When I ran a small business I made a mistake in my employer contributions tax (I underpaid a relatively very small amount of £2300 by mistake), and the first I knew about it was when a tax inspector visited my home (no letter or phone call beforehand). They were very aggressive and when I told them 'it wasn’t intentional and I’d investigate the matter and sort it out’ their response was to threaten me! With legal action and bailiffs if I did not pay up in 7 days. It was a terrible experience so when I see stuff like this it makes my blood boil!

Would Labour be any better? I’m starting to think they’re all as bad as each other.

[@obscurazone]

​@@MD-ud2leI have to give you the benefit of doubt and trust you're not a bot or foreign entity or low rent Tory "activist" here to merely seed little doubts in the minds of voters...but in answer to your question "Would labour be any better" - YES. It's as simple an answer as that. We have historical data that very clearly shows the track records of both two major parties. During Tory rule, public spending goes down massively and waste of public money goes through the roof - as does cases of governmental corruption. The precise opposite is true of Labour governments. This is not opinion or open for debate, those are the facts. It is very easily the demonstrable truth, that the nation is "better" when being run by a Labour government, and entirely worse being run by a Tory government. Simple as that.

[@Heresy1987]

Starmer is the establishments man. Labour under him and probably anyone else would tow the establishments line. It simply cannot be allowed and tolerated by the ruling class to have a viable existing alternative to their power. So, Labour is there to placate all that. Are Labour the lesser of the two evils, probably. But that's not anything close to what decent working class people desire in the capitalist hellhole of a landscape. Here's how i see it....Tories are that right wing and corrupt, people get eventually sick of them (given that they've ostensibly been in power for 44 years,including the new Labour project under Thatcherite adoring Blair), then vote in a Labour government under Starmer. Starmer then is obviously a dud and cant do anything, certainly not in the 44 year timeframe and then people will then switch back to the Tories. Better the devil you know in some peoples minds, which is a terrible mindset to have. We only have to look at the extreme lies told to the British people about Corbyn to know that anyone approaching even suggesting a fairer system for ordinary decent people will have their reputations (whether personal or political) absolutely obliterated. I acknowledge and respect the work that Carol is doing these days. I fear though given previous examples of people putting their heads up over the trench, that the right wing establishment won't allow such criticisms to continue unabated. Hence we'll see a slanderous onslaught against Carol by the right wing press etc.

[@Heresy1987]

@@fullmontyuk i agree with what you're saying. Ive no interest in being a Labour cheerleader. They dont act in the interests of the working class. I have a healthy hatred and distaste for the cult of personality syndrome that infects the population, so i could never get on board with Corbyn (i could never fathom how he was viewed as some sort of saviour), despite thinking that some of his personal views are obviously admirable.

I personally told director that money should be used to help towards tax payers. I took my sandwiches as a protest.

[@Non-dual-mind1]

I worked for both county and city councils. The councilor responsible for parking was on the make. The guy who did cash collections and machine maintenance "always" had one mechanism which was bent and spat the coins into the case instead of the sealed boxes. This was collected by the officers and split between the councilor and the guys in the cash office. They'd move the mechanism around the busiest car park to avoid it always being the same machine being reported as a defect. You won't find a single honest councilor or MP.

There was a guy the BBC in London interviewed around about the time of the first lockdown when BoJo was talking about face masks and PPE in hospitals etc as a priority . The guy had a company whose job was the manufacturing of PPE for the HHS and the like . He did this job as a living even before Covid ,so he knew his business through experience of this kind of thing . He tendered for a contract to make the PPE clothing as he wanted to help the people and the country through the pandemic . He was refused the contract with a ...' maybe next time ' excuse from the Government ! Why did the Government award contracts worth hundreds of millions of pounds to the likes of Mone and family who knew nothing about manufacturing PPE ,yet refused a contract to a company who did that kind of work on a daily business basis ?

​@mogznwaz unfortunately, when presenters/journalists play devil's advocate, they are accused of not knowing what they believe in. When they pick a side, they're called biased. I, personally, agree with you that presenters should be able to play devil's advocate - in certain circumstances. There is no justifying what Baroness Mone and the Tory Party have done over the last few years. The amount they have all profited is disgusting, whilst the rest of the country freeze, starve, and get evicted. There is nothing to play devil's advocate about, the things the Tory Party have done are WRONG, IMMORAL, and on occasion, ILLEGAL. Strikes, immigration, public service wages, public spending etc etc etc, are all subjects that could do with a little devil's advocate. There's something to be said for both points of view. I've seen this happen when MPs are interviewed - the presenter will question Tories from a Labour standpoint and vice versa, and all the comments say they are biased one way or the other. They can't win either way, especially when people only watch the clips rather than the whole show

The National Crime Agency are currently investigating them for fraud and bribery so we'll hear later this year if NCA has discovered any. I think that's why the two of them did a complete turnaround and admitted their involvement after 3 years of denying it. They wanted to drag the Tory government into this mess in the hope it'll deflect from their own crimes.

A friend if mine told me that his 86 year old aunt waited 18 HOURS for one to arrive on the 23rd if December I live in a real developing country where there isn't even one properly funded ambulance service and less than 100 for a whole country let alone a national one so for that to happen in the world's 6th biggest economy in a Conservative run borough is mind boggling.

I have watched the Tories gas light us the electorate for over 7 years. [no doubt it has been going on longer]They announce some positive policy or funding and then it gets kicked into the long grass, or funding is left in an account unspent then returned to the treasury. I am most concerned about the cost of private consultations, are these another way to pay their mates huge amounts of money without any positive outcomes to the UK and people? Another area of concern is the bidding system for funding, and how allocation is decided. Is this system just another way to funnel to their chosen areas cash, and keep councils in line? Once the Tories are out of government, the research into their years of spending needs to be investigated, recorded and regurgitated continuously so the public never forget the corruption and self serving of this party. Yes, they really have been having a party at the expense of the UK taxpayer.

I can imagine ppe could be involved. To say it wasnt available at all is a huge lie. Amazon and AliExpress had the gear on sale always. And im not saying your lying, but that you got lied to if they said it wasnt available. I also noticed storys about shortages of gear in china... Which was not fitting reality as they were the ones exporting the stuff by the millions. I was buying what they said wasnt available.
