The fact is the doctors are asking for more money than they are worth, the reference to 2008 is a red herring as hardly any of them would’ve been in practice at the time
They do have an argument about training places and the government has to address that

And just how would you suggest the government charge VAT on air travel in and out of U.K. Air travel is universally exempt from VAT
Meals are included in the price of ticket so no VAT
Ever thought why air travel is zero rated but the government levies Air Passenger Duty

So you acknowledge that terrorists could legitimately target you and your family then.
In other words-target indiscriminately

Problem with your ideas is you see them as a bolt-on not as part of a revised tax system.
The Swiss system works well, but the U.K. left will never countenance a low tax on high earners

You appear to have confused the ECtHR with the ECHR
ECHR is enshrined in law through the HRA, U.K. courts apply the ECHR in claims made under the HRA
The question to ask, then, is how many cases from Tribunal to Supreme Court have involved immigration matters. The 13 cases line is a red herring

The press made a big fuss about 2 racially motivated attacks carried out by white men in the past month- do you disagree with this too and regard it as far left agenda?

250,000 Ukrainians?
Predominantly women and children who will return when the war stops
There is your difference.
The people on small boats are unlikely to return, will demand extended family reunion and are predominantly male
Why even raise this?

Or a pro- law and order story?
As many as 400K illegal overstayers?
Britain must be the only major country in the world that doesn’t have passport control on exiting the U.K.

Not watering down human rights - its adjusting it to stop abuses that were not foreseen 75 years ago
Exactly what human rights do you think will be “watered down”
Even human rights campaigners like Starmer and Hermer see the faults - as do other member countries

Not migrants per se but specific people who have mainly arrived on British soil illegally, currently seeking asylum in the UK, being accommodated by the state pending asylum resolution and being allowed to wander around freely and without supervision while their identity remains unverified

We also need immigrants to do jobs that are quite frankly below the British.
Better we Brits go on generous unemployment benefits than do jobs that are only fit for 3rd world migrants
Plus we can pay the migrants less, they will take any crumbs we give them

As usual no real tax policy from these unqualified activists.
If you lot had half a brain you would advocate a wealth tax system similar to the Swiss - the only country where it has worked
But horror of horrors - this would mean a massive reduction in income tax, particularly for high earners

Can every politician vouch for their behaviour when at school?
Can you?
When I was at school being gay was a total slur. We all frowned on homosexuality- one of my close friends is now a cabinet minister
Should I expose his behaviour that occurred 51 years ago and destroy his career

Democracy delayed is democracy denied
A customer complaints, Clark as a Chancellor of the Exchequer
But scrapping jury trials is a good idea
As usual, the left have an excuse for everything.
It’s never their fault but they do manage to exacerbate the situation with consummate ease.

But long overdue given the amount of asylum claims made by those arriving on student visas
