Generally nice person (unless something or someone really winds me up) Now Politically Homeless. Brexiteer. Sunak not my Prime Minister. No DMs or I’ll Block
It seems that British Gas owes us all a big refund because their profits went up from £72m to £751m in a year. We are being ripped off big time & OFGEM are doing absolutely nothing at all about it.
It makes me so angry that our government stopped us ladies getting our pension at 60yrs & we now have to wait until we are 67yrs because they couldn’t afford it, yet can find BILLIONS to pay for illegals who have not paid a penny into our system. How is that right & fair 🤔
It’s not rocket science to understand the reasons for the recent floods. Drains are never cleared & rivers are never dredged. It has nothing to do with Climate Change.
I’m sick of hearing that a Pension is a benefit. No a pension is a pay back for all those people who invested their hard earned money back into the economy. So a state pension has been earned & pensioners deserve every single penny of it.
If I went to a Muslim country illegally would they put me up in a 4star hotel & give me benefits?
Would they allow me to build a Christian Church in their country?
Would they allow me to protest on their streets?
No they wouldn’t. So why are we allowing it in our country?
Just returning home from Dubai visiting my family.
No income tax
Bins emptied every other day
Road sweepers everyday
Hardly any self service checkouts
People really friendly & service excellent
It’s a shame that our own governments don’t care about the UK & it’s own citizens
I have to wait for my Pension until I’m 67 now because the Government couldn’t afford it. They can find plenty of money to feed, house, clothe over 40000 illegal migrants though. I have paid into this country all my Adult life & to say I am a bit miffed is putting it mildly.
It still really winds me up that I have to wait until 67yrs for my measly pension which they have robbed 7yrs from me, but I have paid NI since the age of 16. The problem being they can find the money just like that for MPs security, Foreign Aid & Illegal Migrants. Sick of it.
It’s not rocket science to understand if they raised the tax threshold from £12500 to £20,000 it would lift thousands & thousands out of poverty. Why do they not want to do this as it’s not because they can’t afford to do it because as we all know they have plenty to give away.
I was born & brought up in the UK as was all my family. So why are we being expected to change our lives to fit in with others. Surely it is only right & fair that others should change their lives to fit in with our way of life. It’s our country so should be our rules right?
So would Muslims allow us to invade their countries, build Churches & allow us to pray on the streets, put us all up in their Hotels for free & pay us. No they wouldn’t. So why do they & our politicians think it’s acceptable for us to allow this to happen in OUR country.
I have to wait until 67 now for a free bus pass thanks to the Government increasing the pension age but if I arrive on a small boat you get one immediately. How’s that right & fair. I’ve paid my taxes all my working life. Again how is that fair?
Would a Muslim country allow us to arrive in their country without a passport = NO
Would they allow us to build a Christian Church = NO
Would they allow us to stay in their hotels for free = NO
Would they give us benefits & free phones = NO
So why do we allow this in the UK?
I don’t understand why “new” state pension as of April 2016 will rise to £221.20 a week & people before 2016 will receive £169.50 a week. Surely ALL pensioners should be entitled to the higher amount. Why the difference?
So it’s ok for Naga Munchetty to call Boris Johnson a useless tosser on tv but can you imagine the uproar if it was the other way round. It’s disgraceful she’s been allowed to get away with this & should be disciplined for this. It’s another reason to defund the BBC. Shameful.
When I married in the 80s we were broke. 3yrs later we had children, we were even more broke & just got on with it. We never complained & never expected anyone to bale us out. This was life. What’s changed. We need to take responsibility for ourselves & not expect others to help.
Could all the mates & supporters of Gary Lineker please explain why you don’t understand the difference between Asylum Seekers & Illegal Criminals who pay smugglers thousands to bring them in on a dinghy when if they were legit they could fly in. What do you not understand.
I’m not worried for myself as I’m 62yr old & feel up until a couple of yrs ago have had a good life in this country. What I do worry about is our children & grandchildren living in this lost & dangerous place. It’s sad that we can’t trust anyone in charge to look after us anymore
The NHS is not underfunded. It is mis-managed. Get rid of diversity managers & stop paying £10+ to replace a lightbulb 💡 Start charging overseas visitors. We would soon see a difference in waiting lists.
I cannot for the life of me understand why some people want to abolish the Monarchy. Do these people not understand how much money the Monarchy brings into this country & how many other countries just love our Royal Family. What is wrong with some people, why are they not proud.
I’m no longer a proud UK Citizen. I used to love this country but now I’m ashamed & embarrassed that we are a laughing stock. We have allowed our once great country to be taken over without our consent. Who else in this World would allow this to happen?
I’m sorry but if Asylum Seekers are popping off home for Xmas then they are not fleeing persecution & should not be allowed back. What is wrong with this country. Are we a soft touch or what 🙈🙈
Instead of trying to get pensioners to return to work wouldn’t it be more beneficial to get working age people off benefits to work? Pensioners have done their turn now it’s down to the younger people to do their turn.
I think it would be the right thing to do if Jurgen Klopp made a public apology on behalf of the Liverpool Fans to HRH Prince William on their despicable & outrageous behaviour during the National Anthem.
So if
@SadiqKhan
feels that it is so safe in London then why does he go around in a bulletproof car 🤔 When Boris Johnson was Mayor of London he rode a bicycle.
Enough is Enough. Why are we giving the small minority of Trans a huge platform. Why are we having all these ludicrous conversations. I’m sick of it. Who’s with me?
In the 80s Mortgages were15% interest rate. We only had new clothes on Xmas & Birthdays. Never had holiday no takeaways or meals out. Life was tough but we got on with it & didn’t blame anyone else & we were both working full time. Just had to cut cloth accordingly.
I used to love visiting London at Xmas but would no longer feel safe anymore. What a sad country we have become when it’s no longer safe to walk your own streets. I will never forgive this Government for the damage they have caused as they’ve sold us all out, gutless morons.
If the BBC think I’m going to renew my licence after Naga Munchettys foul mouth response then they’ll be waiting a long time. I’m done with them. They are a disgrace to this nation & should now go it alone.
If
@RishiSunak
wanted to stop the boats he could do it tomorrow by sending the Navy into the channel & turning them back to France.
The reason he doesn’t is because he doesn’t want to stop them.
That’s why they keep coming.
He could stop it tomorrow.
He doesn’t want to.
So why are law abiding UK citizens having to pay tax on their earnings when illegals being housed in cosy warm hotels for free at taxpayers expense, work illegally cash in hand. How is that fair & right? It’s not. Something needs to change.
If the new James Bond is not white & middle class then that will be the end of James Bond. You can’t change the narrative of what he is. People will vote with their feet. Before anyone gets on their high horse & says this is being racist, no it’s not it’s being realistic.
I’ve never been more ashamed of this country & how it’s been allowed to turn into a 3rd World. UK citizens have been let down so badly by the people who are supposed to look after us. It’s a disgrace & we shouldn’t have to put up with it anymore.
So Nella failed to complete task & now exempt from the next trial. What a fix Celebrity has become. It’s an utter disgrace & not worth watching anymore.
@ITV
you are disgraceful. You edit what you want people to see. It’s a fix. Shame on you.
For all those that say it’s tougher now. We bought 1bed flat in 1981. Both worked full time. Everything we owned was 2nd hand. Never went out for meals. Rented tv.Struggled month to month. Only had new clothes for Xmas & Birthdays. So yes it was tough in the 80s just like today
My husband gets his pension next year & despite working all his life he’s had to pay two lump sums to receive full pension. If he had been on benefits he would get pension credit free to allow full pension. That doesn’t seem very fair to me. Again it shows it doesn’t pay to work.
Omg give me strength 🙈🙈 Now saying March was the warmest on record 🙈 Who else spent most of the time wearing flippers trying to keep their head above water as it never stopped raining 🙄 When will they stop with this nonsense 🙄
I don’t know about anyone else but I’d happily go back & live in the 60s & 70s if that were possible again as I no longer recognise this once great country anymore. It has changed beyond recognition & for the worst. We lived much simpler lives but they were happy times.
I don’t care if me voting for reform puts the useless Labour closer to winning as I can no longer vote for a useless Conservative Party just to stop useless Labour. If we keep voting for these same corrupt parties then we will never get change.
We have to end the cycle. NOW.
Wow the amount of people on here that don’t like it when you call out the migrants. How about supporting the poor people that were killed rather than supporting the migrant that murdered 3 people. You lot are shameful.
Us oldies born in the 50s 60s 70s realise the good times are now behind us & it’s all downhill from now on. Our children & grandchildren don’t have much to look forward to which is such a sad thing to say.
The Summer of 1976 heatwave recorded a highest temperature of 96.6 F. In the UK. That was nearly 50yrs ago. This is why I struggle with the paranoia of climate change.
What an awful country we now live in when some of us have to think twice about putting the heating on to keep warm & there are others that don’t even have to worry about is as they get it for free. How is this fair & right. How has it come to this?
Is anyone else fed up with the amount of money the UK is giving away to so many countries & getting nothing in return. It needs to stop. So much needs to be done in this country & yet politicians say there’s no money.
Strange how when RNLI are desperate for donations they only put white people on their adverts when they want our money but why should we donate to a charity that is only interested in bringing illegals to our shores.
So according to the Met Police, supporting St George’s Day is far right & they bring out riot police & the horses. Every Saturday at the Palestine Marches, no riot police or horses. Anyone else find that really weird & an absolute joke. It’s obviously not allowed to be patriotic
In all my years on this planet I have never known this country to be so weak & run by weak people. God help us for the future. The World must be having a good laugh at us 🙈 Weak & Pathetic.
So Universal Basic Income £1600 per month. So anyone who earns less than £20,000 per year will just stay at home & could you blame them & there won’t be anyone to fill these jobs. Absolute madness. The World is losing the plot big time. I can’t keep up with it the craziness 🙈🙈
Homeless Veterans on our streets, people struggling to pay energy bills, roads in a shocking state as is our NHS but the 1st thing the Chancellor announces in the Spring budget is a £1M memorial for Muslims. Do these politicians really work for us anymore? Don’t think they do.
It’s strange this country has enough money to give away to other countries but never enough to improve facilities or peoples lives in this country. Anyone else find this a bit odd?
Since when has a State Pension been classed as a benefit? It is NOT a benefit. It is a payment earned from paying in all our lives from our hard earned money. So no it’s not a benefit.
So our government have decided that if you were born from 2009 they will never ever let you smoke.
Where does this stop?
Will they decide if you can drink alcohol & decide if they will allow you to drive.
We must not allow our governments to dictate what we can & can’t do.
What has happened to the UK? When I was born in the 60s we were safe & happy. Everyone was kind to each other & enjoyed their lives. Now there are so many who seem to hate the UK. The enemy is now within this country & it’s such a shame we can’t all enjoy the time we have left.
Government now want to increase pension age to 68. If they weren’t wasting 10Million a Day on illegals they could then look after the people who have paid into the system all their working lives. It’s all about Priorities. Look after your own first.
I don’t know about anyone else but I for one will never use any Hotel again that threw it’s staff out on their ears without notice & cancelled people’s weddings just to make money from illegals. Who else feels the same?
Pensioners have worked all their lives & paid taxes ALL their working lives. How dare Benjamin Butterworth say immigrants pay taxes & pensioners don’t. It is disgusting & inexcusable. No wonder we have such a problem in this country when we have imbeciles like this.
They still keep threatening to get rid of triple lock for pensioners when our pension is one of the lowest in the World, but they have no problem giving UK money to other countries, some of them don’t even need it. Surely it should be look after your own 1st, then others.
I’ve managed 61yrs without needing an Emergency Alert from the Government & can continue to manage without one. I’d don’t trust Governments anymore & this is just another way of trying to control us. Mines switched off. Who else has done the same?
So Labour are trying to block the new migrant bill. Labour are obviously going to change us into a Muslim Country. Why any UK Citizen would be happy with this is beyond me & they must be deranged. What is wrong with you people. This is & always has been a Christian Country.
Strange how councils managed to find plenty of money to fund cycle lanes which nobody ever seems to use but can’t find the money to fill potholes in our roads which millions of drivers use 🤔
Is anyone else not going to watch Children in Need? It seems like the BBC only want us when they want our money. Couldn’t care less about us otherwise.
So they want to increase the pension age to 71yrs. So obviously the plan being you have to work until you’re in your 70s then they hope you drop down dead from exhaustion so they don’t have to payout, 🙈 but you are expected to pay in all your working life.
So the government sneaked through an amendment to access any pensioners bank account that they want to. Why? Surely this shouldn’t be allowed. Bank accounts should be private. How dare they.
Some families on the military base in Essex have been given only a week to vacate. The fact that they have to vacate to make way for migrants in the first place is absolutely disgraceful. Government putting others before the people that help keep this country safe. How shameful.
Does anyone else wish we could go back about 30yrs. Life then seemed so much simpler. No computers, people were kind & even though governments have never been perfect they weren’t corrupt like they are now. It just seems we are never going to get the good times back. It’s sad.
I hope all the people that have helped & encouraged illegal migration into this country are happy with themselves when they see what is going on in Leicester & other cities. This is on you & you should ALL be ashamed. We warned you but you did not listen. Now deal with it.
Surely if you’ve paid into your State Pension all your working life, if you die before you receive it then shouldn’t it automatically go to your spouse for the remainder of their life. Seems only fair?
