Government Maths Does Not Add Up

Rishi might want to get children to continue maths for longer, but his sums do not add up, disappointing since he was once a Chancellor of the Exchequer.

The government’s aim is to cut taxes in an economy with a shrinking workforce and an aging population. I am not an economist but if you have less income being generated for public services and public services are requiring more funding, you would, surely, have to push up taxes and in order to be fair.

The burden should fall on the wealthier and wealthiest members of society.

Surely if a plan to create prosperity has failed to do under austerity, perhaps a switch to giving the poorer members of society more spending money rather than giving the rich tax breaks for them to just stick their cash in shares, wealth management investments and pensions.

Where is the incentive for industry to invest in renewables? Where is the fashion industries commitment to fighting climate change?

Rapanui is the only firm I can find that has a renewable powered factory and uses organic cotton. Do the government and fashion industry live on another planet? Our is dying, we need to revive it.

Where are the initiatives like ‘The Hoover Dam’ in the UK, you could harness tidal energy and set up generating installations that will protect eroding coasts, you could build dams – insurance companies – that prevent expensive flooding and generate hydro electric energy – there’s a new revenue stream for you.

Industry and commerce should step up to solve our energy crisis.

Where are the electric trains on Great Western Railway, they are still using dirty diesel, disgraceful and farcical.

We need to pay the workers a fair wage to cope with the situation created by the government. All nurses need to be able to feel rewarded for their work; they need to avoid the necessity of visiting a food bank after a twelve-hour shift.

Train drivers should not have to drive longer trains without a guard; unless the train companies put in barriers to stop people from boarding trains. The driver would be liable for anyone injured in trains with no guard. Everyone deserves a living wage. Foodbanks should not be a necessity.

Those who have more should be willing to pay more tax to help less fortunate and above all; corporations that would like to avoid paying their fair share of taxes should contribute to the common good. Then, we would have enough to run a decent welfare state.

If the EU can cap Russian gas prices why can’t the UK government cap UK gas and electricity prices.

Already, one business in Ritherdon Road has closed; a restaurant crippled by fuel prices, our pizza take away is considering closing due to the extortionate costs of running his ovens.

What is the government doing to help those in most need? What are they doing to support businesses that provide the tax to fund much of their public spending.

We need a new approach and a new government. Cap fuel prices bring about social change and make making money less onerous for us all.

Twelve years of austerity, public services went through to save the country – now it’s pay-back time.

A story by Michael Fitzalan

They have to get from The Algarve to Ibiza, all very straightforward until engine failure and storms threaten to sink all their plans. The Taint Gallery tells the story of a modern Romeo and Juliet; the story is set in Cheslea and Fulham, not Verona, nevertheless, it is a doomed relationship. The book was shunned by big publishers for its highly charged and graphic sexual content and the small publisher who produced the book folded, copies are rare. A reprint is planned for its twentieth anniversary next year; it is still as pertinent and shocking today as it was back in 1996. Switch is an amazing mixture of Franz Kafka realism yet it reads like a Raymond Chandler thriller. Joe Ederer falls for a French girl but he is recovering from being dumped by his English girlfriend. A fish out of water in London, he chases her home only to be rejected. He hooks up with a suffocating drug addict and that is when his nightmares begin. Major Bruton’s Safari is the story of innocents abroad; a family invited to celebrate the coronation of the Kabaka of Buganda become indoctrinated into the ways of Africa.

As he leaves, his shoes leave bloody footprints and the police come looking for him. Carom – Finn McHugh and his team take on a swindler and smuggler, Didier, who is depraved in so many ways. They know he is smuggling art and drugs; he must be stopped before others take him out. The Cubans, want him dead, Finn wants to break the smuggling ring. Who will win? Remember the Fifth November – Guy Fawkes was innocent, Catesby was a broken man who brought his children up in the Anglican faith, yet Robert Cecil arranged for them to be portrayed as terrible villains. With a spy service second to none and with moles everywhere how could someone hatch a plot like this and fail to be discovered? The answer, they could not. Read the truth! One – Bullying does not go on anymore in schools. I would not bet on it. Weep as you read the terrible story of a school bully and the misery he dispenses to all the boys. Then, cheer as one of his victims takes revenge. Take a trip to a prep school in a time when kids built tree houses, danced and swung on Tarzan ropes!
