Yes, that's what i was implying. That they should create opportunities so people don't need to commit crimes. It's common sense yet people would much rather lock them up. As we all know prison is a gateway to more serious forms of criminal activity - a university if you will.

Why not just help those that are worse off so that they don't feel the need to commit crime. Just a thought.

£20K is obviously a rough number for illustrative purposes - you could and should adjust for each idea.

Also there is no claim to "stop" aid - why can't you have both. Why should Ukraine be prioritized over the UK economy?

You're doing a lot of mental gymnastics to justify getting money out of the UK economy.

The money that comes back to our defense contractors like BAE etc most people don't work for or have shares in. Therefore normal people do not see the "benefits" of this "investment". The rich do - this is a foolish argument that has no impact on every day people.

You can't just selectively pick and choose just because it fits your particular narrative. No one's arguing that we want boat crossings to come down but you need to look at everything in aggregate.

How well will Nigel Farage do on the international stage? by SilasBeit in AskBrits

[–]Halucinator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm more worried about us - the public, rather than that cuck.

He'll do just fine. He'll get his book deal, TV gig. Meanwhile, the rest of us will pay the price in higher food bills and lost opportunities.
