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.

Oh ok then. But on a serious note the post has dragged on for days, more people just jumping on to have a pop at an idea. I see it all the time, like a trend to come on and just put a snarky response.

Maybe people wouldn’t have ‘had a pop’, or been ‘snarky’, if you had offered a cogent proposition for discussion.

I mean I’m not sure what the point is of explaining further now? The thread didn’t go down well and that’s not going to change now.

Dullest thread ever. But yep I responded anyway.

I’ll give you credit OP. You posted a stupid idea with words no one has seen, got your arse handed to you, and kept coming back to post with a sense of humour.

In the words of Nessa, fair play.

I’m just appalled at OP’s lack of sympathy for sad donkeys.

What has the world come to when an utter ass can’t look kindly upon its kin.

*palate

Well I’m convinced- Soch won’t see another penny from me!

Yeah man. Shtick it to the soch!

And Soch it to me too.

Maybe the OP wants me to take up painting? PS to OP I don't mean decorating 🙄

Ok who cares what your granny used to use and how old she is. You quite accusatorially stated that people knew exactly what soch meant. No. We don’t. Never heard it. Along with your complete lack of understanding of how taxes work indicate a very parochial viewpoint
