  1. Like I said, unsubstantiated
  2. An allegation you can’t back up.
  3. Just go along, you’ll be fine.
  4. You clearly don’t understand the cost of living crisis.
  5. Oh, you’re on the immigrant thing.
  6. I suggest you go talk to the people who run them.
  7. I like to go to the data: https://www.statista.com/statistics/382695/uk-foodbank-users/
  8. It was Gordon Brown that established the Pension Protection Scheme you are relying on to protect 75% of your pension.
  9. Not any more apparently. He’s working on water projects in Africa. — But let’s assume he’s still running a rail company in the UK and that he’s really good at his job and that he’s employed a red hot management team to help run the railway company with him. Let’s say he’s worth the money. Why then the need for another 23 managers and management teams to run all 24 rail companies when for decades a signaled British Rail sufficed?
  10. I’m not buying the ‘they are both as bad as each other, but I do agree with you on Corporate greed. As Chomsky says, representative Government isn’t perfect but it offers the possibility of citizens being protected against Corporations. The people telling you not to trust Government are almost entirely on the rightwing corporation backing side of politics. There’s a reason for that.
  11. I think it has something to do with ‘Bitcoin’ ownership being ‘virtual’, or something like that.
  12. I have absolutely no idea who he is, what he does for a living or where you got the photo and information behind your claim.
  13. Or management pay and bonuses? Dividend payments?
  14. Nonsense. Truss has demonstrated that things can get a lot worse, and it only took her three weeks to do it. But please, do tell us what your preferred alternative is to elected government?
  15. Money that could be cut from fares: https://fullfact.org/economy/do-public-want-railways-renationalised/
  16. I think got more to do with train services being run for profit and not as a public service.
  17. Find public transportation with taxes. Maybe leave that 45% in place for the purpose.
  18. You mean millions of people in the UK aren’t struggling to afford regular meals? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/cost-of-living-crisis-uk-food-poverty-b2074449.html
  19. I’m trying not to laugh at that ridiculous response.
  20. I’m all for bus drivers being well paid too.
  21. But surely you understand inflation reduces their standard of living.
  22. But you said the price is set years ago. Regardless, the UK receives around 3% of its gas from Russia. So I don’t think the ‘not receiving 3%’ is the cause. Me thinks it’s rapid price hikes, somebody agrees with me: https://heatable.co.uk/boiler-advice/where-does-the-UK-get-its-gas-from?gclid=CjwKCAjwhNWZBhB_EiwAPzlhNrBggJd_NqrR8iADp89hB_BuZqkemKIHxY1cpduduMfwe0q1MC1mfBoCMJkQAvD_BwE
