    Or you could ask them how they can continue to justify their hatred for Jews now that Trump has put a stop to the war <whistle>

    I have said it for years, visit any pub or club in any town right across the UK and you will find the laziest workshy benefit claiming dregs of society drinking their benefits 7 days a week. Get them out of the pubs and into work.
    The communities that everyone is scared to mention with multiple wives and hoards of children all need their benefits stopped and be made to work, regardless of religion.
    My grandad came home from war went straight down the pits, then the factories when the pits closed and still brought a family of 9 up on his wage, my Nanna also contributed to the family income with various part-time jobs. My mam followed suit, she worked several jobs to keep me and my brother fed and warm, she was insulted at the thought of claiming benefits, there is no shame now in claiming benefits when you dont need them, its an art form, these people are bleeding the country dry. I have always worked and provided for my family as has my wife, it was part of our upbringing, you have to work to provide.
    On the odd day I take off work midweek it astounds me the amount of people I see who dont work driving around in mobility cars, drinking in pubs, smoking etc, the benefits system is shattered never mind broken. We have leeches in every community up and down the country draining the system dry and contribute nothing.
    This is the kind of thing that bothers me most, a neighbour several doors along from us is driving around in a brand new car with his blue badge, plays golf a few times a week, several holidays a year, always in the best gear, on the drink every weekend, he earns it by limping around with his stick every now and again, never takes it to the golf course or Benidorm

    Like Ricky Gervais, who said paying tax is simple. I earn a lot of money, I pay 40% tax on that money and I am still left with a lot of money after I have paid it.

    It's got worse since Covid, some people got used to staying at home and still getting a wage. Until a government stands up and tells the electorate some cold hard facts that the benefit system is not sustainable then as a country we are goosed. The most vulnerable in society are the ones that are going to suffer the most.

    I was told to work from home for 3 weeks due to an outbreak at work, I lasted 3 days, I could not get motivated and simply could not do my job to the same standards that I set myself in the Workplace, too many distractions. I just told my boss the truth and told him I was returning to work, the amount of people that dragged it out for months on end was embarrassing, they were practically dragged back to work. As long as a certain kind of person is provided with an income they will do the very least to receive it without any shame

    Starmer is facing his worst nightmare, the fact that he was caught on camera lying to Parliment will do for him, here are the facts explained but ive made it so that the easily hurt by the truth can pretend they didnt watch it

    I’m happy for Rachel to tax rich people’s assets.
    But I get the feeling that she will go for after all assets not just the super rich. As she has already done with inheritance tax on any unspent pension funds.

    The pensions thing is okay in my book. The deal is that you get tax relief on pension contributions on the understanding that the drawdown is taxable. Any remaining pension pot should still be liable on death IMO.
