Hi SkinnyWe live in a country where the vast majority believe that everybody above them on the income ladder should pay for everything whilst those above them on the income ladder believe they are paying far more than their fair share.When I was a teenager and again when I was not long married with two kids in my mid twenties the concept of discretionary expenditure was totally foreign to me. All our income went on basics. Today people appear to resent having to spend on basics.

I see Govey has come up with more good socialist strategies to stop people spending any money they have somehow managed to save how they like.

Hes going to double the VAT and road tax on any second cars a family own and they must have a separate license for every TV they own. Great plan to beat Labour at their own game.

It is an expensive business: in 2014 the former National Treatment Agency (NTA) estimated the cost to the NHS of treating drug misuse at around £500m a year. The total cost of alcohol misuse to the NHS in England has been estimated to be as much as £3.5bn a year.24 May 2018

Scruff, a more accurate comparison might be to only prosecute those who are alcohol intolerant for shoplifting offenses?

Same logic that says if you help shoplifters to wrap and store their swag and show sympathy to them for the bad behaviour that society has foisted on em they will repent. End of problem

Like so many entrepreneurs Mo Arif has been forced to take his business abroad because of raising rents and spiralling energy costs. Council tax initiatives and reduction in the energy cap will mean horticulturalist like Mo will now be able to sell their cannabis proudly with a 'grown un the UK' sticker & avoid the embarrassing 'smuggler' label. Better late than never from Govey.

and one from Loony Lands Manchester division

Mohammed Arif was convicted of smuggling 30k of cannabis into the UK from Thailand. He was sentenced to 14 months in prison. He will serve half of this in jail.

Any other country this would be a typing error

National Identity is being sold to those with the deepest pockets in our corrupt capitalist system masqueradeing as "democracy." If its not the Tories selling UK assets to the highest bidder its Labour giving them away for nothing. Scruffs lot in the middle east will have the black flag flying over the HOC, easter will be dispensed with and we'll all have to move to Benidorm when we're 65.

You'll be happy in the British Falklands mm2 Ha, but their Victorian English is peppered with Chilean Spanish slang and names of faraway places like... TACAREMBO LA TUMBE DEL FUEGO SANTA MALIPAS ZATATECAS LA JUNTA DEL SOLY CRUZ. Oh, and no Deliveroo chicken tikka!
