Brexit

Think everyone under 16 gets free travel in London. Should that be means tested? After half 9 here buses are a lot cheaper due to the idea that those using them at that time will be unemployed. Should you have to produce a letter from the dole to the bus driver?

There will never be a perfect system but getting het up because someone else is getting something cheap or free is daft.

 

I don't get this **** about people getting free stuff tbh. Especially pensioners. The UK is one of the worst countries in Europe for state pensions. Our pensioners get a pittance. Most have paid into the system all their lives and are made to feel like a leech when they retire at whatever age the Government has decided we have to work too this week.

Pay a decent pension I say. Free public transport, fuel, rent and the BBC should be told to go stick their TV licence up their hole.

Power to the pensioners.

Visited L'bourg while on holiday with my Mum in Trier. It was crap; beer and CD's were far more expensive than in Germany!

 

60 is not pensionable age though is it?

 

I'm not getting het up about someone else getting free stuff...

I think the current system is ****ed and doesn't help the genuine in need in most cases .

It's abused by scum ...poor and rich

 

It fùcking should be.

Don't even get me started on that. Cùnts!

 

I've had this arguement many times
...

But it's simple

Anything that can be provided by the state , benefits , scripts , travel , should be but only to those with a genuine need.

If you have money , you should contribute more .






That goes for non chronic or potential terminal illness NHS treatment as well.

 

But you voted for the Tories?

 

Even if you’ve paid tax and vat your whole working life? Aye righty - o.

 

Question...

How do they know how much that costs? Do the bus companies claim for every journey taken with a bus pass?

 

Yep

 

You do contribute though. They call it national insurance.

 

So the bus companies have the opportunity to take the Micheal.

 

I have done

I have voted labour

Every election is different for me and I vote accordingly


There is not one party I agree with in a majority

Last GE, I vote green ...

Last Scottish election, I voted green ...

Tory and labour were not viable options

 

Indeed they do and I'm pretty sure they will, another reason to do away with this nonsense.

 

Somecunt Photoshop Puds hair on to a picture of Thatcher.

 

I've voted Tory in the past because it benefited me personally.

 

Why is letting people travel free nonsense? Older people have given us the society we have today with all its benefits, why what's wrong with chucking them free ****?

 

60 is neither "old" nor pensionable age, it's a totally random age to be doling out free travel as most 60 year olds are in full time work. Why throw £200m down the drain when it could be better spent elsewhere?

£200m ffs, we could build a couple of hospitals for that.
