[Brighton] Potholes

[Washie]

there Are too many people not working in this country, millions just find it easier not to work and claim benefits,
more people work more money in the pot ,
can start by kicking people out of have no legal right to be here

You do realise how much that would cost right? The man hunt, the legal checks to ensure they're not here legally, the court cases. Probably cost less to give them benefits.

Maybe if we didn’t live in such an extreme wealth society or indeed global more people wouldn’t need benefits? Increasingly even the middle class cannot get by without claiming eg child etc. Then there’s tax evasion by the super rich including our very own PM, and corporations like Amazon who have also decimated the ‘pot’ by destroying other businesses that once paid into as well as not paying their fair share. I prefer to target them first, then we can ‘have a go’ at people starving and living in slum housing etc for needing tax payers money to eek out an existence and being less fortunate than you and I.

Why should car owners be excused the tax? They're the ones causing the pot holes.

Car users already pay £100/£200/+ Road Tax per vehicle per year !!!!! along with fuel duty.

Use it to Get Them Filled.

That doesn't sound much. That's probably the issue

Road Tax raises £7 billion per year. Fuel Tax another £33 billion.

There is enough in the pot to fix the holes.

What about all the other road and traffic costs?

We even had a pothole appear in a pavement near us. A resident put a big yellow towel in it as a warning and got the council to inspect it, which they did and just left it for Ron (later on).
