26th November 2024 – It occurs to me that the notion of ‘taxpayers’ money’ is somehow misleading because it implies some kind of connection and ownership of tax money and the ‘payer’ rather than the complete take over of that money with no ‘say’ by those who have the authority over where this collected money is spent. It’s been an accepted point of principle, an established tradition, that ordinary people pay ‘taxes’ for the common good – for the benefit of the ‘society’ as a whole. And the ‘ordinary people’ for generations have been generally happy, or at least tolerant, of that point of principle on the basis of the ‘collective good’.
But those days are gone when we might think that it’s ‘fair enough’ to contribute for the common good – as we increasingly learn about (with significant horror and disapproval) ‘where’ and ‘to whom’ this money taken from the ordinary folk actually goes. Increasingly it is feeling as if ‘our’ money is being robbed from us unreasonably – and increasingly we note with horror how the ‘government-of-the-day’ is using this money – unaccountably – with little or no oversight – with no choice for the ordinary people to effectively ‘object-and-prevent’ this money-handover – the ordinary people who are struggling under the increasing burden of the many ‘taxes’ we are enforced to hand over.
Arguably, this system needs to change. It is archaic, unaccountable – and presenting as very, very unfair.

‘This isn’t just waste—it’s treasonous. These policies aren’t national; they’re driven by globalist entities like UNESCO. It’s time to ask serious questions about where our money is going and who is really pulling the strings. Even more shocking, between 2017 and 2021, the government gave £203 million to charities actively opposing its policies, such as the Rwanda immigration plan. And it’s not just charities. Quangos are handling £265 billion annually, driving these divisive campaigns.’
