RT by @june_mummery: Almost every public service and infrastructure is crumbling. Millions of people are really struggling to survive the cost of living crisis and many are slipping into bankruptcy, bad health, poverty and homelessness. NHS waiting lists are at record levels of over 7 million people facing treatment delays. Farmers are being fleeced by the supermarkets. Small businesses are going bankrupt at record levels. The high street is dying. School buildings are unfit for purpose. The care homes sector is a total mess. Utility services are completely crap, but household and business utility payments have become extortionate.

But nothing ever gets done to fix any of this.

Yet our government continues to spend £billions of our tax money putting up immigrants in hotels, issuing dodgy contracts to various corporations, net zero targets, bombing Yemen and throwing money at Ukraine.

And then to rub salt into the wounds, the government punishes everyone with horrendous levels of taxation and finds numerous ways to create a surveillance society and reduce our freedoms.

It’s a wilful government piss take of the people they are supposed to prioritise - namely, the people who fund them - British taxpaying citizens. It’s completely unacceptable. We are paying them to repeatedly punish us, while at the same time, the biggest transfer of wealth history to the super-rich is happening right under our noses.

Enough is enough.
