    Much of the money is invested, not spent. It may not be a "pot", but to say that it is not floated somewhere to yeild more revenue is misleading.
    None of what I pay in to my 'scheme' goes into a pot.

    Not one penny of it goes into a pot or gets invested anywhere. It is an unfunded scheme. But many local government ones are fully funded and are in surplus.
    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    I don't think you're correct. Councils were putting money collected up front from lump sum council tax payments into savings accounts and paying the bills as and when they came in throughout the year. They weren't investing it and it wasn't pension contributions.

    So this week we saved 20% of the public sector wage bill and the shops were full of bored parents with kids not in school buying crap.

    Sounds pretty good for the economy tbh.

    The question is, what would you do if some bloke walked up to you in the street and tried to stick his dick up your arse? And what if he asked you to pay him for the perceived privilege?

    I'm thinking most of you would punch his lights out. But it's not like that with government. People simply say, yes we definitely need to pay to get raped, "everyone knows that™", but we need to protest about the size of the dick being used. Smaller would be better is the general thinking - although there are also those who beg for something bigger.

    Until we snap out of this blind acceptance of the gang of criminals running the show then every solution is temporary at best and usually engineered for the purposes of misdirection. Hey your shoelaces are undone! Bang goes that dick up your shitter as soon as you bend over.

    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    I was wondering what made my eyes water when I picked up that pound coin.
