But these departments for example
British Monarchy
British National Space Centre
Environment Agency
Equal Opportunities Commission
Equality and Human Rights Commission
European Consumer Centre for Services
European Ombudsman
Racial Equality, Commission for
Resilience, UK (Civil Contingencies Secretariat)
Women's National Commission
Child Support Agency
Civil Contingencies Secretariat
Culture, Media and Sport, Department for
Stabilisation Unit
all these could go or at be massively reduced and it wouldn't be drastic, folk wouldn't die, the country wouldn't be any the worse off for not having all the bureaucrats shuffling bits of paper amongst themselves at our expense.
This is the sort of crap that Labour massively increased for no reason other than to massage the unemployment figures, buy votes and try and make the economy look a bit better despite the fact they were keeping they were burying the fact we were in the worst peace time financial mess ever.
That would be the world of £25bn worth of tax avoidance in the last year alone :p : Such a fine example to all of us.Quote:

Would love to know who you think would be calling the public, giving out advice in advance of likely flood events.Quote:

Even little things like dropping temperature in all offices to 18 would save a fortune, but these parasites would grizzle, strike etc.
Have you any comprehension how much tax and NI revenue his firm brings in to the UK, a down sight more than all these worthless parasites do as they bring in zilch not a single ****ing penny they just take, he's quite entitled to avoid what he does, more in fact. Odd how rentamob didn't barricade Tesco as they avoid far more than Top Shop do, ahh but I was forgetting silly me, they gave loads of back handers to Labour didn't they. Blair was even offered or given a job by Tesco when he stepped down as chief liar and murderer.Quote:

I don't pay a penny more than I have to, and begrudge paying that as I know the government will only waste it.
But slightly connected, I do think that some means of paying your winter fuel allowance, free eye tests etc back into the system should be set up. I believe in America many deliberately over pay their taxes to help the country (although rather strangely anything you over pay is tax deductible).
So if people weren't warned about flooding and got caught in flooding they somehow magically wouldn't die? :laugh:Quote:

Fox isn't the BBC, make no mistake, but they are not exactly stupid. close to 40% of their viewers vote Democrat or are independents. It isn't just the network of mouth breeders and whackjobs...Quote:
