UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer Resigns

[Orby]

Taxes have been with us since large communities needing protection and regulation developed even before the Agricultural Revolution (for our friend Orby's information, that was about 10-12,000 years ago). Tribal chiefs levied taxes. Warlords levied taxes. Kings, priest-kings, soi-disant god-kings all levied taxes. Tyrants, dictators, Presidents for Life in basket-case hellholes all levy taxes. Military juntas levy taxes. Communists, Socialists, capitalists and, of course, social democrats all levy taxes. Even hippie communes levy taxes (obviously).

Every government, every society on Earth. Anyone who thinks society can exist without taxation is hopelessly naive. And anyone who thinks society should exist without taxation is a selfish as well as naive.

Taxes should be paid. But it's gone too far. Half the British population are paying for the other half and it's only getting worse. Whole swathes of our population are claiming to be unfit for work yet work has never been as safe. Anxiety is going over a trench into a machine gun nest, going down a coal mine under the north sea, working 16 hours a day in Vikis textile mills, not working for your local council or flipping burgers at McDonalds. The whole world has gone mad and half of us are paying for it. The government sped every meeting planning for who they can rob (tax) off next to pay the insane benefits bill and inflated state workers pay and pensions. No good can come of it long term and the way companies have ditched this island and fled abroad is proof of the insanity taking hold over here. Absolute insanity of the first class, now we get a Commie Scouser as leader to take us forward. It's insane. Total madness.

By telling me I'd got 2 years to live unless I gave up drinking. They did that think where you go into a spinning device like from Startreck and other 'tests' performed. Rubbing silicone or something around the liver area. The pumps and valves went too. Two years! To live. So was ordered to give up, ironically by a Muslim consulate with a big head scarf on. Which is a conspiracy in itself as my friend also was given two years to live.

Errrm.....well, that's medical advice.

You could just ignore it and carry on drinking yourself to death.

It's not  Govt banned.

What's a "Muslim consulate"?

Do you mean Consultant?

Is English your first language?

Whatever else he may be, Burnham is not a "Commie".

Do you hate Scousers, by the way?

Where you from?

Might want to look up what Communism actually is.

Starmer kicked out the Marxist Corbyn and purged the left lunatic fringe.

Still a twat, mind.

Course it is just wrapped up in another language invented by human apes. Commies steal from the hard working get off their backsides make something of their lifes people, then proceed to hand it out to the other half of society who are completely and utterly bone idle good for nothing work shy lead swinginging beer swilling heroine injecting Jeremy Kyle watching Hone Bargains pyjamas wearing riff raff of society. and it's true! They do the Animal Farm thing, ineed Starmer vor whatever new incarnation of Lenin comes along and kills off the farmer then hands out the patches of land to people who clai to want the land yet don't have the skills to run the land, indeed are too bone idle to even contemplete doing the work that needs to be done and the land falls apart as does the farm. They practised this in Commie loving Zim then RSA now they bring it here. Full on Commies all the way. This once great nation is literally on its last gasp, we've probably have Commies in control forever soon with the imported ethnics swamping the ballot box. Ho ho what fun lies ahead in sinking ship Great Britain. One things for sure no lifeboat can save this floundering. I can honestly state this it. The end.

 
Sounds like a big bundle of arguments stitched together with several myths.

With a healthy topping of stereotypes which you're trying to present as facts.

Communism is an economic system, not "giving lazy people free stuff."

And modern Britain is a mixed-market capitalist country with private property, businesses, and elections.

Comparing elected politicians to Lenin ignores huge historical differences.

And blaming economic decline on immigrants or "imported ethnics" is also absolute tripe.

Migrants work, pay taxes, and are part of the economy.

Any idea what would happen to the likes of London Orby if it were to be emptied of immigrants? 

Animal Farm was a warning about authoritarianism and propaganda.

Not proof every centre-left policy becomes Stalinism.

I really don't think thats what Orwell was trying to suggest. 

But most importantly, reducing millions of people to insults avoids the evidence entirely.

Anger is not an argument, Orby...

Why should I, an honest worker who gets no holiday or sick pay be asked to fund the bone idle good for nothing workshy lead swinging Home Bargains dressing gown wearing (inthe shop) permanently suufering from 'anxiety' c@ck sucking layabout class, or Nigerians / bangladeshi's who've just got off the dinghy boat to our shores and expect me to fund their health care when non of their ancestors contributed to this land?

They were part of your "once great empire", so they were forced to contribute.

I don't think many Nigerians or Bangladeshi s are on those boats.

Why, I just ordered a takeaway from a very long established Bangladeshi Curry House.

Problem with that?⁷

And that's the real kicker.

The haters will slag these poor people off to the high heavens.

Parading the streets, sh@gging flags and painting roundabouts, burning out hotels and hostels, screaming about immigrants out, and protecting "are" kids. 

Then turn around, go home, and order Deliveroo.

Where it's the very same people they hate with such passion delivering their food.

It's pathetic...

Trump posted before the announcement that Starmer would resign today before it was announced.

What an unbelievable arrogant twattish thing to do.

Some Statesman, eh?

What a prick.

What goes around tends to come around.

I imagine at some point, it will be him in the same position...

Then it will be unfair and a travesty.
