Travelling fans Warning

Quoted from arryarryarry

You don't get it do you. At no point were the British electorate asked if they wanted to accept millions of Eastern European migrants that flooded many northern Towns putting pressure on housing, schools and doctors surgeries etc.

That lying illegitimate Blair said just a few thousand would come in in the first year when tens of thousands landed.

The British people had their say in EU elections when Ukip drunk the main parties, and finally had their say in the EU referendum.

You do realise that 'Eastern European migrants' are net contributors to the economy (i.e. they pay more tax in the UK and create more economic benefit than they cost in government spending on things like housing, schools and healthcare), don't you? Because surely you wouldn't want to be relying on an utterly nonsensical argument which seems entirely based on xenophobia as opposed to reality, right?

As aldi_01 has rightly pointed out above, the cause of that pressure on public services is unnecessary government austerity, not a load of mostly working age migrants, primarily doing jobs British workers don't have the skills or simply can't be arsed to do. We've got a massive load of baby boomers who in the next couple of decades are going to put an enormous strain upon this country's health and social care systems. Who, if not migrants, will wipe all their arses when their lead fumed brains have turned to mush?

And all those boomers are the only ones with loads of money, and who, in a large proportion, voted brexit and support the Conservatives.
When those boomers were growing up, houses were plentiful and affordable, jobs were secure and well paid, pensions were much better than they are today, and the cost of living was eminently manageable. When there were spikes, governments acted to ease burdens. In 1974, when there was a global oil price crisis, Labour Chancellor Dennis Healy cut VAT, increased benefits and pensions payments, subsidised essential foods, and increased taxes on incomes over £4000 (equivalent today to £44,000). This appalling collection of corrupt, dispicable and incompetent tories prefer record levels of poverty.

This is the way to travel to King's Lynn https://pelicanyutong.co.uk/coaches/tce12-electric-coach/. Enough range - recharge during the match.

Would get some points for the BCorp assessment if 1878 had the team travelling in one of these.

I think it’s worth remembering, that when governments claim that an intervention or non intervention (like raising NI contributions) is ‘all they can afford’ that this is, in fact, a lie. These are political and ideological choices. There’s money. If we were so bankrupt, and couldn’t avoid raising various taxes on working Britain, then where did the money for Ukrainian aid and supply of weapons come from? Or furlough? Down the back of the sofa?

Make no mistake - this government are ok with millions of people struggling with the cost of living. It’s no impact on them. They’re all rich and detached, and able to make these political choices without conscience.

You're wasting your breath mate.

Despite being one of the richest nations in the world, people are happy to keep the status quo, be overworked and underpaid and just keep struggling with massive cost of living rises in the belief that the nation will somehow be alright in the future when the Brexit benefit kicks in and the Tories find it in their heart to reward us with a fair share of the wealth.

12 years of cuts, austerity and a massive shift in wealth disparity has taught them nothing.

We can only hope and pray people have good memories next time they are in the voting booth.
