I don't see what point your trying to make, but calling your parents cunts isn't nice.
I'm saying that my dad would fuck your mum in the ass and she would enjoy it! But more importantly i'm saying your analogy is flawed! read it

people who are not honest make a choice!
Yet again you display your stupidity. :lol:
All i was doing is replying to his sarky comment with another sarky comment, why am i the one getting these comments returned? Maybe you should go back and read his comment i quoted!

He does it on purpose because he is a troll, i normally don't bite but thought i would return the trolling vibe he gives out as i had had a bad day and wasn't up for taking any shit from a troll on the internet!

Two or three people go MMPP and you lock threads. Why not just lock the people getting personal with each other.

It would be interesting to know the full amount the Government has forked out since the start of covid. Propping up folks wages. Investment in vacine research and administer it. Propping up peoples power bills even changing Prime Ministers must cost millions. Got a nothing to do with us war to pay for. It must all be mounting up.

Of course it's not. They want to keep themselves in a job, that's well on the way to achieving it.

On the one hand I feel like "why should pensioners be immune from inflation, no-one else is?" but then on the other hand, you have to ask what a pension if for. If you believe it's allow retirees a minimum basic level of being alive, then yeah it should rise with inflation.

I would argue for some sort of means testing, but that'd probably cost more than it saves.

They know their customer base, that's for sure.

So all that's really going to make me worse off is the Energy Cap increase from £2500 to £3000

Haven't watched any of it. After the screaming has subsided I'll read about it and watch Ed Conway's precis on Sky this evening.

Holding the tax allowances is ok, you earn a bit more and you pay a bit more in tax, no issues with that.

But why not go the whole hog, he should have ripped foreign aid to pieces, stripped out the tens of thousands of hotel rooms for economic migrants and cut the funding of the mickey mouse cold war with Russia.
Use that money to build social housing and renewable energy.

Cut MPs salaries and expenses, instead of paying them to stand around talking bollocks.
Cut any any work related benefits for the last three cabinets and put the board of the Bank of England in prison for treason.

If he'd have announced that I might have moved back to the UK and not complained when they came for their 45% on my income.
It's all very simple in thought, but there would be a massive uproar from the incredibly vocal few at the thought of cutting money for foreign aid, the hotels for migrants and haemorrhaging money to Ukraine. We'd probably see massive protests and riots from the wonky fringed vegans.

I was a bit upset with more money being poured into the NHS, with the wasted funds they get, they get more to waste.
