@JohnFielder1 Are you mentally deficient? Can you not discern the difference between wages for work you’ve carried out & a tax payer funded lifestyle you simpleton?

@grumpypleb If someone is on a wage, should their boss tell them how to spend it all?

If somebody is on benefits their lifestyle should be audited at the end of the year. Went on holiday with your whole family? That’s £2000 less next year. You’ve got a full sky tv package? That’s £1200 less next year. Bought a brand new iPhone £1000 less next year. If you’re on

@Yorkylad46 1) my wife 2) wages for police are +20% behind where they should be if they had kept pace with private sector payrises. 3) blue light card discounts apply to NHS, fire service & are genuinely not much better than a loyalty scheme most people can sign up to. 4) company shops??!!

@grumpypleb Who only works 35 hrs per week in the private sector? How do you know you require a 20% payrise for the role you do? You have job security access to items like blue light cards giving you 10% off a lot of stuff Company shops where you need to be a member in public employ

So as a police officer I can then expect a 35 hour work week, industrial rights, join a union, a near 20% pay increase, a bonus each year, a pay increase for each currently voluntary role/training I take on. Swings & roundabouts.

@JasonOw55271825 Exactly.

@grumpypleb The same people cheering on a wealth tax for millionaires don’t realise that it won’t end with millionaires…

Remember when police officers had their pensions fucked over by the government half way through their service & all the public went on about was “gold plated pensions”, didn’t care & said we deserved it? Did they think the government wouldn’t do the same to their state pension?

Remember when the government told us they need foreigners to come to the country to help pay taxes & the state pension. Now they’re making you work longer to pay for the foreigners.

benefits you should be at the most basic standard of living & not enjoying luxuries in life most working families can’t afford.

“Grok, show me a video of a bunch of clap happy sheep who dont live in the real world nor have any connection to the general public they’re supposed to serve. “

Healthy life expectancy for males in scotland is an average 59 years old. Actual life expectancy in Glasgow for a male is 74. Work from 18 years old for 50 years to either never see your state pension or get a few years before you die. Nice.

Instead of the cunt asking more from Britons he should be asking what can be cut from others? Foreign aid for a fucking start! NGO’s Quangos

The world won’t wait on America forever. We can either lead the way on digital assets by passing the Clarity Act, or watch as someone else sets the rules of global finance for us.

Fucking bullshit. It was a money grab by the worlds rulers to line their own pockets & those of their friends. WEF & IMF told governments to spend as much as they could to hasten the introduction of the new digital financial system.

The World Bank ranked every country on earth for practical solar potential. Britain came second from bottom. Not second from bottom in Europe. On the planet. Out of everywhere they measured, the only place with worse conditions for a solar panel is Ireland. Norway is above us. Norway, where the sun clocks off entirely for part of the year, is a better bet than Lincolnshire. The reasons are not a mystery. We sit at 53 degrees north, the same line as Edmonton, Alberta. The sun in December gets about as high as a first-floor window and then thinks better of it. And there's the cloud, which is not a detail, it is the national personality. A square metre of London gets 0.52 kilowatt hours of sunlight a day in December and 4.74 in July, so the panel does nine times less work in the month your heating is on than in the month it isn't. Across the whole of 2024, British solar ran at 9.5% of what it's rated at. The other 90.5% is a photograph of a power station. Now the other column. The ground we're bolting it to is Trent valley silt and Lincolnshire fen. Some of it took three hundred years to drain. It grows wheat at yields that most of the planet cannot get near, in a climate so reliably damp that grass grows here without anyone asking it to, which is the entire reason this island has cattle and cheese and a butcher. So we are, measurably, one of the worst places on earth for sunlight and one of the best on earth for food. And we've had a good long look at both of those numbers and gone with sunlight. Somewhere in Namibia, which the same report ranked first, there is a patch of absolutely nothing, in full sun, wondering what it did wrong.

@pe_nng Don’t forget a PM who’s allowed the boatloads of foreign rapists to continue coming to the uk relieving France of the burden.

As President of France I too would give whatever PM killed off the Royal Navy the Légion d’Honneur

@alexmassie Says the man sitting behind a comfy desk who’s probably never done a genuine weeks hard graft on a building site. Savings in the budget need to be made elsewhere. Let’s start with foreign aid & housing illegal immigrants. You look after your own before welcoming the world.

Good. But only a start. The state pension age needs to rise further and faster.

£bn’s thrown at illegal immigrants when we won’t even look after our own. Fucking shameful.

@IngrameThomas If the illegal immigrant invasion has proven anything it’s that successive governments could have solved our own homeless problem years ago if they had thrown as much funding at it as they have putting up 3rd world degenerates in hotels.

I don’t know about you folks but I struggle with this .. Our own people sleeping in pods on the street while people ( illegal asylum seekers ) are provided full accommodation and hot meals , there’s no sleeping in the street in a pod for them .. Glasgow city council declared itself a sanctuary city for asylum seekers knowing full well the consequences are our own sleeping in the streets .. I honestly don’t understand how the politicians at Glasgow city council can make such decisions that cause pain and suffering to our own people .. why were they allowed to make such decisions??? It’s appalling.

The demand to see ‘THE ODYSSEY’ in IMAX 70mm is so high that fans are taking cross-country trips to see the film. One fan even delayed her pregnancy — “We have to wait a few months. Otherwise, it's going to be too close to ‘The Odyssey.’” (Source: variety.com/2026/film/news…)
