Thank you. I’m grateful if you take the time to read it, very grateful. I really try to put forward solutions but most people don’t want to hear them.
As I said earlier in the thread I am not affiliated with any political ideology or party, I’m a facts and evidence person and desperately want the UK to implement some evidence-based policy based on what we know works because it’s already tried and tested in other countries. It’s insane for us to refuse to do this and continue down our path with models of services and taxation that we know will make us all poorer.
I am so sorry for the tragedies in your family. Mine are suffering similar things so I do empathise. There are ways that we can be fair (in a reasonable sense of the word, which doesn’t mean redistributing everyone’s money to others) and also create a functional society so nobody has to live in poverty and there is some sense of social cohesion again, but this requires big structural changes that I fear nobody will implement until it’s too late.
I must go and be with my children now. I hope you have a nice evening and thank you for the courteous responses: I’m happy to debate any topic with anybody and exchange views and reconsider my position if they have more data or another idea to put forward, but there’s been not much of that on this thread at all, just insults flying around against anybody certain posters don’t agree with yet them adding nothing to the discussion and proposing no solutions themselves.
I would be interested to hear your thoughts when you do have time to consider my post about what I would do if I was the Government, which I was pressed to provide, as I am always looking for new perspectives or flaws in ideas in order to make them better.
