Businesses in Midway have had it
tough in recent years, with the pandemic and soaring utility bills among the
challenges crippling small traders across the county.
And from next month they face
the impact of a punishing tax hike which one pub boss says will be “worse than
Covid” – with everyone reduced to poverty, businesses going bankrupt, mass
starvation, the collapse of civil society….the Four Horsemen ride forth…..the
Kraken Rises…..the seas boil….the skies rain blood….as Simon Goebbels reports…
In her first Budget in October, evil
Labo*r Chancellor R*chel Re*ves delivered a series of bombshells that “pulled
the carpet from under” businesses across Kent. And we’re still ranting on
about it now.
 |
| Evil chancellor R*chel Re*ves |
Not content with condemning
millions of UK pensioners to a freezing death this winter by restricting the
Winter Fuel Allowance only to those on pension credit, “R*chel from Accounts”
also raised the minimum wage by an unsupportable 77p an hour, forcing
businesses to pay their staff something like a living wage.
And in the final death knell for
all businesses across the UK,
she revealed a catastrophic 1.2% hike in the amount employers would pay in
National Insurance contributions (NICs) from 1st April, from 13.8% to 15%.
That’s only slightly less than
what Tory chancellor Rishi Sunak put it up to in his April budget in 2022.
But that was the shrewd move of
a Tory chancellor faced with a difficult economic situation, so we didn’t say a
word against it.
By contrast, this identical NIC
hike is the work of a Labo*r Chancellor and so must be a typical evil socialist
incompetent mishandling of the UK
economy that we are going to screech and whine from the rooftops about.
For Sir
Martin Timm, the multi-millionaire Brexit hero whose Weatherforks national
pub chain has hundreds of branches across the UK (and eight in the Midway area), it
will add an extra £70,000 a week to his company’s wage bill.
“It is bonkers for a little family-owned
national mega-pub company like mine,” he said. “I think it's going to be worse
than Covid. At least, for my staff it will be.”
“We only had a £2 billion turnover
last year and a measly £70 million profit, even after we paid £15 million to
our shareholders.”
 |
| Sir Martin Timm: "Bonkers"... |
“Our shareholders won’t want a
reduction in their earnings, and our Directors and executives certainly don’t.
And as my family are majority shareholders, we don’t plan to be taking a financial
hit either.”
“So it’s back to the good old
standbys of hiking prices, reducing quality, slashing maintenance budgets and
firing staff. The staff can all go and get
jobs in Tesco’s again, just like they had to when we shut down for Covid.”
“We were going to do all that
anyway,” laughed Sir Timm, “but now we can blame Labo*r’s budget for it!”
"As for Re*ves lowering the threshold for employer NIC contributions from £9500 to £5000, that's great news for us. It means all the small pubs will struggle to afford the part-time staff they rely on and will go out of business. That'll wipe out our competition. Who says Labo*r isn't big-business friendly?"
But how will the increase impact
you, if you’re not an employer?
Well, to make up the extra money
now needed, we can expect prices to rise, the cost of services to increase,
more uncertainty in our workplaces, a slowdown in recruitment and a slamming on
the brakes of investment and expansion plans….. mass unemployment… soup
kitchens….two-day working week….rotating power cuts….The Great
Depression….Buddy Can You Spare A Dime….Bring Out Your Dead….War, Famine,
Pestilence….we’re all doooooooooooomed….
What this country needs is a true
Tory tax-cutting budget that we can praise from the rooftops until it all
goes wrong, not an evil Labo*r raid on businesses that we can screechy shouty
shrieky whine whine whiny whine on and on about as part of our campaign to
throw as much shit at our democratically-elected government as we can until the
next general election, so we can get a proper bunch of right-wingers in.
In short, we will all feel the
impact of evil Chancellor R*chel from Accounts Re*ves. The question is, if
further cuts are in the offing, just how seismic will that be?
We spoke to another
Tory-supporting local businessman, Matthew Yapper.
 |
| Matthew Yapper; "Ridiculous"... |
“We’ve recently had to
close
our restaurant, because our business plan to charge
London prices for a venue in a run-down part
of Chattingham was an obvious non-starter,” he explains.
“But that’s clearly the fault of
evil Labo*r Chancellor R*chel Re*ves and her ridiculous rise in employer NIC
contributions, national minimum wage, statutory sick pay and VAT on private
school fees.”
“It’s just ridiculous, expecting
employers to stump up for woke rubbish like worker’s pensions, decent wages and
sick pay.”
“We need to return to proper UK
Victorian values. Bring back workhouses, smallpox, rickets and little children
going up chimneys, that’s what I say.”
“That’s what made this country
great….”
One local businessman is less
concerned about this disastrous Labo*r budget, however.
Steve Nimble runs MicroStrad, a
specialist company that makes really small violins, and says that business is booming.
 |
| Microstrad: "Screechy"... |
“Our product is the perfect
accompaniment to all of the sob stories rich Tory businessmen have been coming
out with since the IHT changes were announced," he said.
“Our really tiny violins are
just flying off the shelves.”
“I have a couple of full-time
employees, but I don’t have a problem with the NIC tax rise. We’ve got to start
raising taxes somewhere, in order to pay for 14 years of the Tories running the
country down.”
“If this was a Tory tax rise I’m
sure you wouldn’t be seeing all these screechy headlines in the right-wing
press…”
And that wasn’t what we wanted
to hear, so we stopped talking to Mr. bloody leftie Nimble.
The voices raising concerns have
so far met with little government compromise.
Evil Chancellor R*chel from
Accounts Re*ves took a break from lying about her CV to say that she hopes the government will “never have to
deliver a Budget like this again” before going on to admit that “it’s not going
to be easy for businesses”.
She added: “We made a commitment
during the general election that we wouldn’t increase taxes on working people,
because we know the shrieking right-wing press would have a field day with it
if we did.”
“But they’re going to slag us
off no matter what we do, so we might as well start taxing greedy rich bastards
like they expected us to.”
“Trouble is, that’s really hard
work. The bastards have got their tentacles everywhere and if we start trying
to claw some of the money back they’ve bled out of the country over the last 15
years, they’ll just crash the stock market and screw us over.”
“So it’s back to taxing the
poor, just like UK
governments always do these days…
In
the
real world, a good old rant about “Rachel From Accounts” and all her works is
guaranteed to be solid-gold click-bait. And sure enough, the regular comments trolls
were all over it, with the same old sneers, lies and insults. Ah, bless ‘em…

As a small family business owner this NIC hike is going to cost my company

Where do I find the extra money? Put my prices up? Thankfully the extra trade

up the pennies. Labo*r, A bunch of lying, thieving envious bastards. I’m just
trying to earn a wage for me and my family, not rake in millions. As I try to

You reveal yourself as yet another Tory troll with the comment “Thankfully the
