My taxes @ work?!?! [View all]
I pay a lot in taxes. FOR THIS:
Operation Protect Trump: 10,000 police and SAS will guard the President as he visits Blenheim Palace, meets Theresa May at Chequers and the Queen at Windsor while first lady Melania visits a children's hospital

I am a net contributor. I pay more in tax than I will ever get back and as a progressive I am very happy to do so. NHS, Schools, streets, etc etc I am there. TBH I wince slightly when I look at my pay slip, who doesn't? But what I pay is OK with me. At least it was until I saw this headline. WHY THE FUCK should my hard earned tax money pay to protect for your freak of President???
Just sayin'
