      Not true really, dig around a bit & you'll find some of that money does find it's way back to those that are doing the wasting. It's a way of laundering, cash for favours & all that sort of thing. Look at the share holders lists & owners etc. of where that money is wasted !

I don't oke, drink or run a car, but l like good food and a holiday.last year this goverment suspended the triple lock as it would be too expensive ,ihad to dip into my savings to just survive with prices rising,with the result l have hardly any left. All because of this goverment. They need to be held accountable for their actions. They don't give a toss as they are all multi millionaires no problem to the

    with you on many points but terribly flawed analysis on privatisation. both Spain and the UK have a national Health Service which is really important and you can stlll go private. Spain also has a transport system which is bizarrely effective and affordable and the UK has nothing comparable. The privatisation of the railways has led to insane prices for train travel. Now if those companies were properly regulated to avoid monopolies and maintain healthy competition then maybe, however I can't stress just how important having a taxpayer health service is, nor how obvious it is when you just look at America where people can't afford insulin in the world's number one economy, it's patently disgusting.
