I never gave it, or brexit, any time at all.

And Raab wants us to come back to it in 10 years, when the culprits have fled back to the shires.

Worse than Suez, a trend started and completed by the conservative party.

A glance at a map shows us as a little dot of an island on the edge of europe, once Great Britain.

You will need a microscope to see us in a few years such is the decline.

Its true about the over spend but the point is where would this have got us if the incentive for the manufacturers wasn't there. It was and still is a free for all for supplies, ppe and the population who can get away with it. Im not advocating overspending my money,I'm advocating it was correct to look at health and protection over money. I don't see your criticism of our spend on vaccines and I reckon its because that was money well spent and it actually has and is saving lives. The ppe could and did the same. You and ma have had the jab and I would hazard a guess you would or may have used a supplied mask or hand sanitiser on arrival for said jab. Its hypocritical to then blast the one supplying it. Your point is purely a political one as you have a personal grudge against hmg. Sometimes you have to be more holistic and zoom out and see the bigger picture for certain situations!

So would I cp obviously, its our tax dollars but as I said lives were saved by both the ppe and purchase of the vaccines. Im sure it wasn't 'shared' out intentionally and some other high profile political figures of all colours have benefitted.
Any how im a pipe fitter; a plumber is a pipe fitter with his head kicked in
I said before I don't work for myself I'm a paye building service engineer looking after offices,schools, gyms,big residential sites etc. Mainly boilers (some as big as a car and bigger) and associated plant so I don't benefit from cash jobs im afraid!
I should do though as there is dough to be earned and im good, I always wanted the security though what with a family and as paye I get sick pay, holiday pay, pension and a van and tools.
Whats not to like when someone else has to find my work

The claw back being legitimate if its been claimed fraudulently which you must agree is correct. Tax rises are inevitable and unavoidable though. Spending on this c19 has been huge even without the
'Wasted' as you say and i have some agreement;money on ppe and track and trace. Albeit only about 10% of the spend.
