I think it's great that we have an ex-banker as PM, if there's one community that isn't given enough power in our society it's bankers!

@Kyle_P2022 I'm well aware of how central banks work using Fractional Reserve Banking, FIAT currency. I also know we have over $300 trillion in global debt, around 4 times the global GDP. Showing how farcical the system is to anyone with a decent understanding...

@hmq9052 You know exactly what I'm talking about. Do you think people working 12-hour shifts every day for min wage don't know what hard work is? Taxpayers perform the dual roles in society of producer/consumer, worker/taxpayer, and service provider/service user. They also pay for the £40-120 billion tax gap and the £100 billion per annum on corporate welfare and subsidies...

@hmq9052 They handle trillions on behalf of the country. They should be glad to pay that as a bribe to get their hands on the pot. Who bailed them out? who keeps paying for borrowing? we've had a debt-to-GDP ratio of over 100% in the past year. How does farming the British economy out to our overseas territories while providing profits for shareholders' offshore accounts help us? Britain is the largest global cause of corporate tax losses!

@hmq9052 Without money? Money is simply a human construct used to allow a tiny minority to control the vast majority of the world's actual resources. I'd propose a resource-based economy so goods and services are valued consistently by labour intensity, availability, transport costs etc. Most of the world is in debt to a minority of people and the debt keeps growing, the larger the excess debt the more available human construct (money) to swap for 'actual' resources. Meaning that a tiny minority can keep buying up more of the world's actual resources - land, water, power...

@Kyle_P2022 Firstly those two comments aren't connected I never said he was a central bank employee although he had the ear of their governors at the G7. One was referring to Rishi and the other to the banking structure in response to a question.

@Kyle_P2022 The main statistic you seem unable to read is that 40% of British workers live in working poverty. Those 40% can't move up the ladder unless someone takes their place in those low waged jobs, hence it's a societal problem. I'm a 15-stone Welshman, I tolerate your insults only because I assume you lack the intellect to grasp simple facts. Again you fail to understand that your anecdotes and ad hom attacks on me don't speak to the problem, maybe you're just not clever enough to see the big picture and can't understand how statistics work...

@hmq9052 You think bankers pay tax? lol they use every scam in the book to pay as little as possible. Then get huge bonuses. We pay for the infrastructure they exploit for profit!

@Kyle_P2022 It's sad that selfish people like yourself are unable to see statistics and rely on personal anecdotes to make decisions. My comments are about society and working poverty which affects 40% of the British workforce. If you aren't intelligent enough to argue the facts and instead fire off ad homs at me out of ignorance then that's your fault...

@Kyle_P2022 I'm qualified in programming, 3d animation, electronics and recently qualified to lead audit a corporation for compliance with ISO9001. But as you still seem unable to grasp I'm using empathy to discuss a societal problem. This isn't about me! Banks lobby, corporations lobby and as a result anti-union laws are brought in, lower wages are allowed, workers' rights are diminished, taxpayers top up low wages with tax credits, the public sector pays for the gross profits of the private sector. The taxpayer pays for the tax gap left by corporate tax evasion/avoidance on top of paying over £100 billion in corporate welfare and subsidies every year. The poor are forced to pay for the losses left by corporations and bankers who hide profits and dodge taxes!

@maskedavenger2578 Thanks for your opinion, I'll add it to the comments from people who aren't clever enough to understand statistics and how they work...
1
@Kyle_P2022 Your comments are about as much use as a rubber beak to a woodpecker. I've given you stats from HMRC regarding the tax gap, ONS stats regarding employment and wages and talked a little about Fractional Reserve Banking using FIAT currency, global debts and how they relate to global GDP. You call me a conspiracy theorist as you aren't able to offer anything other than anecdotal personal testimony and ad homs regarding the topic... Someone with a little more self-awareness would realise he was already beaten soundly and save what little of their dignity remained...
1
@maskedavenger2578 Then you make descisions based on a tiny percentage of the information available and don't have the ability to check stats and find the most accurate? None of them lie they just show different sets of data with different criteria. You just have to use the raw data to understand which is accurate...
1
@maskedavenger2578 Unemployment alone costs around £1.56 billion per annum, we pay over £100 billion per annum to corporations in welfare and subsidies, you want to tell me who is getting the free stuff? those corporations also cost the taxpayer between £40-120 billion per annum in unpaid legally required taxes. So if you have any logic or reason you will complain about corporate welfare, not the pittance spent on people who work for agencies and have to put up with being laid off every few months...

@maskedavenger2578 I don't guess, I read figures and records. If you're not capable of understanding that legislation is to blame for 40% of working people being stuck in working poverty then there ain't much I can do for you. You're beyond reason and live in your head, you can't seem to understand how important facts are and try to turn a discussion about low-paid jobs into a personal debate about your pathetic life experiences. Waste of oxygen!
1
@maskedavenger2578 Sorry you seem unable to comprehend virtually anything. I'm talking about corporations lowering wages and rights of British people causing poverty. This isn't about me personally, I'm sorry you just have the capacity to discuss society as a whole instead of your insignificant options...
1
@maskedavenger2578 I'm sorry but you are beyond the ability to have a reasoned debate. I'm, not wasting any more time when you clearly have never seen a statistic in your life and are 99% guesswork... try reading!
1
@maskedavenger2578 Stats can be manipulated but raw figures are facts! You just have to learn how to understand data, I'd suggest starting small maybe learning your times tables. It seems like a trip to a mental health expert may not be a bad move for you. Anways. I've had a wonderful, enlightening, intelligent debate, but this wasn't it!

@maskedavenger2578 If I count 6 boxes of apples with 12 apples in each box I know I have 72 apples. Your opinion won't change that fact! you could say I have more than 50 apples and it would be accurate. You could say I have less than 100 apples and it would be accurate. You can't change the fact that there are 72 apples! Facts= Reality.
1
@maskedavenger2578 Duh! receipts, order forms, digital records, tax records. But you kinda missed the point. I am fully aware of how many apples there are because I counted them, so that's a (fact). You can say that fact in many ways (stats). But the fact always remains. We orbit the sun (fact). A Moon orbits us (fact). Some things are quantifiable and therefore are governed by simple rules. Philosophy, religion, and politics are all debatable but some things are scientifically proven, mathematically proven, proven through repetition etc

@maskedavenger2578 lol ok buddy, have fun not getting simple things :)
1
@maskedavenger2578 lol, I'd have more luck trying to talk a trifle into sentience!
1
@maskedavenger2578 If idiots could fly your house would be an airport. Take your lack of facts to someone as simple as yourself...
1
@maskedavenger2578 It certainly wasn't through your eloquence or lexicon... What game was it? hide and seek?
1
@maskedavenger2578 lol you still haven't managed to understand that I'm not talking about myself and that your own delusions are the reason you can't see the big picture. There is a balance between labour and payment. 40% of British workers live in poverty!
1
@maskedavenger2578 I see it every day. I grew up on a council estate and live in an old mining town. The stats prove wages are down, stats prove prices have gone up, stats prove 40% of working people can't afford the basics on the wages they get. Not interested in wasting any more time with your delusions, I use my own eyes and stats to see the full picture. You just see what you want...
1
@maskedavenger2578 You haven't a clue, provide evidence to support your ridiculous stories! No evidence = pointless debate... PS I grew up in the 70s, one wage could run a household and a mortgage, buy all the household food and afford holidays. The NHS was fully funded, no waiting lists, housing was available for all, free university and a decent pension to look forward to...
1
@maskedavenger2578 lol you're like a walking copy of the sun or daily fail... Impossible to argue against nonsense m8, so I'll leave you to argue with yourself...
