"Mate of mine is £175,000 better of per year.. He's as happy as a pig in shit.. Does your pal also have empathy for normal people?" Personally I would not gloat and keep my own good fortune quiet. Nothing more vulgar than boasting about money. It is one of the reasons many traders in the City are so hated. They all still think they are Gordon Gecko. | |||

"during a cost of living crisis and spiralling inflation, Truss + Kwarteng shat out a budget that hugely favours the rich. They also removed the cap on bankers' bonuses. And they refused to institute a windfall tax on energy companies who have been milking us dry + making out like bandits. Millions will likely suffer under this budget. The pound has fallen off a cliff. And the IMF have gone so far as to rebuke this madness. Really, does anybody here support all this?" Nope | |||

"I dunno if I’m being stupid, but why is giving the guys at the top a 5% (6% really) tax break help? Trying to understand. I’m a simple guy. Won’t they just take that extra 5% and buy more properties to rent to poor people? Which they’ve conveniently cut stamp duty for too Or they’ll just put it in investments/stock or something? Part of me thinks, I’m an idiot, this must be happening for a reason. It’s not legal, in 2022, to so obviously just steal from the poor and give it to the rich. Not possible, someone would step in. Am I an idiot? " The budget was clearly designed to hugely favour the rich. | |||

"Yes I 100% support it." Why do you support a grossly unfair budget that is set to fuck over many people while making the richest richer during a cost of living crisis?

I was hoping something existed that would allow donations anonymously, that would allow contribution to either a whole payment or into a payment pot that can be shared. Can't find anything close to this. Maybe the local food banks will be doing something for people in your area? The local ones here give support other than just food." The food banks are well served. Helping people with genuine energy bill stress, is what I'm trying to find.

"Mate of mine is £175,000 better of per year.. He's as happy as a pig in shit.. Does your pal also have empathy for normal people? Why would you ask that? If I was a millionaire, I would be unhappy getting richer while normal people were suffering. What would you do in his shoes? He wouldn't celebrate. He'd be unhappy at the misfortune of others. Again, not hard to figure out. Exactly this. Have empathy for other humans. Besides, all I did here was ask a question, not sure why you got so upset about it. It's what he does on here. He asks laughably bad attempted gotcha questions then seems surprised/irritated if things don't work out. Ah. That explains the weirdness. That is just rude, no weirdness here. I wanted to understand what you were thinking more clearly, hence my question. You answered, I have now got a clear picture of what you meant. No offense intended. I was just confused by your line of questioning. I genuinely thought you were thinking more about what you would do with the money to help. That was the reason for the second question and feeds into something I have been considering. I have been looking for a way to contribute towards energy bills for those that really need it. I'm no millionaire, I am fortunately comfortable and thought it would be easy to find something setup to help, I think that was being optimistic.

"Yes I 100% support it. Look at me, look at me everyone
Yes that's right, the purpose of a politics forum is for a tiny group of people who all agree with one another to spout the same clueless shit.
And anyone who disagrees with them is an attention seeker.
Look its Mr clue here, he know everything, super fountain of knowledge, and he is naked to boot, naked know it all whoop, whoop!
At least learn how to type English."Ooh raw nerve!, grammar correction, the last refuge of the troll  | |||

"I dunno if I’m being stupid, but why is giving the guys at the top a 5% (6% really) tax break help? Trying to understand. I’m a simple guy. Won’t they just take that extra 5% and buy more properties to rent to poor people? Which they’ve conveniently cut stamp duty for too Or they’ll just put it in investments/stock or something? Part of me thinks, I’m an idiot, this must be happening for a reason. It’s not legal, in 2022, to so obviously just steal from the poor and give it to the rich. Not possible, someone would step in. Am I an idiot? " Govt give tax cuts = more money retained the richer you are BoE worried about inflation having more money sloshing about might cause so raise interest rates = rich people put money into savings with higher rates and invest in funds buying Govt debt which just started paying far higher returns thanks to higher interest rates. The rich get richer. The poor get distracted by what they are getting (while ignoring how the wider economic impacts will negate any tax/NI they now get to keep). The Tories have run out of state assets to sell to bail themselves out. So they are just letting themselves and chums stick their hand in the till until closing time. | |||

Aren’t there regulators or something to stop this happening? Anti-corruption measures? That’s what I don’t get. I feel like the public are being bent over and fucked, and the police aren’t around to stop it. | |||

We will keep reminding them what they did or enabled to happen. It is on them and they need to own it! | |||
