All this Budget Speculation 23:28 - Oct 18 with 9950 views | JACKMANANDBOY | The plan seems to be to raise taxes like IHT and Capital Gains and maybe on Non-Doms etc. whilst changing the rules to borrow more. There a realistic risk here, if the tax income does not increase as planned, the very rich can work their way around these increases, and if growth is slow then the cost of borrowing increases as bond rates will go up as confidence is lost in the money markets and we will have a slow burn Liz Truss effect. With all that is happening in the World having some gold makes a lot of sense right now. | |

BBC ring wing are you serious. 90% of BBC journalist and presenters are left wing including the great Lineker who regularly ignores BBC impartiality rules. | |

That money is there for security so they know they can pay for something essential if needed. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not a lot of money. |
Clearly ,trying to be self sufficient doesn’t pay. 16 k savings is nothing | |

It's a lot of money if you don't have it and living on benefits, it's not a lot if you budget and save to try not to burden the state. | | | |

They're not "illegal" immigrants though. They're migrants. Like it or not we've invitied those to come to the UK. It's not their fault we don't have the resources to accomadte them within public services. That's down to the tories and austerity. [Post edited 19 Nov 10:36]

Read the article. "They're contracted with... a private doctors' system," Councillor Evans told residents. "[That's what] my understanding is. It's not a statement of fact. That should mean they won't be putting weight on our local [health services]." "GoToDoc - which said it had been commissioned by the NHS and would not be providing private care." Also, not to be pedantic, but these aren't illegal immigrants. | | | |

You think a lot of these delivery riders are legal? I was in McDonald's Cwmdu a few months ago, and Border control were there, 3 were taken away in a short time. I don't doubt there are some genuine workers, but do you think a lot those at the car wash are paying their tax and ni? | |

No. That's my point. We're attractive to illegal immmigrants because they can easily work illegally not because we give them benefits. | | | |

15 year gilt yields have hit 4.7 percent, we are not far off the level that happened after the Truss budget. If Reeves does not get her expected tax income and growth does not pick up we'll be in a pickle. | |

Our population has increased tremendously since 2001 2001 58 million 2011 63 million 2021 68 million How on earth can and government be it labour or conservation build a city the size of London over 20 years. Unfortunately unlimited migration, be it legal or illegal puts huge strain on our infrastructure including NHS, education and housing. Tony Blair's open door policy to new EU countries, when he could have placed limits within EU Law was a complete disaster | |

But most of them are needed or invited or both. Our services are stretched without a doubt, a greater demand on them with less investment will only end one way, that's as much to do with austerity as immigration. We shouldn't grant visas to people we can't accomadate, | | | |

The problem with your argument is that the majority of immigrants do not make a net fiscal contribution due to low skills and wages. The huge influx of cheap labour has coincided with a fall in per capita productivity because companies have no incentive to seek profit through investing in new technology.. Recent years have seen high levels of public spending, high taxation levels and growing national debt. This means that public investment is constrained by tight public budgets, just as we are seeing now. In terms of the big picture. if living standards are not to fall then the national population must generate enough wealth to finance the necessary infrastructure and services. We can only finance these via borrowing for a limited period. It seems to me that we are already in a situation where living standards are falling. If immigration was the solution then we would be seeing an improvement after five years when total arrivals to the UK have exceeded the present population of Wales. To say we "need "this is to confuse gains via short-term fire-fighting with a steadily worsening long-term position that is unsustainable. [Post edited 13 Dec 20:27]
