“unless its part time work.”

Well done Sherlock, you eventually engaged a few neurones.

Well, given that min wage is still above the threshold, that doesn’t apply unless its part time work.

Back to remedial maths for you.

Taxing people in poverty is immoral.

Taxing poor people working, who are in poverty to pay people to live a better lifestyle than the poor worker, is particularly repugnant.

Add up all the benefits, and people were being paid 172K a year to live on benefits in Kensington. That’s tax free. That’s is totally wrong.

If you don’t, then provide some in-depth analysis of your own instead of talking out of your distended arsehole.
