AIBU to say that I have had enough of this government and Its grabby supporters.

[Ihavehadenough1345]

I have name changed for this and am prepared for the pile on, backlash, kicking I am going to get but I have had enough!

My tax bill was £80,000 this year. I am self employed. I pay £16,000 a year in VAT. I have a valuable asset. I own my own home.
no mortgage. I have worked bloody hard. No inheritance, no Oxbridge, no privilege and no luck!

I pay for private school for 2 DC.

I am asset rich, cash poor. I have enough money to pay all of my bills, no debt, I’m not extravagant. If you met me you wouldn’t know my financial situation. I am normal.

But my tax contribution is not enough for this government and its supporters.

I read all of the posts of all of the threads regarding VAT on school fees, UC, the cost
of living crisis and on and on and on!

I have had enough.

And I do not need therapy and I do not have ADHD or bipolar.

Let the games begin!

Some points -
Autism isn't a 'sick mind' fgs. Although the issues caused by being ND in a NT world can certainly cause mental health issues.
People can be on benefits and work.
People can claim carers allowance and still work, although that work is limited.

And to the person who said work is good for mental health, that's only the case with supportive, reasonable employers. Bad employers do not help improve mental health, and can cause poor mental health.

What's needed is functioning mental health services that can see people in a timely fashion!

Your completely right. Those who take in society have taken to the point where it is breaking down. It cannot be right that so people just sponge off the state and the hard work of people like you, then expect you to grateful that you live in this country with them. It's time for a rebase. If you can afford the latest iphone you don't need state charity, if you can afford to go on holiday you don't need state charity. It makes we so cross. I fear we have crossed the point where there are no so many turkeys voting we won't be able to get out of it.

DS trained in a trade. Despite coming top of his year in the level 2 course and wanting to do the level 3, everything changed and he needed both a Maths and an English GCSE to do level 3.

He was told he couldn’t even do the course he had just completed with a near perfect score

College ended up closing because they couldn’t get anyone who wanted to do a trade and had the qualifications.

I have got a friend who can’t do a course to widen her knowledge in a particular area of her business because she doesn’t have a maths GCSE

Patronising woman at the college on the open evening said she should look at doing something that didn’t require qualifications as she wouldn’t cope with all she had to learn.

Imagine telling a chef they should get a job as a waiter because they are never going to be able to do the course in how to make sushi if they haven’t got their maths GCSE

You can be very intelligent speak well and be able to read and write legible instructions as well as plaster a house or make a staircase from scratch and not have an English or maths GCSE

The really odd thing is that if you go abroad you can get the qualification and then be able to work in the UK
