55% Of GDP To Pay For £850 Billion Of Socialism A Year

Let's say you make £25,600 a year as your salary. Of that, your wife arbitrarily takes £12,300 for herself, or she will divorce you. You have a family credit card with an outstanding balance of £29,000 which racks up £1,050 of interest a year at 3.6%. Your salary isn't increasing at all, in fact it's staying the same and may even drop.

Of the £12k you give the wife, – which is the highest she has demanded from you in 80 years since an armed conflict engulfed the area – she spends £2,200 of it paying for your mother-in-law's never-ending surgeries; gives away £3,600 in charity to other people; wastes another £2,000 or so on lawyers; and sends £1,500 to the local school. She's going to borrow another £1,500 every year, without stopping any time soon, just for herself. The remainder she is meant to spend on the house has ended up with rotten walls, clogged piping, and feral spoilt kids.

And now she is actively talking about capping your spending and applying more deductions if you get a bonus or your salary increases, because you make all the money. Now imagine she pays an armed security force, who will lock you in the shed and starve you unless you agree to an imaginary "contract" you don't remember signing. And to top it all off, it's not enough money anyway so she's advertising for strangers to come into your house to supplant you.

Missing British Common Sense

As a nation of shopkeepers, infamously, what would the people in a pub tell him? Anyone in their right mind would tell the poor guy to get a divorce if he couldn't talk basic sense into her.

His wife is spending 70% of his money on absolute garbage, while she borrows more every year to make sure she can still afford the same amount of spending on the same garbage. Her theory is if you give people money for free, nobody will need money anymore, houses will be built by themselves, and everyone will be magically equal without needing any incentive to do any of it.

He'd be shouted at by everyone he met saying the same things:

1. Stop borrowing money you don't have, and can't pay back.
2. Shut that door and stop inviting strangers in.
3. Refinance and pay down the credit card as soon as you can, and prioritise it.
4. Stop spending money on lawyers and desk-jobbers to produce garbage.
5. Stop giving money away until you have a surplus where you can afford it.
6. Fix the damn house or no more money.

Yet this is the situation we find ourselves in, along with a Chancellor who cries in Parliament and a market which is charging higher rates because it thinks the chance of never being paid back is getting worse. Even if the IMF step in and demand cuts of $100 billion or more.

If you're still unclear about why any of this has happened, Britain is taxing its people to death, importing infinity feral migrants, and borrowing like a drunk spinster, because she is unable to pay the bills for her own ever-increasing welfare state.

The feral hoards of "doctors and engineer" rapists she is letting through the gates in the name of "human rights" are chain-migrating to parasitise the same welfare system they are supposed to be there to support, while pillaging the natives.

The socialist state keeps getting bigger because the civil service controls the bureaucracy and politicians, requiring more productivity to support socialism. Thanks to the inherent stupidity of socialism, the per-capita productivity needed to sustain it has been decimated in the same way it has been wrecked in every magical-thinking socialist project since this egalitarian religion was dreamt up.

Since WWII, the Treasury's theory has been more population means more GDP. The only thing they can think of is to let in as many people as possible, and tax those left into penury – so the state can continue to stay the same size and then get bigger.

Auditing The Wife's Books

Back to the wife, Of his 12k wartime-level donation from his salary, she wife dedicates 25% to charity. She insists most of this goes to deserving pensioners, and £1,749 does indeed give the grandparents an allowance to waste at the bookies. Fair enough. The problem is the remaining £1,411, which funds a comprehensive system of incentives designed to discourage productivity and reward indolence.

Freebies alone consume £830 of his earnings, supporting people who've discovered the free checks pay better than most jobs, particularly once you factor in free rent, free doctors, and the considerable benefit of not having to wake up early or deal with unreasonable managers. Charity for the disabled takes another £753, a sum growing faster than the population of disabled people, which is either a remarkable coincidence or suggests disability has become rather more profitable than it used to be. Paying other people's rent consumes £353, handing cash to private landlords so people needn't endure the terrible hardship of living within their means.

Paying layabouts not to find jobs gobbles up £1,412 of his salary whilst he's actually working to fund it. His wife has created a system where productivity is systematically punished and dependency systematically rewarded. It's rather like paying your neighbour's mortgage while he spends his days in the pub explaining why society owes him a living wage for the demanding job of existing.

And if that wasn't bad enough she likes to send £75 per year to various international organisations, funding global bureaucrats who enjoy more comfortable lifestyles than he does whilst lecturing you about inequality. These talking shops employ thousands of office workers whose primary qualification appears to be an advanced degree in spending other people's money on worthy causes. Because apparently British taxpayers haven't suffered sufficiently; we must also ensure comfortable retirements for UN functionaries whose greatest achievement is organising conferences about organising conferences.

The socialist logic is impeccable: take money from people who work, give it to people who don't, then express genuine bewilderment when you run out of money and fewer people want to work.

When the system inevitably starts failing, the solution is obviously more of the same, because socialism hasn't failed, it's simply never been properly funded.

£2,005 On Unhealthy People

The crown jewel of his wife's spending addiction is the £2,005 she dedicates annually to local hospitals, the monument local commentators describe as "the envy of the world" whilst quietly using private healthcare themselves. This makes it one of the area's largest employers, with more staff than most countries have citizens, all theoretically dedicated to keeping you alive and healthy.

For his £2k pissed up the wall, he receives the privilege of joining 1608 other people at A&E, where he can experience the joy of camping overnight for the honour of waiting eight hours to see a nurse who might refer him to a doctor who might schedule an appointment for six months hence. The system processes 3700 appointments annually, yet somehow he still can't obtain one when he actually needs medical attention. It's rather like a customer service system which handles 370 million calls but never actually helps anyone.

His wife is particularly excited about spaffing £100 of his money annually on hospital "technology and digital transformation" who still use fax. Meanwhile, these same hospitals built during Harold Wilson's premiership continue standing upright through a combination of scaffolding, prayer, and the sheer bloody-mindedness of maintenance staff who perform miracles with string and sticky tape.

Nothing says "free healthcare" quite like being among the area's highest-taxed citizens to fund a hospital which ranks somewhere between adequate and catastrophic depending on whether you're a politician or a peasant. The hospital has evolved into a vast jobs programme masquerading as medicine, where employing 1370 people to shuffle paperwork takes priority over actually treating patients.

Suggesting perhaps allowing people to choose their own healthcare providers might improve things gets him called a heartless monster who wants poor people to die in gutters. Socialism cannot fail, it can only be failed by insufficient funding and his selfish reluctance to hand over even more of his salary.

603 Ways to Waste Your Money

His wife has established her own network of secretaries consisting of 603 offices, staffed by people you've never heard of, doing jobs nobody can explain, with powers nobody voted for. They munch £3,436 of his £12,300 salary, which exceeds what he contributes to health and education combined. She has hired 603 different consultants to manage the house, each with their own budget and none with any actual responsibility for the results.

Donations to pointless offices include such essential organisations as the Electricity Settlements Company, whose job involves settling electricity in ways which remain mysterious; Flood Re, which re-floods things that have been unflooded; Great British Energy, which is neither great, British, nor producing energy; and the Incubator for Artificial Intelligence, which wants to create robots to replace the humans the government is already paying to do nothing productive.

There's the Infected Blood Compensation Authority, compensating people she infected; the Queen Elizabeth Memorial Committee, memorialising the Queen by committee; and the Regulatory Horizons Council, which regulates... regulators. The Traffic Commissioner manages traffic which doesn't move, the Rail Regulator regulates trains which don't run, and her Office for Value for Money studies why nothing delivers value for money whilst costing an enormous amount of money.

These 603 offices exist because his wife has discovered every problem can be solved by creating a new group of HR non-jobs to study it. Can't fix the railway station? Create the Office for Rail Regulation. Can't improve buses? Establish the Traffic Commissioner. Can't actually fix anything? Found the Office for Value for Money to investigate why nothing gets fixed. The genius is these jobs operate at "arm's length" from either of them, virtually in secret, meaning when they inevitably fail, his wife can claim it's nothing to do with her.

Education: The Comprehensive Catastrophe

His wife "redistributes" £1,108 of his earnings to schools, yet somehow the children emerge from school unable to read fluently, write coherently, or perform basic arithmetic. The core school budget alone costs more than most countries' entire gross domestic product, spent teaching children feelings matter more than facts and everyone deserves prizes regardless of achievement or effort.

Big on her list is Special Educational Needs, consuming £100 of the £230 school budget increase. This isn't because the local kids have suddenly become more disabled, but because half of them have been mysteriously diagnosed as "neurodivergent" and requiring special support. It's remarkable how many learning difficulties manifested precisely when it became financially beneficial to diagnose them. Modern local kids apparently suffer from an epidemic of conditions which didn't exist when their grandparents walked five miles to school uphill both ways.

Then there's the teacher shortage. This might be related to teaching, like policing, having evolved from education into a socialist combination of social work, therapy, and political indoctrination. When teachers spend more time on "wellbeing seminars" and "diversity training" than actual instruction, it's hardly surprising intelligent people seek employment elsewhere.

School spending per pupil has returned to 2010 levels, which sounds impressive until you remember 2010 was fifteen years ago and there's been considerable inflation since then. It's rather like boasting your salary has returned to 2010 levels: technically accurate but practically useless. The comprehensive system was supposedly designed to create socialist equality, and it has succeeded admirably by ensuring equally shit results for everyone except the children of politicians, who mysteriously attend private schools or live in the catchment areas of the few remaining decent comprehensives.

His wife's solution to educational failure is invariably more funding for the same broken system, because obviously the problem isn't comprehensive education itself but insufficient resources. Like socialism generally, comprehensive schooling cannot fail, it can only be failed by inadequate investment and the selfishness of parents who want their children to receive decent educations.

A Truly Spectacular Spending Addiction

But the routine waste pales compared to his wife's talent for truly spectacular failures. Take the local rail junction, her favourite vanity project: originally budgeted at £375, it's now estimated to cost over £1,000 and might not be finished until the late 2030s. For this princely sum, she's building a crossroads which will save commuters perhaps thirty minutes whilst costing more per mile than most countries spend on their entire transport systems. The route has been cut in half, the stations redesigned multiple times, and her workers admit there's a "litany of failure" including poor contracts and repeated redesigns.

The wife has also managed to spend £290 on holidays to Rwanda, a scheme to send local visitors to Africa which succeeded in removing precisely zero people whilst enriching consultants and lawyers beyond their wildest dreams. She wasted £98 on an electronic tagging programme which was simply written off, £105 on unusable plans for train stations, and managed to lose £300 on armoured car fittings which deafen their occupants and cannot reverse over anything higher than eight inches. The guard office has admitted wasting £130 since 2010 on night sticks which don't work, boats which can't sail, and model aircraft which can't fly.

When the village got a harmless cold, his wife really excelled herself, risking and losing "unacceptable" thousands to fraud and error through a combination of panic buying, non-existent due diligence, and what can only be described as weaponised incompetence. She spent £500 on takeaways for hospital staff, £2,000 on interior design for offices, £12 on leather stationery folders, and somehow managed to rack up £6,750 on government on store cards over five years, much of it on "away days" and branded merchandise nobody wanted.

His accountant estimates over £1,250 has been squandered since 2019 on projects which were abandoned, systems that didn't work, and consultants who achieved nothing except lightening your wallet. The wife pays armies of consultants to write reports about why previous consultants' reports were inadequate, creating an endless cycle of expensive futility which would be hilarious if it weren't funded by your salary.

The genius lies in the scale: individual failures like spending £60 on a villa in Italy or £720 on an unwanted art gallery which closed after five years might seem absurd, but they're statistical noise compared to the systematic waste embedded in every part of the house. His wife has created a machine which transforms taxpayer money into consultant reports, abandoned projects, and bureaucratic jobs with the efficiency of a nuclear reactor and roughly the same potential for catastrophic failure.

Next Up: More Ingenious Plans

This abusive relationship is going further though. His wife has noticed he's getting a little uncomfortable and not showing up as much, with complaints emerging while he's been at the pub talking about withholding his salary - or getting remarried.

She's now decided:

• Mums should be able to kill their children at the local hospital without police involvement
• She wants the house to be merged with the local council estate again after he told her they were leaving it last time
• Their allotment needs to be given away to strangers, so they can pay to rent it
• Grandma should be allowed to have the doctor smother her to death with a pillow
• Local homeless people should be allowed to sleep in the garden
• The security guards need to be nastier to him than the doubled amount of strangers she's letting through the door
• He's not allowed to see certain things on the Internet which point out they should divorce
• He's banned from using the local petrol station or even looking for one while the electricity bill has skyrocketed to the largest in town
• She needs to borrow more money than she said, and there needs to be more offices with lawyers and consultants
• His dislike of strangers in his house is racist, the security guards can't look at the gardeners' rape convictions, and his complaints are because he has a pathology

All in all, you'd have some choice words for this chap, wouldn't you? Some solid advice about his marriage he should take seriously before he's harmed even more seriously?

What To Tell The Divorce Judge

Let's look at in the true terms, with you in that situation. Your wife has created a perfect storm of socialist incompetence:

• She spends more than she has
• She borrows more every year
• She employs 600+ secretaries to do jobs which don't need doing
• She runs a health spa which consumes 3x the military budget
• She operates schools which cost more but the kids can't read
• She pays benefits to people who could work but choose not to
• She sends your money abroad while the house falls down
• She wants Abdul and Mohammed to work on the garden in between their rape trials

And when you complain, she accuses you of being selfish, uncaring, and probably racist.

Every failure is proof that more spending is needed. Every crisis requires a new committee. Every problem demands a fresh bureaucracy. 70% of what you give to your insane wife is spent on a pathologically-religious unmet need to create the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth so she can avoid hearing the brutal truth about herself at church.

But what if our man got himself a new wife? A younger, thinner, fitter, and nicer model? One who treated him kindly, loved him, and wanted the best for him?

That kind of young attractive wife would:

• Carefully live within her means
• Make sure her husband was free to prosper
• Respect his decisions and be grateful for his caring generosity
• Save and invest money wisely instead of borrowing it
• Keep the credit card balance within 45% of annual income
• Ensure the house and garden looked beautiful
• Make sure the doors and windows were closed so invaders couldn't break in
• Ensure kids could read
• Only provide help when she could afford it, to the right people

If you, or a country you know, is in an abusive or controlling relationship. It's important to get to safety immediately, away from the abuse. Remember, it's not your fault and dozens of countries go through this every year.

Welcome to modern Britain, where socialism isn't the problem - it's the solution to all the problems caused by socialism.

No-One Should Tolerate Abuse

If you, or a country you know, is in an abusive or controlling relationship, it's important to get help immediately.

Warning signs of financial abuse include:

• Taking control of all your earnings without your consent
• Spending your money on things you don't want or need
• Refusing to account for where your money goes
• Importing large numbers of feral third world invaders into your home
• Threatening consequences if you try to limit their spending
• Killing children and grandparents to save money on healthcare spending
• Gaslighting you into believing their financial failures are your fault
• Isolating you from economic independence
• Using armed enforcers to ensure compliance with their demands

Remember:

• It's not your fault that they can't manage money responsibly
• You deserve to keep the fruits of your own labour
• Healthy relationships involve mutual consent about major financial decisions
• No one should have to fund someone else's spending addiction indefinitely

Dozens of countries experience this type of economic abuse every year. You are not alone.

Help is available. There are alternative systems of governance where you can keep more of what you earn and have a say in how it's spent.

If you are in immediate danger of having your assets seized or your liberty restricted, contact your local tax haven immediately.
