A budget for working people - NOT

‘No-one earning a living wage will pay tax on their earnings’ George Osborne, July 2015

New Tax Allowance - £11,000 / 12 = £916 pm. (£211 pw) = tax free earnings.

But yet implement the new living wage of £7.20 ph x 37.5 hrs = £270 pw (£54 to be taxed).

And then when it increases to £9.00 ph x 37.5 = £337.50 pw (which leaves £126.50 taxable).

Sorry George but you need to go back and look at your figures.

Oh, and Road Tax now to directly fund road renewal???

What the hell happened to all the money paid in before then?

‘A budget for working people?’

Well, I’m self employed and thanks to your extremely ill-thought out tax credit cuts, I will be working for £5k less a year now.

‘We’re all in it together.’

Yeah, like fuck we are.

5 Reasons why people don’t like your updates on Facebook.

 

1)      They don’t like you. So, by not liking your updates, they get to make a subliminal but incredibly active demonstration of that. Go collective ostracisation, yay. 

2)      They haven’t got the same sense of humour.  (No point putting any clever comments there then).

3)      They’re offended by your comments but won’t admit it publicly or open any challenging dialogue and debate intelligently about it.

4)      They’re bubbling with jealousy.  Why don’t they get the gorgeous fantastic bloke, the amazing family, the opulent house, the executive car, the diamond ring, the celebrity friends, the exotic holidays abroad, the clothes and the shoes?? . . . Reality check. No fucker does.  It’s all a cleverly remastered, finely edited, photo-shopped mirage to make silly fuckers like you envious of that illusion. 

5)      They don’t know what to say to you. They can’t really ‘like’ the fact that you’re getting a divorce, your cat died or something equally as sad.  They can’t celebrate something you’ve done or said because some people just don’t know how to articulate their feelings to others. Others plainly just don’t want to.

They just simply want to nosey.
