I’m not getting the booster yet (been offered a couple days back) but I’m giving blood next week and thought best wait.
The PM wears a ****ing builders helmet when nothing is above him yet refused to wear a mask in a ****ing hospital...what a total **** he is
Exactly that! Sharing isn’t caringKeep all the booster goodness to yourself?
Played
Early data suggests new delta plus variant is a milder infection.

You don’t have a NI number so I wouldn’t worry about it fam.
I think without explaining it in great detail, the long and short of it is that he's capped care home costs at something like £86k for everyone. But it dosen't help the poor, it only advantages the well off, so for example....
If your house is worth £100k somewhere in the North, it means your family only get to inherit £14k
but
If your house is worth £900k somewhere in the South, it means your family get to inherit £814k
As it was, I think care homes ate up your money and home, until you had nowt left, so the idea was to stop that and also level up, because house prices are different guaged on where you live.
In simple terms Boris has shafted anyone with little money, while rewarding those higher up the tree. If I've got this example wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me, oh and National Insurance is going up...another thing that should be noted with that, NI is only payable up to a certain threshold at the top rate, again benefiting the wealthy, this is nowt new, but if the government wanted more money it's an area I feel they could have looked at.
The thing was, everyone has only just started shouting about it, I thought as soon has I saw what they were planning to do, I'm like whoooa hang on here, I can see what you are going to do. The problem is the opposition parties really need to up their game, they should have been battering Boris from the off, it's like they fell asleep, then someone said oi Keir, come and have a look at this....oh do I have too, can't it wait, I'm snoozing. I'm just so fooking amazed they couldn't see what Johnson was up to until the last minute.
NI is just a rax on employment and it should have been income tax that was raised to get the money so people like me paid . The care scheme is just blatant pleasing of the Tory heartland and is blatantly unfair .
Mind you i don't understand why folk expect the state not want to reclaim years and years of care home fees from the estate and instead let them have the money .
I think it went through. I forgot to add, anyone with assets less than £20k pay nothing but it still don't make it right that they are protecting the wealth of the wealthy, after all as someone from Labour I think it was pointed out, just because you have a bigger house, does not mean you worked harder than someone with a smaller house.
