If I came from a family that has held a seat in House of Lords for 7 generations and used it to protect their vast empire from Tax and Inheritance Tax. I probably wouldn't be complaining about free bus passes for Senior Citizens. You'd look ridiculous.

If you spend 14yrs stripping away support for the Police, the NHS, Councils, Schools, Community Centres, Libraries, the Fire Service, Social Services etc then you get a society that's broken. Stop blaming migrants, blame the Tories, they broke Britain & we're all paying for it.
