O/t jobless culture of the north east

If you're not prepared to to discuss it why keep bring it up like a little rat. You're working your ticket with multiple posters on multiple threads. Just admit your only objective is to disrupt the board. You're pathetic.

He's nowt but an internet hard man fueled by his inadequacies in real life. Let's face it smug, if he went on like he is on here in real life he'd have been kicked to ****ing death a long time ago. He squeaks like a mouse in real life, I don't doubt it for a second.

SUNDERLAND faces another three years of misery after it was revealed another £108million of savings will have to be made in an ‘unremitting assault and ‘attack on the poor.’

The Labour cabinet at Sunderland City Council agreed a report which will guide the budget setting process for the next financial year.

By adopting the budget planning framework 2015/16, which shows the reduction in national funding remaining at 13.16 per cent for the next financial year, cabinet members have agreed that cuts of £36.3million will have to be made.

Presenting the report, cabinet secretary Mel Speding said the cuts would mean frontline services would be cut – but pledged the council will still push forward with regeneration projects.

“The sustained level of cuts means frontline services will unavoidably be affected,” Coun Speding said, adding that: “This council continues to lobby against government proposals.”

Coun Graeme Miller added: “This is an unremitting assault on the public sector and local authorities in general. Quite how they expect us to deliver the services the residents of the city are expecting from us I have absolutely no idea. To have lost £100million already, then to have to find another £108million, beggars belief.”

Coun John Kelly said: “Other authorities and areas have not taken the significant cuts we have taken. Whether this is because we are a Labour-controlled authority or because we are in the North East, the Conservatives have done nothing but attack this area. If they are voted back in, they will continue to attack the poor. They will continue to dismantle, bit by bit, the way we look after the most vulnerable people.”

Commenting after the meeting, Tory group leader Lee Martin said the Labour councillors failed to see the bigger picture.

“It doesn’t gel with what’s happening in people’s lives,” Coun Martin said. “We’ve had the fastest fall in poverty rates, along with Scotland, at five per cent. This comes from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, which is hardly a Conservative organisation. We have the fastest growing economy in Europe.

“There has been no commitment from Ed Miliband or the Labour Party to spend more on local government if they get in. Labour like to talk about it as a great big crusade against the North East, but they did nothing to address regeneration, employment and welfare.

“We have money going into business parks, roads, regeneration, but the difference now is that everything comes with strings attached.

“Nobody believes that we have no money. If that was the case, why would we spend £12million on a public square. Yes, the council is smaller than it used to be, but there is no commitment from them to go back to how it used to be. It’s all about where their priorities are.”

Sunderland Unison organiser Helen Metcalf said: “From our point of view we want to protect public services as far as possible. Where there is outsourcing of services, we need to protect contracts and working conditions, and ensure we get a fair deal for our members. We have offered to work with the council. We can’t stop services being outsourced, but we want to ensure we don’t move towards zero-hour contracts and a two-tier workforce.”

London to the midlands rail link ,how many billions ? to arrive about twenty mins earlier , maddness

 

So the basic message here is...

Get the **** out of the UK?

 

Not at all, the UK is like a tin of Quality Street ....... some delicious, some you can't get enough of and some that take your fillings out.

As long as you're sensible enough, and able enough, to pick & choose you'll really enjoy it

 

I would not attach too much importance to tax percentages as the rich are not going to pay it anyway, for starters the tax laws were not written by poor men but by people with a vested interest in being able to avoid paying them, I refuse to believe that they were stupid enough to design them so that the most wealthy would pay the most tax, but they did have to make it appear that way, so the easiest way to do that is to make the wealthy pay at a higher rate, then write in ways to avoid them, in the case of companies in most of the western world they themselves decide how much tax they will pay each year , a task performed by very well payed accountants

 

I did some security related work for an English lawyer in Monaco. He had endless clients who were 'investing' in a Swedish scheme, supported by their government which was 'creating a tourist infrastructure' in the Turcs & Caicos islands ....... wtf?

It was 100% tax free and completely untraceable .......... million upon million was going through that office and the English lawyer wasn't paying tax on his earnings either All of this rhetoric by the likes of Cameron is just waffle to make people think the government really gives a ****, they don't.

 

Sunderland council are a disgrace they make the benefits cut and savings it's their responsibility to look after their own budget but they blame the tories who have no say in Sunderland and all the people believe them. Let's get this straight any hardship in Sunderland is caused by the council and not the tories.

 

I wasn't talking about tax rates mate, I was talking about overall tax burden which, in addition to tax on salary, includes VAT, tax on fuel, alcohol, cigarettes, Inheritance tax etc.

My point is that I expect my tax burden to increase under Labour and I am happy with that, in order to finance the NHS, Welfare State etc.
