Not really much about community in the budget but hopefully some of these pubs will remain part of the community.
On the one hand we currently have multi millionaire pensioners who have lived through an era of rising property values, final salary pension schemes, various windfalls and job security getting a basic state pension. Whilst on the other hand money has been taken from the mine workers pension scheme, money that should have been invested into those communities.
No anti corruption measures, website or whistle blowing incentives. Not sure what oath an MP has to take but surely they need to declare that they will represent their community regardless of race, religion, sex, sexuality / ethnicity. Maybe some money could have been raised by introducing a VAR type system in Parliament with fines for bad behaviour, divisive rhetoric. Footballers have it why not politicians.
