Pay Up It’s Payback Time. The austerity
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. Food-banks 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, this is the austerity.
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.
