The voice of reason

Nigel Farage said the UK is “skint” and steps must be taken to boost economic growth as Reform UK reiterated its pledge to increase the income tax threshold to Ł20,000.
Mr Farage said the national debt had ballooned under the Conservative Party’s watch, with tens of billions of pounds having to be spent on debt interest. Speaking at a press conference in central London, the Reform leader said: “We need to face up to one or two realities. We are skint. And it is getting worse. And at some point in time we may even have trouble issuing gilts, issuing government bonds unless the market sees that we have got some solutions. “And that is why the only way out is growth and I think what Richard [Tice] has just set out, in particular putting up the tax threshold to Ł20,000 would be a very, very big step in the right direction.” The threshold at which people currently start to pay income tax is Ł12,570 but Reform want to lift it to Ł20,000. Mr Tice said the move would leave the average person about Ł1,500 better off a year. It would also take seven million people out of paying income tax altogether, he said. |

“I work in banking and capital markets and hearing Nigel Farage and Richard Tice talking about financials competently is a breath of fresh air. Both know the commercial realities of running the country.” Allan Edmunds “Raising the VAT threshold to 150K and the personal allowance to 20K is a very shrewd move, which alone will raise the GDP of the country – and thereby reduce the debt to GDP ratio. It will also increase economic output and productivity. At last, some proper leadership.” Andrew Hicks “Thank goodness that one party is talking about saving our hard-earned monies. All the others seem to think that they have a God-given right to throw it around like confetti. How about stopping to pay such ridiculous benefits and get everyone back to work?” |

That was the policy & plan until they invaded Poland (whom Britain had a defensive treaty with), we just like to pretend it was all much more noble than that as a nice bit of historical revisionism. British Aristocracy was totally prepped to cosy up with a largely Nazi-led Continental Europe.
More-or-less the same with the US 'cept it was Japan's aggressive tactics in East Asia that triggered them to start getting involved. |

Crazed man throws gigantic ROCK at Nigel Farage, narrowly missing his head.
The man then attempted to throw more rocks at the Politican, who leads the Reform Party, before being chased away and arrested. |

On slate.com a nasty leftist thinks its ok to show violence to politicians if she does not like them
Today Nigel Farage nearly lost an eye stochastic terrorism - the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted: The lone-wolf attack was apparently influenced by the rhetoric of stochastic terrorism. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...ection-uk.html Last edited by Crimson Dynamo; 11-06-2024 at 04:35 PM. |

Incentives for landlords to sell to in-place tennants isn't a terrible idea for a change you know. We offered to buy our rental property from landlord 2 years ago but he said nah. Greedy bastard. Not interested now, income has gone up so we're looking at bigger/nicer places for buying. He can keep it

Not to puff my own trumpet Parmy but me and my wife are highly intelligent middle-class white people who have been under Tory rule from our early 20's to late 30's. Of course we've done just fine under the Tories
