I don't watch any news channels, nor do I read any newspapers. This snippet came from an elderly friend who lives in Newport. If it is true, it is yet another show of disdain for those who have toiled and paid in for decades.
It stinks, G-Man. Both my parents worked hard and paid taxes for over fifty years, yet they have been penalised for having just a few bob over the threshold.
This government rewards the feckless, the workshy, the criminal and the alien: all at the expense of the hard-working taxpayers.
A UK government spokesperson said it was "committed to giving pensioners the dignity and security they deserve in retirement, which is why we are protecting the triple lock with the state pension set to increase by £1,700 over the course of parliament". "But given the dire state of the public finances we have inherited, it's right that we target support to those who need it most." The spokesperson said that across England and Wales "over a million pensioners will continue to receive the winter fuel payment, many will benefit from the £150 Warm Home Discount scheme, and we urge others to check their eligibility for Pension Credit on gov.uk".
There's some thick gullible ****ers. Govt: We had no choice but to take money off pensioners to balance the books. Same Govt: We encourage everyone that can to claim their allowances to keep them out of poverty, If everyone did as the Government claim they can, it'd cost more than the fuel allowance. Govt: We need to claw back half a billion off the farmers, but it won't affect many of them. Same Govt: We're giving half a billion to foreign farms. Same Govt: Dished out billions to already very well paid train drivers. You've got to be some sort of totally one eyed ****wit to swallow the guff from this shower of **** and believe it's anything to do with balancing books..
Government: We shouldn't be giving free money to rich pensioners. We'll help poor pensioners get the money they should be paid, even if it costs more. Crazed righties: OMFG STARMER IS THE PM, I'M GOING TO CRY ABOUT IT EVERY ****ING DAY. None of you lot were upset when the Tories removed the triple lock or refused to regulate super high energy bills/impose a windfall tax. You didn't give a **** about pensioners then, why pretend to care now?
Labour only care about their client class ,most rural areas don't vote Communism Labour so they punish them to enrich the new British replacements we keep importing. Just kill off old (white British) ****s Abdul wants to live here & he'll vote Labour
