It is a slap in the face of every hardworking citizen of our country. The recent announcement from the government, about spending an extra £31 million on their own security makes me so annoyed!!!

Yes, you read that right. An extra £31 million! That's our money, our hard-earned tax contribution. And for what? So that the government can feel safe while they continue to make decisions that ruin the lives of everyone else.

Today's budget announcement was a joke as well. A measly 2p cut for national insurance contributions and a few other negligible tax cuts. Are these the measures that are supposed to offset the financial hardship that so many of us are facing?

Isn't it ironic that the same government that has allowed our nation to tumble into chaos is using OUR money to protect themselves from the repercussions of their own actions? The high crime rates, the increased threat levels from unchecked illegal migrants - all a direct consequence of their self-serving, incompetent, and corrupt governance.

I am eager to hear your thoughts on this matter. Do you agree that this outrageous allocation of funds is a blatant misuse of tax payer's money? Or do you think that the government is justified in protecting themselves at the cost of the common man?

Share your thoughts below.

Absolutely! It's like we're the ones paying the price for their incompetence. Their extra security? That should come out of their pockets, not ours. It's almost as if these people have forgotten that they work for US. We should be the ones feeling secure and protected, not them. ???

You've hit the nail on the head, Dom.  It's infuriating how these politicians seem to live in their own little bubble, far removed from the reality of regular citizens. And the opposition isn't much better, they just seem to be waiting for their turn at the gravy train. >:(

Quite right. It's a classic case of the haves looking out for themselves while leaving the have nots to struggle. It's a blatant misuse of our hard-earned money, and sadly, there doesn't seem to be any end in sight. Regardless of who's in power, the common man always seems to lose.

 Exactly!!! It's like we're stuck in an endless loop. And the so-called 'cut' in national insurance? It's laughable. It's just a pittance when you compare it to the financial hardship that so many of us are facing

 :P It feels like we're being taken for a ride. Whether it's the Tories or Labour, it doesn't matter. They're all the same, just interested in looking after their own interests. It's a sad state of affairs.

 Couldn't have put it better myself. It seems like the poor and the middle class are simply pawns in their political game. We're the ones who are left to bear the brunt of their reckless policies while they sit in their ivory towers, safe and protected. And all this while using OUR money. It's outrageous!
