I expect you to be speaking Hebrew in a short space of time.
24k x 32 years is over 3/4 of a million pounds for just one person.
The whole system should be scrapped, OAP should be the same as minimum wage and paid for by taxing rich peoples wealth and rich corporations, public sector pensions should be brought into line with ordinary peoples private pensions.
The worry is we are too reliant on the Yanks for our nuclear deterant, hardware, software, maintenance, could they even have a kill switch on our nukes that we don't know about ?, we need our own bona fide totally independent capability and sorry to say we need our nukes pointing at major American cities as they can't be trusted by us (and shouldn't be trusted by us).
I remember in the cold War and apparently it came from a top Yank general that the Warsaw pact would reach the channel ports in days if they invaded from East Germany etc and at that point the Yanks would nuclear bomb Britain to stop the Russians using Britain as an airbase/lanchpad for missiles to attack America, at the time their missiles could not reach mainland America (or all parts) from the Eastern block but could from Britain (something like that anyway).
Are the Yanks really friends of ours, they were a combined half a decade late entering both World wars, I'm all for our weapons pointing at the United States (particularly at this point in time they are even making veiled threats towards Canada as well as other so called allies) as well as other countries that might be a problem for us.
Pulling up the ladder behind them was the phrase used in the video before that phrase was used in the video I used the phrase "in a lot of cases once they get in they are happy to pull up the drawbridge".
There seems to be loads of people of foreign descent in these right wing parties like Reform, Advance (if they are still about), Tommy Robinson crowd etc, seen it somewhere that Trump has got some Hispanic type supporters, the irony is not lost on me.
£1.4 TRILLION. That's approximately the value of Britain's current unfunded public sector pension liabilities.
Imo It's unaffordable and unfair the amount of money taxpayers pay towards teachers, doctors, police, armed forces, politicians, civil servants etc pensions. All this talk about cutting old age pensioners state pension, cutting welfare benefits for the sick and unemployed when public servants pensions are extremely generous that they seem to be unsustainable and are funded largely by ordinary taxpayers, cuts need to be made to these pensions or they should be scrapped and everyone put on DC pensions, yet conveniently nobody is talking about public sector pensions .
