most of you probably already know, i hate living in the UK
here's some more reasons why from todays papers
1. Britains most violent and dangerous criminals are getting paid to.....wait for it.... play scrabble, learn guitar, go to the gym, look after fish, play table tennis etc. they get given credits for every 30mins of activities they do and they can use these to buy fags, toiletries, snacks. now this doesnt sound bad, but also they can send the credits home to their families to cash in... ie turn into real money.
who pays for this? the Tax payer, ie me
2. Gordon Brown, our chancellor..... has spent £56million on hotels and wining and dining for him and his chronies. i know the mans got a job to do, but £56 million on hotels is ludicrous. where did he get the £££ from? tax payer
3. Asylum seekers are to get free clown lessons, thats right, the Tax payer is gonna foot the bill again so clowns can teach balkland asylum seekers how to be clowns! great!
along with the £123 BILLION, yes 123 Billion pounds, the government has wasted on meaningless quangos like the herbal remedy advice group, and the english potatoe advice group. its shocking
123 billion is nearly twice as much money needed to sort out our ailing National health service. people from the rest of the world think its great....but you try getting a needed operation done within a year. if you do, your lucky. id rather go private, it'll cost more but the service will be there.
i dont mind paying taxes, so long as the gov spends it on useful stuff and stuff i can be proud of like military equipment, reliable and modern trains, a NHS that works, road systems that arent forever covered in cones and contra-flows. but i do mind paying taxes because our gov is wasting it.
