@judeinlondon Have these people never seen the tv series rich house, poor house.. During the swap people are shocked when they see their daily budgets. If anyone on 80k wants to swap that for my yearly benefits they're more than welcome

I think 80k is rich when you’re on 12k of benefits a year and that’s the metric being discussed here
TegMiles@NewheyVermont
@judeinlondon Surely it depends on lots of things; levels of debt, housing, kids and other commitments. 80K isn’t rich in the South East I think it’s fair to say, probably comfortable in the rest of the country. Also, big big difference between 80K in 2026 v 2016.

The Covid vaccines have been given BILLIONS of times and saved MILLIONS of lives
They are one of the safest and most successful medical interventions in history
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸@FmrRepMTG
Countless numbers of people have died from the COVID vaccines. Many live with vaccine injuries. Women have had miscarriages. Their FDA approval must be revoked and they need to be entirely taken off the market. I had Covid early in March of 2020, was only sick a few days. I never took the vaccine because the vaccine risks was much higher than the actual virus.

@drhicksbakers @AlexioSmithos @judeinlondon So you agree its a good thing to have in place and helps people who need it? Why all the anger and arguments then.
English
@SingleDadTravel @AlexioSmithos @judeinlondon I’m good man. We’re well looked after.
Use you discount for families that actually need it and can’t go
English
@drhicksbakers @AlexioSmithos @judeinlondon I tell you what, when you a day out next let me know and I'll book it for us using my discount, heck I'll even pay 😎
English
@AlexioSmithos @SingleDadTravel @judeinlondon Then they should pay full price for tickets as well then Alex

@SingleDadTravel @judeinlondon Majority of OAPs have worked and paid taxes a lot longer than me. They deserve every benefit they get.
Unemployed working age men do not.
How this opinion is so upsetting to you lot is bananas to me.
English
@drhicksbakers @judeinlondon How is a business giving a discount so upsetting to you? If the discount stopped tomorrow would you actually be happy?
English
@drhicksbakers @judeinlondon The children aint going on their own are they 👌and how many unemployed men are going to the tower of london and other attractions and how often?
English
@SingleDadTravel @judeinlondon Why would I complain about shit jobs and low wages?
I think discounts should be for the elderly and for children.
Never for unemployed grown men.
English
No, work doesn’t pay because employers won’t pay you enough for the job you do, that’s why wages have stagnated as life has gotten more expensive
The Sausage Maker@MakerSausage
@judeinlondon Work doesn't pay because workers are subsidising the lifestyles of almost 24 million people on some type of benefit.
English
@judeinlondon So how do you think the market would handle all the people on benefits actually giving them up an going to work tomorrow?
English
@drhicksbakers @judeinlondon Complain about shit jobs and low wages then. Ending the discount wont make it cheaper for workers to go 🤣
English
@SingleDadTravel @judeinlondon 😂
Jesus man.
Noone is jealous. If I say it’s not right
That a working family pays MORE for something than a non working family, that’s not jealousy pal.
I can afford a day out chief. Some workers can’t… the unemployed can. That’s just wrong for me.
Not for you.
English
@drhicksbakers @judeinlondon Why are you bothered by what other people can do? Do you complain about b&q and iceland giving discounts for oap's? Why can they get shopping cheaper than you can when you work? Fucking disgusting take it off them immediately!! 😂
English
@SingleDadTravel @judeinlondon You wouldn’t be keeping me happy. I don’t care about your life or your circumstance
I care that an unemployed lazy man can take his family out cheaper than an employed family who are struggling to pay the mortgage
That’s scandalous in a fair society.
English
@drhicksbakers @judeinlondon If i didn't do what i do then it would cost the tax payer more money 👍so should i give up benefits, get a job pay more to go london tower, but put extra pressure on nhs just to keep you happy..
English
@SingleDadTravel @judeinlondon Should I get paid more so I can afford to do the stuff I want to do
I want a Jetski.
I want a camper van.
Should the government give me things I want without me working??
English
@drhicksbakers @judeinlondon Its hardly a privilege calm down.. Imagine being jealous of someone on benefits getting a discount because the media told you to be upset, this discount has been available how long and you're only just moaning now 👌 if your employer cared more perhaps you could afford a day out
English
@SingleDadTravel @judeinlondon I don’t care how many
Unemployed people should not have privilege over the taxpayers
How’s that’s controversial is bananas to me
English
I feel a bit off today
Not sure what it is
I know that it's not polio, diphtheria, tetanus, smallpox, measles, mumps or rubella though
Because of vaccines
English
@drhicksbakers @judeinlondon Should i get paid more so i can afford so i can pay the extra when i go on a day out?
English
@judeinlondon 😂
Are you always abusive to people?
Do you think that makes you smarter?
Use your words. If you don’t have a reply can always insult people. That will win.
I’ll ask again.
Why should a working family be penalised over a non working family?
Fucking retard
English
@RemoteHusband @john_ford77 @THemingford What is your end objective then? Seem to be arguing but have no point to make.
English
English
I can't imagine having the sort of attitude where, because of inadequate pay due to pay not keeping up for decades, that I would resent or begrudge a disabled person or child enjoying a day out. That really is awful selfishness.
English
@RemoteHusband @john_ford77 @THemingford So if you receive a discount its okay, but if you don't its not fair?
English
@SingleDadTravel @john_ford77 @THemingford No - I think thresholds would end up in a parallel position to income tax with a form of ‘fiscal drag’. Many European tourist attractions have dual pricing for tourists (non EU) and EU/locals. Maybe something like that would allow a reduced price for locals and allow discounts
English
@celine681743 @judeinlondon In your fair system, would people who earn more pay more? Shall we just have so when we get to tills we all simply scan a qr code and get charged a percentage of earnings so we all pay proportionally the same?
English
@judeinlondon wanting fairness isnt the same as wanting "misery", it's wanting a system that doesnt feel like punishment for whoever is working. i am not against benefits. i am against if able bodies get it without working. top-up what they earn but make sure they are working as well.
English
Nobody in this country knows what they want except for that thing to be equitable misery. Truly a nation of Protestants.
celine@celine681743
@GaytriotGannon @judeinlondon I can afford them if I dont work though, right? just sit at home as a single mum and everything will be okay. the problem is i am working very hard to fund those who just want to pop out children.
English
@RemoteHusband @john_ford77 @THemingford So would you suggest charging people who earn more than the average to pay more to enter? How does this work what's the threshold?
