The same people that are telling me I should be ok with a Pakistani/bangladeshi family that haven never worked with 5 kids getting more in extra benefits than I earn in a year are apparently against pensioners getting a measly £12k per year after working their whole lives

The Man Who Paid In & The Man Who Paid Nothing. Meet Frank, the man who paid in. Frank turned 80 last winter. He grafted 52 years as a builder in Manchester, his hands and back are broken from laying bricks in pouring rain. Every week he paid his National Insurance. Never claimed benefits. Never broke the law. He raised two kids on a council estate, paid his taxes and did his bit for the country he loves. Now he shuffles to the post office in the same coat he’s worn since 2018. His old Nokia phone barely holds the charge. His State Pension is £241.30 a week, just over £12,500 a year, but after gaps, Frank gets less. He counts every penny. Some weeks it’s heating or eating. Last winter around 2,500 people in England died from cold associated causes. Frank keeps the thermostat at 15 degrees and wears jumpers indoors. "I’m not living," he tells his neighbour. "I’m just existing." His wife, Margaret, has been in a care home for two years, dementia stealing her away. Frank struggles to keep their old car on the road for weekly visits. One more breakdown and those trips could end. Every pension day is the same. Frank walks past the bookies where young fighting age men fresh off small boats shout, laugh and slap down stacks of cash twice as thick as his weekly pension. He keeps his head down, clutching his wallet, praying nobody follows him home. His street no longer feels like his street. Fewer familiar faces. Foreign languages. The corner shop is now a Turkish barbers. He feels all alone in the city he once helped build. Meet Ahmed, the man who paid nothing. Ahmed arrived on a dinghy last summer, one of 41,472 Channel crossings in 2025, mostly young men from Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan and Sudan. He tossed his documents into the sea, then claimed asylum the moment the dinghy touched the beach. No passport. No papers. No contributions. The Home Office puts him in a hotel. Heating on full. Three meals a day. Security on the door.Ahmed strolls the streets in new clothes and the latest iPhone, using free bus shuttles twice a day, drinking and laughing with friends outside the same bookies Frank avoids. He broke immigration rules entering the country uninvited. Once granted asylum, the door opens to UK benefits and housing. Frank paid in all his life and obeyed every rule. He built the Britain that now houses Ahmed. Ahmed has paid nothing and doesn't obey the rules, he receives shelter, warmth, food, free transport and pocket money while Frank rations food, huddles under blankets to keep warm and constantly worries about money. Tonight as Ahmed relaxes in a warm hotel room with new Nike trainers by the bed, wondering what’s for dinner. Frank sits in his cold home wondering why a lifetime of hard work brings only deprivation. This story is repeating in towns and cities across the country. This isn’t fairness. This is a betrayal. #UKNews #UKPolitics #StopTheBoats

Give me a refund on my national insurance paid over 55 years and I’ll forego my state pension.

Arson..... It was a terrorist attack and you downgraded it to Arson because the crime was committed by Muslim Terrorists.. We see you... Traitors...

£12,000 per annum to a British pensioner whose paid NI and tax for 45 years? Or £50,000 per annum to a family of Somalians who've never paid tax or NI. And never will? But 'refugees' welcome, eh? 🙄😡

@Jvnior Funny how we don’t see the same concerns from you for all the kids murdered by the Islamic regime in Iran. Now why could that be, eh Jvnior?🤔

✝️Buckingham Palace have tried to BAN this video. Watch as his Majesty King Charles III 'attempts' to lecture us to abandon Western values and Christianity for "the wisdom of Islam". For the love of GOD abdicate and go live in Iran.

@KateC_SNP @theSNP We said no to independence. Not our fault you lot hate democracy. Anyway you are just saying this to get on the gravy train. It’s very lucrative.

@LBC @ShelaghFogarty What a smug moron, those kids were a mob of anti social intimidating thugs.

The imam of Brescia who said that 9 year old girls can be married was deported from Italy today to his home in Pakistan. One less pedophiIe in Europe.

@RhonddaBryant We remember Nick Brown. Is the young boy still wearing a colostomy bag?

Retweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Are you sure? Can you send some officers to my restaurant? Many of your voters are harassing me and my guests.

This week the National Education Union has vowed to stop a Reform government- by urging its 500,000 teacher members to campaign against Reform in the classroom. This is not education. It’s indoctrination. And it’s against the law.

Then explain why I’d get a reduced pension if I didn’t pay enough NI contributions.

If people didn’t ’pay in’ why do they need 35 years of statutory contributions to get a state pension?

🚨BREAKING: THOUSANDS of Christian’s have FLOODED Trafalgar Square this morning to celebrate Good Friday 🇬🇧 Thousands of people have gathered to DECLARE the UK a Christian nation ✝️ Absolutely beautiful to see, much much better than a sea of Muslims.

Labour is a Pakistani Rape Gang protecting party that sold little White girls for the Pakistani postal vote. That’s why @LucyMPowell turns off replies to her posts. Ridiculous isn’t it, an elected representative turning off replies to her posts to avoid hearing the truth of what happened to over 100,000 little White girls.

@ZackPolanski 😂😂 Are you fucking thick on purpose, Dave? We ship LNG from Qatar & the USA (£12bn). We import gas & oil from Norway (£40bn). Wouldn't it be good if we had the taxes from homegrown gas & oil? My dog is smarter than you on economics. Yer thick twat.

@crit_gen You can trust him not to protect the perpetrators of sexual abuse especially in North Lanarkshire

If you earn over £100k and can't save £1k for an event you had 5 years notice of then why should we trust you with government budgets?
