My Intent for this Blog

As a University/College Lecturer, who has previously taught in Secondary schools, I ride an emotional roller-coaster on a daily basis. I have decided to post photos or videos here, anything which moves me in some way. In my opinion; music, film, books... they should all evoke emotion of some sort, otherwise they are transient and pointless.

Taxed

Annual Tax Summary 2013-14


Very nice of our government to send me my first ever Annual Tax Summary, showing how my Tax and National Insurance contributions have been spent. Of course, these are not actual figures, just a rough breakdown. Nevertheless, I thought it necessary to determine what each of the sectors listed actually represents.  I have added my interpretation to the image in red text. I think it's fair to say that probably 50% of the spending could have been saved were it not for incompetence, bureaucracy and fraud. While I can accept these as part and parcel of government, I do object to contributing any of my earnings towards killing innocent civilians. Thank You Tony... recent worthy recipient of an award from Save the Children!
