  • 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.

  • I wonder if this would be the case if they didn't include those sweet, sweet final salary pensions...

    It's all moot anyway as we just borrow the money to pay for this shiz

  • PSNBR is only 5-10% of spending in “normal” (ie pre COVID) years so most of it is tax funded.
