    I am in my fifties. speaking to a lot of people of a similar age, there seems little point in contributing to a future society that doesn't care about the white English. Our past is being actively condemned by the institutions we have paid all these years to keep, eroded by the cancellation of books and people, and even just altered on television and film. Our present is the fear of losing your job to make way for diversity hiring's, or something you said ten years ago which is now considered offensive. As for the future, we all know the environment is important, such as keeping our rivers clean; but this constant message of the only way the planet can be saved in the future is by burdening people with more taxes just feels like a con. why should I help my community when my local councillors are just helping themselves.

    Incompetent councils lose money and spend it on the wrong things. The council where I live "lent" millions of ££ to a neighbouring council because it was going bankrupt, and our council nearly went bankrupt too!
    Some officers of the Council 'earn' over £100,000 per year and that's where we need to start cutting back. What do they do for that money? Local councils are becoming like the EU with unregulated and ill-equipped people who don't know what they're doing.

      In June, the council revealed it had paid almost £1.1bn in equal pay claims in the last 10 years after it lost a case at the Supreme Court in which female employees said they were not paid bonuses that were awarded to men on the same pay grade.
      The council has a current liability relating to the claims between £650m to £760m, accruing at a rate of £5m to £14m per month. The council also said that “Birmingham had £1bn of funding taken away by successive Conservative governments.”

The 'neediest' boroughs have the most social housing and the JAMS who live there who arent in social housing foot the bill. Were all the councils in the UK doing brilliantly then 13 years ago?

      @johnkitching2248 spoken like a TRUE LABOUR VIRTUE SIGNALLER. While grants from central government were cut, rates of council tax, set by individual councils, were allowed to increased. The councils rake it in, they are just very bad at managing it. 1998-2007 Labour were last in power and that decade closed with the NHS in financial crisis, in spite of the greatest increase in expenditure the NHS had ever seen. In this last 13 years the increase of our population has nearly doubled compared to what it was in the last Labour government. Labour had it easy and then set the pace for 13+ years of playing catch up. Now naive virtue signallers like yourself want to take us back there, spend everything we have just so we can pat each other on the back and say how virtuous we are 🤦‍♂️

      Oh, it definitely does.
      But not to worry.
      Westminster has an awesome plan to save some money…..By cutting disabled people and people with long term health conditions off of benefits……The interlopers aren’t effected by it, as they will still be getting everything for free and they’re still getting their welfare cheques.
      So people who have paid into the tax system for decades before becoming too ill to work are getting a big fuk you from the Tories and the most vulnerable in society are going to be driven further into poverty….When they are cut off their benefits, they’re probably gonna end up homeless at some point…..That’s good news to the Tories though, as that’s more free accommodation for the invaders.

    Keep on paying Tax Payers as the UK Political Class is on Mission to extract every last penny
    you have.
    With Local Councils paying their CEO's 400k per year with Gold plated Pensions and Executive Directors
    200k plus per year for being nothing more than Yes men then your starting to get the picture.
    And then you have those Council Directors taking early retirement, a 500k handshake, and then 18 months
    later are back as Consultants on 3k per week for doing absolutely nothing.
    54% of collected Council Tax goes on Council salaries, Pensions, Police, Fire Brigade, and some scraps
    for Elderly Care, before a single penny is spent on emptying a bin.
    More and More so called Council Services will disappear as they must keep paying the
    ludicrous Salaries and pension for all the 3rd rate Management employees who have arse licked their
    way into their Positions.
    The UK is deliberately being driven into the Ground as part of the Great Reset due to the fact
    that 649 MP's are nothing more than paid for Clown Puppets all doing what they are told.

Why are the other royal members sitting down and discussing having him removed from office and a hung parliament? Why aren't the Labour party all over this and hiring competent and trusted lawyers and legal advisors to apply for Sunak and his party to stand trial in court? Yeah Tory members would have to testify, tell the truth. If they cared about this country even just a tiny bit they'd all do the right thing and abolish this madness and defend Britain. The reason they're not is because they're cowards.

    It’s no rockets science but people have no respect for anything these days people can save the councils millions by taking there rubbish home rather than throwing it out of the car window people need to take responsibly for some stuff and that’s the easiest one to do .
    Go to a proper rural back water it’s tidy no rubbish go to a town or city. It’s a dump. The only difference is the mentality of the individuals living there
