Central goverment gives a subsidy to all local councils to top up the revenue from councils tax.
Otherwise it would be a system of feudal estates with the wealthiest estates having the best services. Thats what allowes some semblence of consitant public service from stornoway to bude. its not perfect but neither is it simplistic. |

Don't ask silly questions. If you didn't give the government the sweat off your brow how else would they find all that money to squander?

It is always the way under Labour. Look after your clients. If you aren't a waster or an immigrant then don't bother applying cos you'll get feck all.

Much of the money is spent on immigration control to stop foreigners getting in illegally and stealing benefits. I believe the annual budget for that is as much as £3.26 in some years.

You come accross as a thoughtless individual Big Charlie.
As you use the NHS I'll bet money, that you are taken care of by highly trained Dr's and Consultants that are, as you put it, "imigrants" YOU ARE A RACIST T!T Hth |

By:
I can only assume Larry, that you called yourself a codpiece because you like covering c0cks.
As for stalking you, I think not. You just 'appear' on every vaguely political thread and spout more unnecessary, boring, pointless garbage, as part of some idiotic crusade because you don't have anything else going on in the vacuum between your ears, and although I should know better, I find it difficult to resist pointing out what a tοsser you are. |

BillKiller 16 Jan 18:11 Larry's Codpiece. 16 Jan 18:16 A searing threesome. I think it's best to think of Big Charlie as Chit Chat's Anjem Choudray; denouncing the government on the one hand, but taking money from it with the other. Then he gets banned and reappears in a different guise I'm laughing, God help me :^0 |

Reading the standard of argument of this thread, I have a feeling that should the particpants ever appear in a courtroom together, Big Charlie would be the one putting his points across with patience and sincerity and Orioles would be the one bounding out of his chair to grasp his opponent by the throat.
