Nick, Alex What is a working man? Someone who sweeps the road? Flips burgers? A supervisor in a call centre? Maybe a cafe owner selling cappuccino to the proletariat? An MD or chairman of a multi national conglomerate? What is your version of a working man? Demanding family? Don't have kids then. Glib phrases like stealth taxes and police state. What is a stealth tax?is it dressed up like a ninja and you ever actually ever see it? Police state? There speaks someone who clearly has never been abroad. The world is changing sometimes for the better sometimes not but no single country an fight the tide of change. It's not the 1960s.
And you talk about ''glib phrases''. Pah. Which bit of sometimes for the better sometimes not didn't you understand? The bit where we are constantly paying more for less just to live. "we" create the change, however the world has changed very much over the last 10-15 years technology means you can't be a country in total isolation unless you're North Korea. Alex seems to be blaming everything and anything. Politicians to having a family. As for paying more for less that is an argument in itself. Something's we pay more for something's we don't. Over recent years we have had as much disposable income as ever. Of course I would like to pay less tax or less for train travel. I'm not saying the world or this country is perfect but going back to Alex's post times have changed, women have full time jobs kids do more and yes fathers have to do more. As a father of two I think that's a good thing. [Link] Edited by Y Ddraig Goch (26 Nov 2015 9.57pm)
