Are those cleaners paying tax?

I’ve never spoken with them. Different social circles don’t you know.  One does not engage with the hired help.

With the exception of the kitchen staff, never annoy them!

Saturday night off-shore and you can really feel the cost of living crisis kicking in. Not hot Lobster option tonight, just cold. It’s really hitting home.

told by the Green Eyed Monsters to stop complaining. 

This is where your argument falls down with me, I can earn a coin, I pay my taxes, if I wanted/needed to earn more I could, just like the arb industry, the pump industry is short of staff. I’m not envious of people who earn more than me, they probably work harder, and know more than me.

 

Ya do tend to tar everyone with the same brush.

I was not referring to you. To be fair you’ve never commented on middle earners and I’ve never thought of you as someone who has an axe to grind against those who are.

Am I miles out, or are the Conservatives in so much of a muddle that it's leading them to feck up the country as to make it difficult for Labour to sort it out short term, a bit like Brown/Blair did?

Come on42 realistically what on gods earth did you think was gonna be the long term repercussions of, BBL and associated defaults, Furlough schemes to pay people to stay at home, self employed grants etc etc never mind the billions wasted on useless PPE,Testing and quite frankly vaccines of to say the least dubious effectiveness 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️come on actually think about what was done here for a minute 😞.  What a lot of that madness you backed achieved was to allow these so called parasites to get back into a position ( or redistribute billions) where they can increase their profits at a monumental scale. I’m pretty sure a few on here warned of the folly of what was being done and again I’m pretty sure a good few more on here defended it all absolutely wholeheartedly and ridiculed anyone whom questioned a single thing “ tin hat being the favourite “didn’t they 42. I really wish there had been a opt in opt out choice where you can play the mad game if you are terrified and believe the bollocks but at the end you have to pick up the tab, whereas if you don’t buy into it and just go about your business, possibly catch covid and get on with things as the overwhelming majority did, you are exempted from the mess and costs that must surely follow 2 years of utter utter stupidity. 

And breath ............and relax!
You've either had a few too many beers, or are in need of a few.
Anyway, wrong thread bud. However, since you insist; if you actually do think that Banks have suddenly become parasitic and this whole mess is due to the advent of CV-19 then you must be even more  than I realised.
