The British Empire was built and maintained by colonials trading in slave labour and ripping other territories off. Now that they can’t do that abroad anymore (not publicly anyway), they’re turning on their own. Us.

They’ve had 14 years to sort this out. Why this year is it all of a sudden so urgent, I wonder? Unless of course this wasn’t a problem 14 years ago. Hmmmm.

This is my biggest issue with the whole mad as f*** scheme. If they stay in power I would not be surprised to see them reanimate the long dormant idea to move benefit claimants to areas with more job opportunities, or lose all their income. Perhaps Rwanda?

I do think people do need to learn or in some cases, re-learn resilience. I think there is a significant part of the population who were furloughed on 80% wages, topped up to 100% by the government grants got to keep their jobs, stay at home and play with their dogs and kids, get cost of living...

Huh? It’s been a perfectly respectful discussion. Not sure what thread you’ve been reading.

I had to go on JSA for a short while a few years ago. They literally never stopped threatening me the entire 4 months. Threatening to send me to unpaid work placements. Make me spend 8 hours a day in their job centre looking for work. Threatening to sanction me. Treated me like scum. I...

I’ve seen PIP payments of up to 10k given to active heroin addicts. Insane.

Would be nice to tackle all forms of fraud but A) Tory’s, pick your fights B) do not attempt to take medical decisions away from medical professionals and into the hands of Tory lickspittles. C) they have no intention of sorting out benefit fraud.

Well yes. I don’t think anyone believes it’s going to happen . This is an announcement to try to win votes from the anti-woke mob.

You’d never get any of this mob in front of Paxman . They tend to stick to fluff pieces on breakfast telly or sounbites from some canning plant in Milton Keynes that nobody will ever see.

“We are delivering…”

It just annoys and angers me that this sort of hypocrisy is never brought up when he’s being interviewed. The interviewer asks him / any Tory politician a question. They refuse to answer it and instead of asking a series of difficult questions, they just let them get away with refusing to...

Nope, genuinely had never heard of you before your posts on this thread. Sorry.

Sunak has got a f***ing nerve…. MPs clock off early as length of Commons work day hits record low https://www.ft.com/content/fef202b8-576d-429d-8136-cbb6db52f0f0 The working day for MPs in the House of Commons chamber has been shorter on average this parliamentary session than in any...

Massive rise in middle aged women taking up smoking. A direct response to stress I shouldn’t wonder. Having to balance a household budget is a fricking nightmare in 2024. Unless you’re Sunak and you can just ask your keeper/wife for another couple of thousand for lunch out.

Why were you having issues logging on?

It’s like the Tory’s are pointing at us and saying “Look at the f***ing state of you all. Can’t afford to feed yourselves, too ill to work, earning shit money, having to rely on our NHS. You’re disgusting” Dig a ditch…

When we stop working and stop paying tax the government are no longer bothered if we live or die. Well, they’d rather we die. Absolutely no way I’m retiring in this f***ing country.

Either way, glad to hear it worked out for the best 👍
