@tarik121 Like who? Ukip or Reform who both want a private healthcare system and a 20k tax threshold and peanut N.I. contributions ?

@J1465 I've said the same thing numerous times, especially to my builder mates who consider themselves anti socialist and true patriots. One of them who claimed for everything he could thru covid has at least 3 holidays a year to the Caribbean and dubai to "lose" his cash in hand earnings despite his heavily RW stance. I told him that I'm confused that as he prefers white people so much why does he go on holiday to black and arabic countries? Still waiting for a coherent answer.

@racheldoyle1322 Ignore Benny lad Rachel as he's one of those people that begrudges anyone getting anything be it in benefits or wages. All his comments are negative.

@tonygange7636 Sorry Tony. I can't quite understand your last post. Either way it's clear that any form of immigrant doesn't compute in your world which as I previously mentioned you will be needing them at some point in your life just like I did with an Egyptian and Italian surgeon with half the globe backing them up in the Op theatre. They were marvellous. The immigrants that are actually damaging the country are The Windsors, Johnson's, Patel, Raab, Sunak, Javid, Cleverley's etc. Seeing as you aren't happy with the way things are going have you thought about moving to The Falklands with the other 3000 (expats) ? Think the flight goes from Brize Norton every Wednesday.

@tonygange7636 Take the 3.8 million that came over from the EU. Paying 4 times in taxes to the UK than what they took out so not strictly all doom n gloom Tony.

@_leyrd_. You only had to look at how Bojo ran London as mayor and then his aspirations for the big job to realise it was never going to work. I look at the locals and see how they vote in parliament. Most tories vote against any form of giving people help in favour of sorting out the companies and their bosses/mates

@tonygange7636 You could ask Boris Johnson seeing as he's a descendant of one.

@alandraper7901 Odd answer considering the Tories are the ones in power and have been for 12 years. Have you ever tried to claim any benefits? You've more chance in winning the euros. It was a lot easier for people to claim furlough and go out doing cash in hand building work. I know quite a few people that did it.

@DS-od1kb Same went for his £50 march ( to the pub ) His supporters really are thick.

@alandraper7901 I know quite a few. Mainly builders doing cash in hand work whilst complaining about foreigners taking jobs, housing etc etc. Not very patriotic imo.

@anthonymcguire3618 I didn't say the EU did. It's our government that makes the rules as they always did. Of course it was your choice to work those hours but i don't see why anyone should. A lot of mortgage free pensioners voted for brexit as they've had the benefits over the years but no longer need them. The trouble is that others do and lots of people i know have lost their jobs because of Brexit. It's also funny that you see numerous people with foreign surnames who are in favour of it. Probably the majority have another passport that allows them the benefits of the EU unlike born and bred brits nowadays. All in all double standards.

@anthonymcguire3618 Not sure why you would vote for a party because of one man leaving Labour but with your record of employment you are the perfect tory worker. I'm surprised they didn't send you a cap to doff on your way to do your 12 hour shifts! Either way if they get back in again then the first thing they will do is remove any tax free lump sum from anyone's pension ( private ) & move the state pension age to 72 in small increases. Increase N.I. again to cover their "just in time for the election to fool the idiots" tax reduction. We are already working the longest hours in europe for the longest age and the lowest pensions. Maybe staying in would have been better after all.

@unclebuck134 You do realise the Royal family are foreigners don't you UB?

Jay Bee You would need a visa now Jay. Moving abroad now is a minefield. Before you could just go - no queuing, free healthcare, no messing about. Thanks to brexit it's also going to bring a lot of people that live abroad back to the UK for healthcare reasons putting a further burden on the taxpayer and NHS which is buckling already. Do you feel more sovereign? I don't especially as my Irish and foreign mates with dual nationality have more freedom than me in my own country.
