True, that's the same for any of them.

£80k combined income between 2 people isn't that much.
Well it may seem a lot to someone with nothing, but consider this...
I never missed a day of school. I tried hard and worked really hard to get good results. I didn't go out smoking pot and drinking white lightning in the park on a Friday night when I was 14 (I waited until I was 16 :D )
I spent 3 years at university then a further 3 working and doing post graduate course, sometimes over 80 hrs a week.

Now take Mr Dole queue. He spent his school life mostly truant, never did his homework, never bothered working for his exams. He got bad results and now can't get a job. He spends his time impregnating the local slappers.
He thinks that I earn too much, he's jealous and wants a piece of what I have, so he votes for higher taxes so that the government can increase his benefits.

In what world is that ever fair? What ever happened to getting out of life what you put in?

I make an exception for the disabled or mentally ill as they have no choice. But someone that's just a feckless lazy tw@t....I have absolutely no sympathy for.
I'm with you mate, where do I sign?
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

Nigel Farage has a German wife – surely the ultimate proof that the British just get immigrants to do the jobs no one here can face doing.

Problem is the the implementation of these politicians bright ideas of social justice in implementing austerity after funding multiple wars and bankers follies.

I work with a head injury client unable to subsequently from his accident to now read, write or speak and a wonky body and his finances are being appraised and made 'more efficient'. He's about to be made homeless cos of the bright idea of implementing a 'bedroom tax'. His has been a Richard fall through society since his head injury after traumatic injury. Started of his mum (widow of teacher) paid for private care and she chose to sell of their home to pay for rehabilitation and speech therapy that was unavailable for him via NHS. Thus they ended up living in private rented accommodation paid by council benefit. She's elderly with my client now looking after her (and each other). She passes away and he's left living in 2-bedroom bungalow. Council will now only pay rent for 1 bedroom so if he's to remain in property he's got to make-up the shortfall. Unable to get get job to supplement his income due to severity of his disability so in approx 6 months time he'll be unable to pay his rent. Response from government is to cut/rationalise his Independent Living Funding payments so he's even worse off and accelerates his drop through the system. So in a couple of months, after his landord turfs him out, we'll be dropping him off at the town hall with his suitcases to see what happens.

Gotta love the Tories with their sympathy...

great example of tory efficiency :thumbup: heres another.....

my missus is a specialist wound care nurse(does dressings on people who wont heal after surgery or whose flesh is rotting away for one reason or another) at the largest hospital in Suffolk.

due to cuts she is off work Thursday to Tuesday as they wont pay specialist nurses to come in weekends/ bank holidays . she says this is a disgrace. she does however deserve a break from working in an understaffed hospital though.

for the same reason ( cuts in funding) there is also no specialist pain management nurse ( normally end of life care) or stoma care specialist nurse (look that one up / bmw riders).

the pain management collegue even volunteered to come and be paid at a lower rate on Saturday but was refused !

makes the hospital more "efficient" though

Politics and religion have no place on Motorbike forums, as we all know these two topics are the root cause of all major conflicts around the world.
Motorbike forums are a place of peace and calm where normal people go to get away from all the S*ht and chat bollox about bikes, birds and booze,, well thats what i want anyway... :beer:

But whilst we are on the subject.... If you don't vote.. don't start shouting about the state of our once Great Country.
If you want it to change get out and vote.

Me. I'm UKIP. and that's because I have seen all the crap the others talk about but do nothing with so it's about time someone else got in and stirred the pot.

can I have a list of the "normal people" on here please. ?


I don't think you will find much to ukip if he gets any say in anything? once he,s sent all the so called "foreigners" home and isolated us from Europe he runs out of idea,s other than reducing the duty on fags and booze ?

you are right though talking about religion or politics is always divisive :thumbup:

Or go to war :roll: Activism works well when directed appropriately.

I must admit Nigel did come across as the only one that spoke sense and I think once we close the doors and pull out off the EU what we save from that can do a lot of good if not wasted away on management for this and that. But I do agree with Lumpy that there is little else behind him. Nothing wrong with reducing tax on fags and alcohol, maybe fuel will be next. At least that's the sort of thing that affect the people on the ground. And he is no more fascist/racist than the rest of them accept they are racist towards either the rich or poor rather than skin colour or which country your from.

I have said this before and I will say it agin the whole system stinks and what we need is a modern day Oliver Cromwell or even a Guy Faulks to change things. Wipe them out and their system all together. Some will say what will we do without them controlling things with the likes of Police, armed forces etc. There will be anarchy on the streets. Well, so what, let there be anarchy it wont last long and then there will be peace. Don't be fooled.... they are only there to protect the powers to be and the system, not us.

Let there be wars on the streets, survival of the fittest. Let us be able to claim and protect our own land that we grab and be able to chop down trees, build a house or castle a boat without being robbed by the powers to be that rule at the moment. Let us be able to kill those that break into our castles or be killed ourselves. That will sort the deficit of the world out. The deficit of world population growth and resources. Let us plant our gardens and grow our own fruit and veg, let us hunt our meat. Let us take our own water from the resources around us. Let us build our own fire to keep warm. Lets stop making money for the corporations who are slowly killing us all off while they live a life of luxury behind closed doors. Who needs a motorbike when you can have a horse. Lets face it horse travel is faster in most cities these days and most likely a hell of a lot cheaper if you don't have stable costs. Build your own stable and use the horse sh1t for your fires and manure for your gardens.

Some will say I am nuts but that is because you have been brainwashed by the powers to be and commercialism that surrounds us.

I assume you don't know what fascism means, since none of the political parties are fascists, least of them UKIP, since UKIP are the ONLY ones (btw I am not a UKIP voter, just saying) that are offering the people a free choice. The rest of the parties want to dictate to us whether we should be in Europe, whether we like it or not. Since when did democracy become a ruling elite that rule for themselves, not for the people that elected them?

I think you're getting 'right-wing' confused with fascism.
