It's getting worse. Something must have fallen on Rutte's head... Rutte asks EU countries to cut pensions and social services for citizens. "I know that spending more on defence means spending less on other priorities. But it's just a little bit less. On average, European countries easily spend up... show more

Preserving our way of life? Is this cunt on fucking drugs? European countries are being flooded with every black and brown beast dug out of the sewers of foreign countries. How do they help preserve anything? Answer is they fucking don't.

Fuck Rutte and NATO

People who can’t see what the military industrial complex is doing are a danger to society. The politicians want to steal money where they can and launder back to themselves. They get richer and we get poorer. Wake up!

There is hardly any money left in the Pension funds ... that's why the Mrna gene therapy shots with high mortality among the old where introduced ... Rutte himself plundered the Dutch blind , these WEF puppets needs to be disposed as soon as possible across Europe and rest of the world , it's the CO2 we can do without .......and then build back better 😊

He wants to arm NATO to the teeth to attack Russia, the desperation to steal Russian resources is because Western Europe is on the point of financial collapse because they have already got themselves into a debt trap due by betting everything on Ukraine and losing.

European leaders have come unhinged. But I sincerely think that it isn't a European thing. The people are based, but the leadership has been brainwashed. 🤯

Am I hearing correct? Ask nations to cut spending in pensions and social services? Incredible. How about cutting (just a small amount) in EU burocracy?

These WEF clowns are unbelievable. They keep throwing out billions on things that not only don't help the people but endanger them directly (nato expansion / inviting migrants / destroying the energy and farming sectors). And they always want more power and money!

Records speak for themselves. The Conservatives cut Canada's defence spending to less than 1% of GDP—the lowest in decades. Our government has more than doubled defence spending and we've committed to spend 2% of our GDP on defence by 2032, and are on track to do so.

We can prevent the next big war on #NATO territory and preserve our way of life. This requires us all to be faster and fiercer. It is time to shift to a wartime mindset. And turbo-charge our defence production and defence spending.

We are now spending five times more on welfare than on defence. This must change! The Conservatives will bring back the two-child benefit cap and use the money for defence. The security of the United Kingdom is our priority, and we have a plan for a stronger country.

A society which puts a higher value on state handouts to its able-bodied citizens than on measures to protect those citizens from internal crime and external threats, is one which risks becoming decadent. Such decadence is itself a standing invitation to other states more barbarous and more self-confident than us to chance their luck. I would say that defence has been cut back too far in our Western countries. Combined with a lack of resolution among some Western leaders, this is giving the wrong signs to dubious political figures in the ex-Communist world and dangerous exponents of force in the Islamic world. This is not unconnected with the social malaise that is affecting our countries, where we see family breakdown, rising crime, and a huge dependency culture. We have to get our priorities in taxation, in spending programmes, and in wider social policy back in line.

The European Parliament just voted to burn yet more public money on "security & defence." Appalling! The security we demand is the security of a decent job & a place to live. The defence we want is a defence of our rights. We reject a Europe that robs from the poor to bankroll slaughter.

Mass Immigration through EU Enlargement! On 21 July 2025, the Minister of State for European Affairs and Defence, Thomas Byrne, confirmed that he intended to travel to Albania and Montenegro between 21 and 25 July, to, in his words: “promote the EU's enlargement agenda” Which would see the EU admit both Albania and Montenegro into the European Union, which would mean that the citizens of both countries would automatically have the right to live and work in Ireland on a permanent basis, and which would naturally have a detrimental impact on small countries like Ireland, as we become a destination of choice due to our soft social welfare system and pro migrant laws and policies.

Speaking at Davos, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defends Donald Trump's tariff strategy, arguing that Europe and Canada underfunded defence for decades—choosing to prioritise social welfare instead—while the U.S. absorbed the cost. "They got a lot of catch-up to do." "The United States of America, since 1980, has... spent 22 trillion more dollars on defence than all of NATO." "Europeans have been spending the money on social welfare... and it's time for them to pay more."

Phillip: Half of those countries that you see on that list—their citizens can't come to the US. We have found those countries to be so unreliable and risky that we won't let their citizens even get a visa but they’re on a board of peace?

Zack Polanski, "It's a tax on assets of 1% on £10m+ or 2% on £1 billion+" "The most obvious win here is to bring Capital Gains Tax in line with Income Tax" "The reason why that's important is right now we tax earned income more than we tax unearned wealth" "If you're a cleaner, you could be paying more tax than the person who owns the building that you're cleaning" "It's completely absurd. It's a political choice. We can make different political choices" "When Ruth said it's difficult to find wealth, that there are practical challenges, so let's spend more money on HMRC" "We keep underspending on the NHS, it shouldn't be a surprise we have a sick population" "So yes, spend money up front on public infrastructure, on our services, but we're getting that money back, in terms of a much better economy and a healthier population" "It's outrageous that we would have any more spending cuts" "People in this country are tired and exhausted" "They see the cost of living raised and they're not seeing their wages go with it" "We have wealth in this country that we can redistribute" "So the idea that people who are already struggling, as a result of political decisions and consequences of the past decade, are going to have to suffer another round of cuts" "It's not a surprise to me when Nigel Farage talks about connecting with people's fear and anger, that's he doing so well" "Of course I say this because Reform UK's solutions will make things even worse" "That's why the Greens are doing so well right now, we're offering hope and some practical solutions" "To say we don't need to cut spending and actually we need to tax the wealthier in our country more and invest in public services"

We've spent more and more on education as the results have gotten worse and worse. Our schools have fallen far behind other countries. When it comes to the politics of education, it's rarely about the kids.

Our armed forces are poorly paid. They are denied the equipment, the stores, the back-up and the training that they know are vital to the job they do. Worse, they see the anti-Western wing of the Labour Party calling for still more gigantic cuts in defence, which a former Labour Defence Secretary said would mean at best 'neutrality', at worst 'surrender'. We have a government that neglects our defences. A government that lets down NATO so badly that our allies have rebuked it publicly. A government which spends money on nationalisation while cutting spending on the defence of the realm. As I promised President Carter last month, the next Conservative government will give defence the high priority that it demands. The Conservative government will see that our troops are properly paid, increase defence spending so that we meet our obligations to our allies, and by strengthening the defence of the West, restore the morale of our fighting services. Let us not forget: our first duty to freedom is to defend our own.

As an MP, I take every opportunity to make the case for a sustained uplift in how much we spend on the defence of our nation. In last week's parliamentary debate on defence spending and readiness, I called on the Prime Minister to cement his legacy leaving office by adequately funding defence.

"It's a designed "loop trap" – a system that keeps you bleeding and wasting money on things you never agreed to.
