I'm well.under that, is there stuff I can claim? Never looked into it tbh.
Sadly not. The point is that the average cost per person of public services (NHS, pensions, schools, roads, etc) is higher than what the average earner pays in tax, so it's a nonsense for the EE customer service worker to complain about her taxes subsidising others.

You should remind her that you need to earn £40-50k to be a net contributor to the Exchequer... Alternatively she could quit her job and live on benefits over the winter if it's so cushty.
