Except people have no choice but to accept rules imposed without consent. Just seems like a convenient excuse to lower our standard of living with the convenience of ephemeral excuses about the weather so we won't question the economic decline. But that is just my opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I thought they raided the pension chest when they had a shortfall of funds when they built Nobles, could be wrong but they definitely raided something and that is when it all started to go downhill, get away with it once it is easy to be tempted again, and again……etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the justification for it was NI = health = hospital. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
