15th April 2026: The constant, ongoing waste of presumably ‘tax payers’ money’ on a wide variety of projects past and current is so frustrating. I’m probably like many ordinary citizens that happily contribute some taxes for our country’s communities and for the ‘greater good’ (as it were) – but it has reached the point where I despair and certainly begrudge where so much of our tax money is squandered one way or another. (Don’t get me started on ‘Net Zero’ and bulging immigration and illegal immigration!) So many of us now feel we are being dramatically and unreasonably over-taxed with no reduction or end in sight of this draining multi-tax burden.
Josh Hunt flags up some examples of the ‘appalling mess’ of wasted millions – read the whole post here:
‘The British government has wasted more money on failed projects than some countries spend building their entire infrastructure.
After hearing about the cancellation of the Stonehenge Tunnel project, yet it still racking up £179 million in cost, I wanted to look at other projects and costs to see what the picture looks like this century.
Every number here comes from official reports, the National Audit Office, parliamentary committees, and ministers’ own admissions.
Let me show you where your money has gone.’

In the UK, David Davis MP impresses me with his efforts to hold the Government – and others – to account. Rather than me flagging up specific examples, I thought it would be a good idea to provide a link direct to his X account so you can check out the range of his work – including the sub stack he now writes for:
