Hiding in a basement with a tinfoil hat on his head, convinced the lizardmen are trying to get into his brain so that they can extract the strategic knowledge needed to finally wipe out humanity.
I was thinking back to when I could have had welfare support, but was lucky to continue working and was able to apply for a blue badge while on dialysis to part at the doors of the dialysis unit and if out shopping. Returned it a week after getting home from transplant.
That thing was the most traumatic experience of my life, didn’t know what to expect, but when he said I will cut into your jugular to access your heart…..I wished I had taken the ‘sedative’ they suggested
one day I may not be able to work, if labour **** this up, I would struggle to ever vote for them again. They need to remeber their roots and how and why…

seriously don't worry as you would get very little if incapacity benefit as although it goes against the whole point of contributory benefits they sneaked in a rule that they could take money off you for having an occupational pension* so you would get a pittance anyway and the PIP changes are just tinkering at the edges .I was thinking back to when I could have had welfare support, but was lucky to continue working and was able to apply for a blue badge while on dialysis to part at the doors of the dialysis unit and if out shopping.

*but only that you can have a million in the bank or 240 rental properties thats no problem .
You ****ers
Just for the record between us me and my wife (because we worked and didn't rely on TU to fight our battles for us) are on over 50k a year, I still drive around in my Jag and she has her own car, I have NEVER relied on the State for anything and NEVER EVER WILL
AND as a freelance Commercial Manager (posh name for Quantity Surveyor) my best year was £104k for the year
So just take your cheap Pensioner jibes and shove them where the sun dont shine, the real truth was there were millions of pensioners not in my position who were shat on from a great height by the worst Labour Government in history

I think it's great to see that old timers like Duggie still have the fire in their belly. 
That is (or could be) my great nephew, he is six now and in the Essex Football Academy, last year his dad promised him a pound for every goal he scored (he regularly plays in goal for half a game) and he scored 108 goals, for his age he makes Haarland look like a amateur
If only they lived in Herts rather than Essex

Cock sucker
Would not make any difference to me ****wit
My private pension and wifes work pension increase by 5% every year
In all seriousness, the UK economy has been ****ed with mostly since 2010.
After the '08 crash the Tories came in with a narrative that the methods of managing a generally successful economy that Labour had been employing were "disastrous" and led to the collapse, aka they claimed government spending was bad and that borrowing money was also a wholly negative thing and governments should -never- borrow.
Cameron imo was a terrible Prime Minister, much worse than his predecessor and even worse than his successors. He neglected to borrow and invest in the economy when interests rates were at a record low in 2010 but then borrowed more than the Labour gov did when interest rates were higher, all while having a strict austerity policy that Boris Johnson rightly called out as needing to end asap. He fuelled poverty and mismanaged the growing housing crisis by copying Canada and letting only private companies commit to building houses - which has led to the problem of too many landlords.
The guy should be ashamed of himself tbh and he's now a ****ing LORD.

Duggie is like a cross between Victor Meldrew and Arnold Schwarzenegger
For someone with a nice car and a massive pension he's a miserable old ****
needs to pop down the bingo with his mates and have a laugh
Wellsaid Duggie, pretty much the same for me, worked all my working life in pretty physical jobs and am still doing while drawing state pension (which i pay £200 pre month tax on) so didn't need the cold weather payments but i know plenty that did because health stopped them working.
Funny as you should mention it, I was thinking yesterday when they announced how much benefits cost the state...something like £300B, but I'm like yeah but hang on a minute what does this all break down to, it probably includes pensions that people have paid into, it probably includes the triple lock that Labour haven't touched, it probably includes all the pensioners that Labour forced to sign on for benefits, when they took away there winter allowance to make savings that never existed.
Oh and they are going to save £5B, but they are spending £1B to implement the changes, and it will probably be even more than that, so the savings will be insignificant, much like they were taking the WFA away, and the savings will not be immediate, some of this stretches out to 2028. All it's doing is passing the parcel around, because Rachel from accounts wants to do a Spring Budget next week, the very Spring Budget she said she wasn't going to do, when she screwed empoyers over on the National Insurance increase.
The economy is grinding to a halt, it's ****ed, she knows she ****ed it, so she went to DWP and said right people, we need to bring austerity back, but we will disguise it as reforms and blame it on £22B blackhole, and ffs don't mention the wars.
