The rich can be as bad dolescum as the poor. Poor people get universal credit. Rich people get land subsidies. It’s all scrounging. 

sure - there are rich who are milking the system, but a lot of those payments go to genuine farmers - you may resent that some rich people have a nice pad that would do you and for your yard - I know I do, but the scale of subsidies vs the scale of cost of dealing with migrants mean the illegal immigrants are what is ruining this country's finances

The UK government spends a significant amount on agricultural subsidies. In 2023, farmers received £2.953 billion in subsidies, and in 2022/23, spending on farm support in England was around £2.33 billion. This support includes various schemes like the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS), which provides delinked payments, and Environmental Land Management schemes (ELMs). The government also provides grants for tree planting and other environmental benefits. 

 

Home Office figures cited by the Financial Times in August last year showed that the annual asylum cost reached £3.96 billion in the year up to 2023—double that of the previous year and six times higher than 2018. Yet, despite that astronomical cost, we continue to increase handouts to France to stop the boats.

For how long were you housed, fed and paid from taxtake in the army?

Whilst serving my country you mean ? As an aside you are subject to income tax and also pay for your accommodation and meals whilst in the armed forces unless on active service. 
Obviously something you aren’t aware of !!.
