00:00I don't really know much about the budget for the NHS but I mean I come from a military background,

00:04I mean I've served five years in the Navy, so I don't think there needs any more tax going,

00:09I don't think it needs to pay any more, I think it needs to be redistributed, I think that's a

00:14good word, I think the nuclear sector gets a lot for what it does and that's from it, as an ex-submariner

00:20I think it needs to be re-diverse, I don't think it needs any more, I think it needs to be

00:24redistributed to where it actually should go.

00:26Definitely for the NHS because they really do work hard, I was looked after just a few weeks ago but

00:33the work that they do is amazing and they don't get paid enough,

00:37so yeah I think a rise in taxes for that would be good.

00:42Taxation is always a tricky one and definitely like as a business owner I have like eight,

00:50nine employers like feel any changes in tax like very sharply.

00:56I'm for more taxation if it feels like it's going in the right places.
