not aimed at you at all. I don't see you as an angry socialist.
MBK and his ilk, will use public services as and when it's convenient for them to do so. When it comes to paying (taxes) for them, they claim that the company liable for paying those taxes, exists somewhere other than the UK.Motorbiking wants to live in a country without properly funded public services.
Public health?
Weights and measures?
Accident prevention?
Food standards?
Road safety?
In other news today:
"Chinese authorities have opened an investigation into cooking oil shipments after a local media report alleged that fuel tankers had been used to carry edible oil without being cleaned, setting off the latest food safety scandal in the country.
An undercover video by state-backed Beijing News last week showed numerous fuel tanker trucks carried cooking oil, with one driver calling it an “open secret” in the industry that truckers didn’t clean their tanks when switching between hauling toxic and edible liquids.
“I haul sugar, honey, molasses, cooking oil, motor lubricant,” another driver said in the video. “I haul everything.” A third truck driver said he usually did not pay the Rmb400-500 ($55-69) to wash his truck’s tank before changing cargo."

Motorbiking sneers at serious press media.
The parasites are those who moan that others should pay more tax,
PMSL...Except I don't - I pay a lot of tax every year and fit snuggly in to the 1% who pay 28% of all income tax.
The parasites are those who moan that others should pay more tax, so that they can enjoy the benefits of tax funded free services that they haven't contributed to. That is pretty much the definition of parasite.
I’d be happy to pay no tax and pay for every single thing I consumed from the state. I’d be significantly better off. Would you?

Pensioners are indeed parasites by your definition but we accept that as being part of a humane society.I've not said anything of the sort.. btw I was referring to the 1% of tax payers who pay 28% of all income tax (in fact 29%), not someone who has managed his affairs to not pay much income tax. Its not complex...
43% pay no income tax.
10% pay over 60% of all income tax
1% pay over 28%
and you think its those who pay the most, that are the parasites.. righto.

I pointed out that rather a high percentages of pensioners have additional income so will be paying tax. There state pension is likely to be taken of their tax allowance. Poorer one some of it. Due to the probable nature of their other pension they will have contracted out of the full state Those that contracted out who retired ~10 years ago and more recently may have contracted back in.Pensioners are indeed parasites by your definition but we accept that as being part of a humane society.
