My understanding is that on 6% of people use more than 2k.

The budget is already overseen by the employer.

The total saving from this change will be enough to buy 1 military helicopter.

it is pretty quick to use an AI to write a letter of complaint, and submit one on the bbc website. Took less than a minute.

Apparently 6% of cycle to work scheme users spend over the £2k and the total amount it will save is £43m or about the same as 1 military helicopter. It's not serious policy. Especially if you strip out adapted cycles and cycles set up for transporting kids.

i also love the idea that above all else tax money should never ever be spent on anything that could bring a middle income earner joy.

'No, no little cash cow, you shut the fuck up and just pay for everything' :-)

The thing I also love about this is the idea that, the most offensive thing about the cycle to work scheme is that they might be subserdizing something middle earners enjoy :-)

no, no, unless you are dirt poor, you have had enough enjoyment. (tax cow)

It is also just corruption.

The Royal family explicitly is corruption and nepotism.

It is just fucking nonsense. :-)

no i've heard this idea of 'disposable people' I can't un-see it.

The idea that once you have industrial production you have areas of production, distribution and disposal. Everyone in those places is collateral, for the area fo consumption.

They are the nations brood parasites.

They Televise their weddings so we feel like we know them.

It is a very early example of a parasocial relationship

if we talked about the underlying problems we would have to talk about the solutions. Then the party would be over for some people. Some things you don't talk about because they will work.

I think these guys need to be met with pity not contempt.

Just imagine what kind of mental criss you have to be going through to want to put up your national flag various places.
