Popular Post Stevo985 Posted March 31, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2022 They carry on their tactic of deliberately leaking every bit of slightly controversial news and gauging public reaction before actually making a decision 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 This is the reality for a lot of people in Tory Britain. Heartbreaking. I don't know if it would make a difference as I guess most Tory voters know what they are voting for but they should be made to listen to this just before they place their X.

That woman caller is already on her knees with nothing left at the end of the week before the April energy cost increases never mind what is coming further down the line. 1 meal a day this woman can afford to feed her children and she feeds on the scraps in 2022 in one of the richest countries in the world and she is working. I am lost for words yet those in power are doing next to nothing to help her and millions of others like her.

Genie Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Quote As part of the 2016 Brexit referendum leave campaign, Boris Johnson alongside Michael Gove and former Labour MP Gisela Stuart insisted leaving the EU would allow Britain to cut the VAT tax. They said: “In 1993, VAT on household energy bills was imposed. This makes gas and electricity much more expensive. EU rules mean we cannot take VAT off those bills.” “The least wealthy are hit particularly hard. The poorest households spend three times more of their income on household energy bills than the richest households spend,” they added. “As long as we are in the EU, we are not allowed to cut this tax. “When we Vote Leave, we will be able to scrap this unfair and damaging tax. It isn’t right that unelected bureaucrats in Brussels impose taxes on the poorest and elected British politicians can do nothing.” Link And here we are, free from the shackles of the EU in the middle of a cost of living crisis and this is what he says when confronted about his previous pledge in January this year Quote But despite this claim, the Prime Minister has failed to act on his promise and was left scrambling for an answer when confronted with his own promise. When asked whether he had misled voters about scrapping the tax he said "not at all" but then went on to say that doing so would be a "blunt instrument". Link **** crook should be behind bars. He’s a compulsive liar who has rivers of blood on his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 The Tories have just done what they always do to varying degrees but perhaps this time as bad as they have ever done. They have broken anything that was good and pushed millions of people into utter despair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Since it was recently discussed on the site, it may be of note that Infosys are planning to 'urgently' close their Moscow office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meregreen Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 The common refrain during the 1980s was that Thatcher would take us back to the 30s. These bastards are taking us back to the **** 1830s. So angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
