So you don't actually have an opinion on WFA. Do you hold an opinion on anything? Or are you just anti-Labour? Or anti-politics in general? Complaining about everything at your local Wetherspoons. And no, I am not a member of any political party. Really intelligent conversation you have.
Nigel Farage admits his election promises were bogus

And your point is? If those are pensions that have been promised to those workers, then they should be upheld. Do you disagree? Incidentally, the majority of public sector pensions are tiny, a few thousand a year. (For context, there are around 315 councils in England alone.)
I'm simply saying that your statement "the vast proportion of council taxes is spent on statutory services for children and old folk" is a load of old bollix..

The class snobbery in this stinks. Surely you can make your point without it. I hope when he returns, he rips you a new ass hole quite frankly.
This came from the taxpayers alliance…..I’d need to see the source data before believing.
See the thread title
But since you ask
I don’t go into westherspoons and have never been in one
I have not voted since the 80s and when I did I voted for
Michael foot ounce
Neil kinnock twice
And I don’t partake in alcohol
I have never voted conservative ever
And I do have an opinion on WFA
Start a thread on the caper if you want ??
You a party member ???
I will
Leave you to frequent weatherspoons

Far rage’s greatest skill is his self promotion. Gullible voters will reason that because other parties have failed to deliver, re form will. That they possess an inherent ability to run the country, and to manage the economy. What next 30 pee Lee as chancellor of the exchequer.
Surely you must have been on the booze when you voted Michael Foot.
Chosen at random: Birmingham Council for 24/25. I think you need some better evidence for your statement.
Not really, in your example adult social care, children & families and schools come in at under half of the budget. Under half isn't the 'vast majority' is it?
but Farage wants to slash the size of the state, privatise the NHS, deregulate
all Farage would so is make the wealthy more wealthy and ordinary people worse off
Farage is just a right populist, a mini Trump
dont listen to what he says, listen to his actions...........Farage is a man who has Belgium residency so he doesnt pay tax here
but thats not total council revenue, they’ve excluded business rates, grants, fees and charges from revenue.
these days jobs in the private sector get better pensions

There are significant areas of some communities, actually some towns, where many (most?) are on benefits, have been on benefits for years, with a significant percentage of those being perfectly happy to be on benefits and not working.
Yes there's another discussion to be had around this i.e. have they been conditioned into a life on benefits due to lack of opportunity etc. Nevertheless, the FACT remains, there are many on benefits who are perfectly happy to be so. It's just that the wokey tree-hugging lefties don't like to admit it. According to them, practically everyone on benefits would rather work.
Nah

And of course what work is available in those areas.There are significant areas of some communities, actually some towns, where many (most?) are on benefits, have been on benefits for years, with a significant percentage of those being perfectly happy to be on benefits and not working.
