Gills 58 - yeah I’m with you on this one 58 as we have had so many troubles with travellers who just trash areas leaving us all to clear up. They have robbed local communities there have been reported acts of idiot farmers selling land to them and they then cause even more mayhem and the locals have been forced to buy back the land at extortionate costs.
Buddha did you work and pay taxes ?
Yes, I often work and I pay taxes. I've actually spent the last three months working bloody hard. Now I wont work for a while, actually I'm going travelling for a few weeks.
Obviously one tax I don't pay is council tax. But then I don't have an address so it's not really possible for me to.
Of course there are lots of people who do have an address who also don't pay council tax because they are too poor to do so. These people get council tax benefit (or whatever it is called) whereby their tax is paid for out of the welfare budget, which is of course paid for by other tax payers. So don't go picking on me for not paying council tax because I don't claim any welfare benefits (and haven't for over 20 years).
Of course, I could go on the dole, get a place on housing benefit and have the council tax paid for by the benefit system. But I don't, I take care of my own housing, my own income.
There are some state thngs I've taken advantage of, namely education (my son's state schooling) and the nhs (though personally I've not seen a doctor or needed a hospital for about ten years) but over the years I've paid loads of national insurance and income tax.
You might think I'm a free-loading blagger but frankly I don't give a shit because I know that is not true.
