Close down the AD plants. You really are a reactionary communist.We should aim to be as food efficient as possible for the sake of all trade agreements.
Simple - close down AD plants, Vivergo, Dog Food factories.

I would agree, but many don't see that. Saw a miner on GB news the other day tell us the solution was 'proper jobs' not 'shelf stacking' in supermarkets.You are still making something to sell.
In Scotland buses are free up to age 22. And of course for over 60s too. As well as uni fees, prescriptions, eye checks and personal care for the elderly.. I was confronted by one chap handing out fliers campaigning to have buses made free of charge for students. I asked who he expected should pay for this: 'the government', where upon I informed him that the reality of his answer was in fact: 'the tax payer' and that because I am one I would not be campaining for free buses as I would be the one paying for it.
London gov threw taxation.In Scotland buses are free up to age 22. And of course for over 60s too. As well as uni fees, prescriptions, eye checks and personal care for the elderly.
I don't know exactly who pays for it. Some of those well off toffs who pay 45% tax
So in short, everything is someone else's problem and funnily enough while farmers will take lessons from no one, you're an expert.
Just on the 'NHS' management clear out my mate is the maintenance manager for our local hospital. Without him his guys don't know what to fix. Then there's HR, total waste except they do the recruitment, the accountants wh run the budget. The people who send the letters. I could go on but there's a lot of admin because there is a lot of admin. When I was in most of it was making sure they didn't operate on the wrong kidney. Then there were the dementia patients on my ward who ate up 90% of the nurses time. The drunks. Then we need to manage the cleaners. The people who fed me. The pharmacists who provided the medication. The porters.
And as for dropping algebra because its not used in the real world. I'm no good at it but holy crap your world is built on algebra. The list below is a sample but essentially all engineering needs it. Thank f**k you're not in charge....

There was lots of RAF kids boarding at my school, also loads of farmers kids. Could argue both taxpayer funded!
Vexes me some of things that are free in scotland , its just not right .In Scotland buses are free up to age 22. And of course for over 60s too. As well as uni fees, prescriptions, eye checks and personal care for the elderly.

I don’t have a problem paying tax as long as it is not wasted. The problem lies with the civil service not spending my money as if it was their own. Too many administrative empires across all public services created fo protect the people at the top from making day to day decisions. Take out layers of middle management by making it clear what the workers delivering the service need to do and provide them with the pay and kit to deliver.
Change the culture of the civil service so they concentrate on the product rather than the process.
Cryptic.Hook line and sinker ...........
Would you agree with me that if conscription is to be a thing, that this cohort should be front of the queue ?The only way you'll change the culture of the civil service (and local government officers, come to that) is with a bloody great big stick. Damn near everything else has been tried over the years, and failed, so it's the last thing left to try.
Maybe youngsters are simply angry that so much of their hard earned cash goes on rent/roof over their head that they've barely anything left for food or fun.Listening to general public interviewed yesterday after the budget, all the younger (well they sounded it) were saying taxes should go up to pay for services etc. one older Irish guy said let people decide what they spend their money on. Made me think the younger generation would rather have all the services paid for by the state nearly to the point we may aswell become a communist state. Civil servants and politicians will decide how much money we get to keep and how much they will then waste on needless pc sh!t.
Very much respect this post.Do you actually understand what a communist state is? Talk to poles, czechs and east germans who actually lived under real communism. People who risked torture, deportation to gulags and execution. People here have have no idea how good life here is compared to what happened in Russia or China.
I'll moan about taxes as much as the next guy but I'll never try and compare the pampered life we live here compared to those who suffered under it.
In any case people are more nuanced on this than the media portray. https://options2040.co.uk/public-opinion-and-taxation-the-surprising-reality/ - the bit on framing is important.

Free market would allow construction of more houses, but our planning system has more bureaucracy and red tape than I imagine a communist system does.
Know someone ( a nurse ) who got a new job in the health service.I don’t have a problem paying tax as long as it is not wasted. The problem lies with the civil service not spending my money as if it was their own.

Fair point.And of course, it's not in any housebuilder's interests to reduce that shortage by building too many.
