Opinions differ. There’s plenty of unearned income going untaxed. The latest scam of building loopholes into the tax code for Non Doms being an example Corporate Offshoring of profits being another. Well past time to sign up to the CCCTB Oh… that’s what the Tories were trying to avoid.

Being possessed of blind ignorance is one thing, choosing to announce it on the internet is something else entirely.

Assuming of course the Tories retain enough seats to be the Party of Opposition.

Shiver me timbers, I don’t think the WH had anything to say about ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day’ either.

Can you point to anything that Jesus said that warrants all this outrage over the coincidence of dates? Give it your best go.

‘Gammon’ grievance over feeling left out.

Self loathing is a terrible thing.

So if I have a friend whose birthday falls on Easter Sunday, is it wrong of me to wish them a happy birthday?

Do his handlers let him walk in the park these days?

Caitlyn Jenner is a Republican. “Easter, the perfect occasion for the political right to turn up their message of hate, enmity and division.“

Easter, the perfect occasion for the political right to turn up their message of hate, enmity and division.

He’s claims to have actuary skills and doesn’t do the ‘who knows what might add up’ scenario. Something doesn’t add up.

You spotted that!

Except people can do the math. And people do get to retirement and see the gap between what they would have received under their original pension contracts and what they actually receive under their new contracts. 99% you say. When I see anyone quoting an opinion that 99% of someone or something they don’t agree with I 100% know they (you) are dreaming up nonsense.

I guess it wouldn’t bother you if the police arrest people just for the money.

While hypothesize numbers to suit your point of view, we have this to give us an insight: “The starting salary is more than £4,000 less than a constable who joined the police before 2013, when the then home secretary Theresa May slashed officer salaries in a raft of controversial austerity measures.“ With starting salaries 85% of what they were 11 years ago, is it any wonder “Worried officers have proposed setting up food banks for police recruits, The Independent can reveal, as one in 10 admit to relying on handouts.”

And this, is this a quote from the article? “Worried officers have proposed setting up food banks for police recruits, The Independent can reveal, as one in 10 admit to relying on handouts.” Yes or no? How about this: “Worried officers have floated the idea of establishing food banks specifically tailored for police recruits, underscoring the severity of the situation.”

Why? The article clearly states the salary of recruits, of which one in 10 admit to relying on handouts. The article further states: “Worried officers have floated the idea of establishing food banks specifically tailored for police recruits, underscoring the severity of the situation.” So the subject is police recruits, known salary, relying on handouts to the point were officers have considered setting up dedicated food banks for police recruits. While I understand your pedantry has the better of you, it is a mistake on your part to believe it has the better of anyone else.

Perhaps this evaded you: ”Worried officers have proposed setting up food banks for police recruits, The Independent can reveal, as one in 10 admit to relying on handouts.”

You inserted an imaginary police officer into the discussion, and you say I’m losing my touch?

If you know of such an officer post the details and we’ll discuss further.

Feel free to invent a survey 😉

The police officers being referred to in the OP are all junior recruits, I doubt very much they are at all involved in the allocation of police resources. 20mph zones are a matter for local councils, they are generally popular with local residents, particularly those who have children. There are no ‘police no go areas’ in the UK, though I would agree there is a need for more police presence in many places. Perhaps it wasn’t a good idea to cut 20,000 experienced officers out of the force and in doing so wipe out community policing.

The only thing it demonstrates is the sense of entitlement exhibited by a high earner and how out of touch Hunt is with the reality of most people’s financial circumstances.

Different people, different circumstances. Maybe we need some recently surveyed parent to clinch the argument.
