You see that’s the difference between you and me, I don’t tell you who to vote for.
I’m not that arrogant :emoticon-0148-yes:
Not letting kids go hungry, that’s the difference between you and me mate. If I’m arrogant for that il hold my hands up. Hopefully you find some humanity this Christmas and actually realise that kids going hungry should never be a political tool.

Whataboutry mate. No pensioners will freeze and plans are in place for kids not to go hungry.

When Badenoch is your political hero how could I possibly tell you who to vote for. :-)

Have a good day mate and hopefully the football is good.
Same to you mate, keep well wrapped up it’s freezing out there.

I have to say, Labour are sackless when it comes to tackling wealth inequality in a meaningful way which is the big decision we need and have made some ****e decisions (arresting old ladies for protest, winter fuel, arms) but the more policies they land the more good I see. Their optics, ie their two big hitters being as dull as dishwater, especially Starmer having no soul, mean even good policies struggle to land, but ultimately that’s what they’re there for.

Killing pensioners is the Tories specialty, 23,000..


I don’t need to post a photo of kids going hungry because anyone who thinks that’s acceptable is a fcking c unt and one sad fck mate. I think you know the sort.

Jim Davison will be proud of your right wing humour mate. As Christmas comes hopefully you discover some humanity and realise letting kids go hungry should never be a political football.
Nobody should go hungry or cold. Neither older or younger. If we could reorganise the excessive wealth through taxation everyone would be fine.

IMHO. Lifting the 2 child benefit cap and restoring the fuel allowance is not the solution.
Do I want kids to starve and pensioners to freeze, of course not, I don't think any of us do.
However such widespread benefits although helps some in need it also benefits quite a few that it doesn't.
I've mentioned to you before that I feel lots of families on benefits are much better off than hard working families that need the help. They are probably the households whose kids are going hungry.
Then there are pensioners with really lucrative pension funds who really don't need that fuel payment, however there are plenty that are desperate for it.
No matter who is in charge if a benefit is costing the country too much money, don't just scrap it.
Do what your paid to do and adjust it accordingly so the people that need it benefit from it.
I think a prime example was during covid. The majority of the country was struggling financially, whether you were on reduced wages from work or struggling to run your small business.
The unemployed, the ones who don't actually want to work , were told don't look for a job, don't go out the house. In fact if you want, stay in your pyjamas all day and watch daytime TV.
Dream come true for them and the
y also got an increase of £20 a week.
Successive governments have failed to cut benefits to those that haven't earned or need it. This money would be much better used to help those that really do

Very well said marra,it’s baffling and frustrating that successive governments for DECADES just can’t or won’t do the homework and structure the benefits system to ensure the problems you have highlighted are solved
 
If it wasn't for all those who'll suffer it would almost be worth Reform getting in ...

... just to watch how quickly their voters realise they've been conned, just like Brexit.
They wouldn't though.
They'd blame the establishment, the elites, judges, vested interests anything but themselves, and their cult following would lap it up.

All ifs and buts, with not one shred of evidence, just the far left thinking the worst again, and scared of the pending election. So they drop the vote back 2 years as far as they can as they are running scared of Reform .We have already had a sample of Britain going to war under, Labour weapons of mass destruction Blair a total lie just like Starmer
