I suppose if you work hard for a living and pay eye-watering amounts of tax and national insurance, you feel like you could do with a holiday abroad and enjoy the nice climate, good food and fair prices of things now and again? 

Who do you think you're conning with a statement like that ?        Don't insult our intelligence.      "Work hard for a living"   that's a favourite Tory quote despite most of them being idle sods.

Loads of people work hard for a living and I worked hard for a living before I retired.   I also paid my share of taxes and still do but I don't need a holiday to get over the shock.

Other people pay their taxes too and there's no such thing as eye watering taxes   -   if you pay a lot of tax,  you've got a lot of money left and no worries.

Working hard and paying taxes is what everyone should do and most actually do.  Working and paying taxes is not the right to kill the planet.

Stop pretending you're high rollers.    You've got your heads in The Guardian most of the time and,  you can barely manage to write a decent post on here.

Unfortunately, those two statements are incompatible

I think this will become increasingly common in the future. Though to be fair IIRC Britain's contribution to the global warming catastrophe is miniscule when compared with China and India. 

Speaking of global warming, anyone catch this news story this week?

Imagine getting severe burns from walking on the pavement 

Fair enough, but most people tend to forget that China was the only country to try and do something about overpopulation which is the main cause of the problem.

 I hope all are safe, but no sympathy at all for the trashed holiday.  These same people will get home and blame the government for not doing enough. 

 

Will they? Where?

Better explain why then.

Which is it you have problems with,             working hard     or    paying taxes  ???????????

 

What's incompatible to you is down to your weird way of thinking and,  of using the English language so that words change their meaning.

I have managed for donkey's years to work hard,  and pay my taxes and,  any holidays I have  taken,  have been within 120 miles of where I live.

I have never left this country  neither by sea or air.   When people say they  MUST, have holidays abroad,   they really mean that they   WANT   to have holidays abroad.

Climate change and war will deal with over population.

The biggest problem will be finding somewhere dry to live, and somewhere to produce food when all the seasons have gone haywire.

I sure am and was always very popular as an entertainer.

How would you entertain a large room full of people ?  probably by telling the kind of  kid's playground jokes you come up with on here..

However Parties don't ruin the planet like foreign holidays so I don't see the connection.

As usual,  no comment from you about the subject of the thread.   Just your usual kids stuff sabotage which doesn't work amyway.

Grow up lad

more work, more tax, more waste, more children, more consumption, more CO2.

 

How do you heat your home

No answer to my last question then.  You probably dislike work as much as you dislike paying taxes.  I told you Tories were idle.

Any excuse will do for a fool like you.  get real for a change.

How does everybody heat their homes whilst we wait for this dozy tory government  to make changes to how we do things.

They were warned about climate change 30 years ago and none of the politicians' and very few of the public did anything.

Now,  everybody wants to make excuses such as you're doing.

How's silly Sunak doing with his 5 pledges ??? not at all well, I hear.
