Sorry mate, but you can't go spouting crap then fook off when it don't work out for you, and think you can come sliding back having a poke at other users two months later. It might be how it works on the Spurs board but not on here.

I don't spout crap the fact you don't understand what I am saying is not my fault.

From what I remember of the last conversations was you making assumptions about where people live and rattling on about countries like Norway, until Welshie rocked up and put you straight. <laugh>

You need to get out more brb. I stopped debating about Scotland because of the ignorance of reality in England. It's not your fault, the State propaganda machine is working hard to keep Scotland in the union. All I heard from this board was the state nonsense, and I have no wish to engage with it. I know what the actual situation is because like many in Scotland I have taken the trouble to educate myself. I thought there might be a constructive debate to be had on here but clearly not. I'll stick to banter and take care what I say.

See, that's exactly what I was saying. That's the level, and I am not interested in engaging at that level.

You're below that level, you were found out time and time again.

Posting misinformation you found online.

Couldn't ever stand toe to toe on facts, not once.

Just after the WFP was introduced me and the Mrs were visiting her parents . When i moaned about it they sais
them "we're old and feel the cold"
us "so"
them " we're pensioners and need help"
us " you've just come back from a 19 day cruise on the QE2 and have already booked next year on the new flagship so give over with this nonsense "

While I hear and agree with what you say, my thoughts on this are that I doubt knowing most members on here (not606) that anyones parents are on the breadline. As I understand it there are over 800k pensioners that do fall within the category of being entitled to WFP, but they need to be claiming pension credit to get it?

Now I see the hurdle here, a lot of those pensioners may never of claimed any benefit, pension is not a benefit in my eyes. I'd be like them if I was entitled to claim pension credit, it feels like the state want to know the ins and outs of your life to claim it, it feels like a big rod over you if you inadvertently give them a piece of wrong information. So people steer clear.

Lots or people don't claim benefits that they are entitled, not just pensioners, something like PIP is a minefield, now I know you've worked in benefits and to you it might not, but to an outsider of the system it really does. And what happens in these situations people end up suffering because of it, quietly and often alone or that's how it feels to them.

So while I understand what Keir has done, I just wonder where the safety net is for those that are not like the example you have given. Then I look at the cost, savings of £3.8B is my understanding, £2.1B back out of that pot if everyone claims pension credit, and if I heard right, an additional 3 months backdated. So yeah close the hole but I don't believe the stated savings stack up. Not forgetting this is the same nation that gave everyone a fuel allowance during covid.

So I see the arguments from both sides for and against, and I just wonder to the Labour Party if it was all really worth this aggravation it has caused them. It feels like they've shot themselves in the foot, to save what about £1B while dishing out *£9B in payrises (Laura Kuennsberg interview I saw) - I got no problem with the payrises, if it stops anymore strikes, but just trying to put it into perspective there had to be a better way of handling this...

Anyway ageism is king on 606, so fook em.
