The end of May.

Badges aren't all they're cracked up to be with some it would seem. But I am sure Marco will be happy to bestow you something suitable Steve!

[Marco]

Yeah, I don't care about any of that, I just want a badge. On reflection, I sort of like 'Captain Cackbum' or 'Bog Botherer', but really anything will do. As with most things, I really don't care

Arise Captain Cackburn!

Marco.

Cheers Marco! Can I go now, I really need the toilet

[Marco]

Lol... Press out a nice firm one for me!

Marco.

Cheers Marco! Can I go now, I really need the toilet

Only if you have a ruler handy!

[Marco]

Just don't wipe your arse with the ruler!

I think that a change in thinking is required to get money flowing around the system in a fairer way. Money flowing and people feeling better treated would be a boost to the economy.

There should be a national living allowance which could perhaps be paid for by higher taxes in certain areas. So you pay everyone a set amount and then everything above that is taxed on a proportional scale.

We would need to tackle the closed loops of privileged behaviour. Landowners would be taxed heavily for resting on on all that value. Landlords need to be taxed much more as many of them are plain greedy and take advantage. They take pure advantage so take the money back off them and filter it around

I do want to see upper earnings limits which are then taxed very heavily. I want to see the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share of taxes which they are actually very scared of.

The important things are living in a decent society where everyone feels included to a fair degree. Its not really about owning everything but the powers that be push that upon us and it breeds resentment. Its rip off britain and its broken britain...it needs repairing with a complete rethink. Capitalism is an experiment which lasted around 100 years before it became obvious that it was just benefitting the privileged few...it then naturally started to self destruct as it was flawed and could expand no more

We are essentially spiritual beings and I want to see less anger from the disenfranchised. If they are told that money rules their world they will act up because they dont see opportunities to get some of it. We are all in this together and thats the basis of any government policies.

At the moment the rich get richer and put the gates up. The money doesnt really trickle down and thats the crux of it. you cant have the levels of disparity we now see

I think it could all be paid for with a proper cycle of taxes and spending on what really matters

I think you have hit the nail spot on with that post Martin.

Well, I've lived happily under capitalism all my life on lowly paid jobs and never had money problems. Too many people out there not budgeting properly ,getting into troubles
with these ridiculous credit cards and then blaming everyone else for there ills. Sorry there s always someone that has to disagree with the general thesis and it had to be me
