Just Saying...

In 1980 the UK national debt was £95.6bn.
It would take 30 years for it to reach £1.03tn when Labour left office in 2010.
12 years of the tories have seen the debt more than double to £2.22tn. The tories have spent MORE in 12 years than what took 30 years to spend.

1980
£9,560,000,000

2010
£1,030,000,000,000

2022
£2,223,000,000,000

The Tories have SPENT £1,193,000,000,000 in 12 years. This was during a 10 period of austerity with huge cuts to government spending, wage stagnation, cuts to the NHS and public services and more.

The UK has a population of around 65m. As well as stagnant wages, high inflation, higher taxes, higher fuel bills etc, the tories have cost every man, woman and child in the UK an additional £18,353 in borrowing.

Given all the cuts we've seen for 12 years, all the money NOT being spent on public service etc, WHERE HAS ALL THIS MONEY GONE?

Tory tax cuts and tax havens for their mates. Public money given to VIP fast lanes for their chums to rip us off. This is theft of public money on a massive scale and someone needs to carry the can for it. No one will be prosecuted but the average worker will have to pay for it.

The Conservatives aren't cheap and we have to fund them. They will take ALL the taxpayer's hard-earned money and store it in their offshore accounts while telling us ts our fault. They tell us that we will just have to pay more if we want a decent standard of living. They tell us not to be greedy and ask for better wages while they plunder the family silver.

The best con of all is that they claim they've set the minimum wage at its highest level. THE GOVERNMENT DON'T PAY OUR WAGES, THEY STEAL THEM. It doesn't matter what the government set the minimum wage at, it is employers that pay it.

They should be going after the tax dodgers, and the offshore tax havens and make sure that if you earn money in the UK then you pay tax in the UK. Anyone trying to avoid their duty should be jailed.

These companies might be bringing investment to the country but they take the profits OUT of the country. Profits that should be taxed to help fund the roads and rail networks and public services that allow people to actually get to their workplace. Infrastructure that allows them to trade in the first place. Infrastructure that the workers pay tax to fund.

Finally, it should be possible for a family to live on 1 wage. There were 6 of us in my household growing up, Mum Dad, myself and 3 older brothers. Only my dad worked, no benefits, no rent help, that's when wages were worth something. When you live in a country where you have to work 50+ hours per week or have 2 people working just to survive then something is well and truly broken.

If anyone that works 40 per week has to claim benefits to survive then the employers should be fined. NO ONE IN FULL-TIME WORK SHOULD HAVE TO CLAIM A PENNY FROM THE STATE. Force employers to pay real living wages and stop subsidising them by topping up wages with tax breaks and benefits.
