20 Million on Benefits

On the Windrush myth...

Oh what a surprise: SPLINE likes Simon Webb, a global warming denialism, has connections to far right influencers, his channels are filled with comments from white supremacists, Islamophobes , transphobes……no doubt SPLINE posts on there




Simon Webb, also known as History Debunked, is a British far-right YouTuber, global warming denialist, and pseudohistorian. Ironically, despite his YouTube channel claiming to debunk history, it mostly focuses on Webb's stance on modern politics, particularly in regards to the decline of British society. His content mostly focuses on the problems of immigration, multiculturalism, climate change, the black diaspora, the territorial disputes between Israel and Palestine, and supposed historical revisionism.[2]

Webb has connections to far-right influencers and white nationalists. He has spoken at events for the Traditional Britain Group.[3][4] He is an opponent of diversity and multiculturalism and has complained about seeing interracial relationships between black men and white women on British television.[1][5][6] Unsurprisingly, his video comments sections are rife with racists, white supremacists, antisemites, Islamophobes, transphobes, conspiracy theorists, and just about every collective crowd of far-right bigots you can think of.

Let me tell you once again because you have trouble comprehending things. I am not anybody else but myself. 1 name only.

Unlike yourself that has definitely been here before under another name, if not actually still posting under the other name.

says the riots are stoked by the far right

Correct

WHEN ACTUALLY the riots were caused by immigrants murdering, raping and harassing British children.

Incorrect

Himmy also says that the damage repair is paid for by the taxpayer.

Correct

WHAT HIMMY SHOULD CONSIDER

Got it wrong again, sunshine

is that immigrants are being paid one billion pounds a month in benefits from the British taxpayer.

Just show where I support the need or desire for this ?

Just try putting your brain in gear before posting more drivel please.

I'd recommend to anyone on either side of the debate - who hasn't come across it before - taking a good couple of hours reading up on Modern Monetary Theory. Stupid name, because it is not all that modern, is based more on fiscal rather than monetary policy, and is not a theory. But name aside, it looks at how macroeconomics REALLY works in a country such as ours, and any other sovereign currency issuing country. And it's far from what we are led to believe. Open your mind, unlearn what you've been told, and you may well have a Copernican moment.

There's a lot to digest.

In the spirit of this thread though, I'll start with the fact that our taxes don't pay for anything. Taxes are important for a variety of reasons which I won't go into now. But they are not required by the treasury for funding and spending. They are at the END of the chain. If you think about it, they have to be. Money can only be put into the economy by the BoE (well, commercial banks too, but that's slightly different). That's where ALL our public money comes from. Step back and it is obvious. It can't come from anywhere else. It's a one way street process, and the last step of the process is taxation. The money taken through taxes could just as well be buried or burnt. I'll repeat though - taxes DO matter, but in no way relate to spending.

When the likes of Reform Ltd (for real) or Trump Inc. (just sounds good) take to stage, who are they pleasing? When Trump was inaugurated, who surrounded him? How many people here buy from Amazon? How much tax does Amazon pay in this country?
