Stupidity at its finest

A quick glance at the front page of the Daily Mail this morning (courtesy of the BBC) shows the banner headline from Sarah Vine: "Does anyone give a fig about all of us hard-working taxpayers whose lives are being wrecked by strikes?"

 

Has the woman not got the brains to figure it out? Is she really trying to tell us that nurses are neither hard-working nor are paying taxes?

How about teachers, ambulance crews, postmen and all the others who have found it necessary to resort to strikes to try to maintain a decent standard of living? They all work hard and they all are liable to pay taxes. Unlike people named Mrs. Sunak or Zahawi. These are people who seem to feel that paying tax is only for the "little people", the great unwashed hordes.

Does the privileged Ms Vine not understand that these workers are sacrificing wages while they are on strike? And when they are not on strike, they are paying their fair share of taxes?

Why is it that this so-called government can claim not to have the funds to pay these strikers a decent living wage, yet are able to dish out billions of pounds, no questions asked, to the most corrupt government in Europe? I wouldn't be surprised to learn one day that these hand outs are going to Kiev in the form of grubby £50 notes via the diplomatic bag.

 

I shall not be reading the article penned by Ms Vine. The odious headline has ensured that!
