To think we shouldn’t have to contribute to soch if we don’t intend to use it?

[slozenger]

For example, I don’t want a state pension - so I should surely be able to opt out of soch based contributions percentage. And just pay a lesser amount to cover anything I do take advantage of.

No, it would not.

i don’t care for urine related toilet humour

Toch!!!

This was my fave. Knew this thread would be fun, thanks OP

Oh please don't take everything so literally. I was agreeing with the pp that we can't pick and choose what we contribute to via our taxes, and I never said I didn't benefit from our health service (I don't live in the UK), merely that I have never used the hospital. If you want to argue with someone why not do so with the OP who is the one who came up with this ridiculous idea.

Thanks OP, I really needed this tonight!
Though I am sort of wondering how come I'm struggling along on minimum wage instead of 75K, when I can spell, understand how NI works, and that there is no such thing as a non NHS user in the UK.

It's not. Did you make it up? I don't know what Soch means.

Thank you op..took me a while😆 Thanks all 😁

😁

Well look, obviously I was born NhS and prob immunized too. But didn’t mean I have to use them when I like to self treat. So

Lifting the two child cap (and removing the rape clause it implies re a third child) would benefit society. More money will be spent on children in shops, cafes etc and children will be properly fed and clothed. It is no benefit to society for children not to be properly fed, clothes and brought up.

The problem with that, you see, is that you'll never know how much you benefited from until the moment you die. Well, after you're dead actually given that the state has to certify your cause of death. So no time to give you the discount.

Personally I am a net contributor at present- pay lots of tax, have no children and am lucky enough to be in good health with private health cover. If that persists until I'm about to die I plan to try to "get my money's worth" by expiring in the most complicated way possible and forcing the state to hold a wide ranging inquest at great public expense. Definitely a jury, lots of expert evidence, site visits to a number of distant locations, ballistics demonstrations... well you get the idea.
It's only fair.

And you can stop being a smartarse.
Lots of us didn't know what soch meant. My google search didn't bring anything up that was relevant to this thread.

Using buzzwords doesn't make you sound very clever.

Sorry?

I was just reflecting back your own language. In the spirit of solidarity of course.

£17k in tax. So that’s about £75k per year.

Well I am already earning more than that. So I am a net contributor. TOUcHE

That sounds like a good idea to be honest I like your train of thought

You said the piss being taken? Urine related humour does nothing for me.

it is vulgarian

I thought it was Sanskrit.

I have to go to sleep now and be a Nod Contributer but this thread has been so much fun! OP you've been a really good sport so I'm awarding you the equivalent of two Freddos rebate on your tax

Really have to go to bed now, but thank you so much to so many of you very clever and witty women. This has cheered me up hugely on this miserable January Tuesday. Hats off to you all

I could say I want to pay for schooling, free childcare, free school meals, or anything else child related as I don’t have kids, I could say I don’t want to pay for adult social care, social workers , civil servants or anything else my taxes pay, but I do because that’s the way it is

If you don’t want the state pension then don’t claim it. But you are still going to have to pay up

Is that like being a fruitarian but more sweary?

Count me in!

Same here. Zzz. Night @skipad, night @BlackCatDiscoClub

Ironically this thread did make me feel part of a society. A society of piss-takers, sure. But a society nonetheless.

What is a synonym for vulgarian?

Synonyms. bawdy boorish crass crude dirty gruff nasty obscene off-color raw ribald rude scatological vulgar.

Coprolites to you too.

Oh because I’m old you call me fossil feaces nice

Well I hope I'm not an eye witness if you ever have a nasty car accident and treat your own broken leg or fractured skull.
