The lack of real growth since 2008 is killing us.

Ageing population, triple lock, the young increasingly disengaged from a country stacked against them.
Plus the 2016 suicide note at the ballot box. The same mugs are falling for the same guy that sold them that. As much as they want to blame politicians, there's nobidy to blame but themselves.Thats why the country is screwed. RIP the UK.

Re: Local Elections 2026
You can advocate for the triple-lock. I would keep it until at least our pensions match those of some European countries, but you would have to pay for it. If it keeps increasing beyond the growth needed to pay for it, then it will take up an increasing percentage of our budget.

Re: Local Elections 2026
The use of AI is growing nicely, remind me again how much tax and N.I. that pays, and whether the business 'employing' it pays a contribution

VAT on all the electric used I guess, not much else.

Re: Local Elections 2026
Nothing wrong with inventing things and improving them over the years, it's the future problems farther down the line that cause issues we don't see at the time.
Take the Internal Combustion Engine, wow what a boon to mankind that's been since it appeared . . . and is now apparently killing the planet
