I have never mentioned ‘throwing money at everything willy nilly’ and that has never been my suggestion.
I not really saying you are, but the Greens / Labour seem to be suggesting it.
We can all talk of tax rises, but seeing as we already pay record tax levels now, when you talk about happy to pay more tax, alot of folks twitch.

MORE TAX MAYBE, BUT MASSIVE CUTS ARE ALSO NEEDED, to make the pot of money go around.
We have a lot of departments in this country, who are not productive and wasteful at the same time.

I want tax money spent here on us. Not sent abroad, nor frittered away on incoming immigration.

My sister was emigrating to New Zealand with the family, and it was shocking to realise what YOU WOULD NOT GET for 5 years.
From housing help/ Medical/ Benefits/ absolute zero. you even had to have a pot of money set up, for your flight home, should you loose your job.
Is that applied here? yearh right.

Tax, no problem from me, if it means the belt is tightened and the leaking pipes are fixed that syphon off what we thrown in.
