Social Justice Wario

@WestminsterWAG @GWRHelp Ahaha hilarious, the entitlement.

@GWRHelp I had a reservation for later but had to go back early

Standing room only on @GWRHelp to London from Par in Cornwall. £80 for a one way ticket, and they can’t even supply a seat.

@RupertLowe10 Shall we start with the triple lock then?

Britain needs brutal, brutal cuts - right across the board. It is the ONLY way to avoid absolute economic catastrophe. We are BROKE. It won’t win many votes, but it’s the grim truth. Afuera on olympic-busting steroids.

@LeilaniDowding More valid points than the usual shite you post but you forgot to mention we've had one of the driest springs on record, and several heatwaves. Disingenuous grifting as usual.

It’s Britain it will always rain!! We are trusting the experts (the water company bosses) to collect the water while they put our water bills up 30% 3 billion litres of WATER leaks a DAY 35 reservoirs sold in 5 years No resevoirs made since the 90s 11 million more people. Ask yourself why there’s hose pipe bans

@Jenny_1884 Hilarious all those who voted Brexit seem to want to leave now. Dumbest bunch of big babies going.

If you could afford to would you consider leaving the UK now? 🇬🇧

@JLeighB4 @lewis_goodall This would be quite funny...If we lived in a reality where the Tories hadn't trashed our economy.

No, it really shouldn’t.

@FA03082 @Astaight123 @GrumpyOldGit5 @ajbates86 @Liesl_RW @Elainebks @garygilligan The fact is a factory worker was able to buy a house back then. People were able to buy a house on one income. These days you've got no chance, need 2 decent earners in a family to get something very modest.

@Astaight123 @GrumpyOldGit5 @ajbates86 @Liesl_RW @Elainebks @garygilligan Not it isn't. Why use an average? You don't know how much working class people worked in the 50s to 70s. Life was very different to now. Its much easier now. Have you ever worked 12 hour shifts in a factory? Days & nights? Often cycling or taking buses? And looking after kids?

@GrumpyOldGit5 @Astaight123 @ajbates86 @Liesl_RW @Elainebks @garygilligan No-ones crying about it you wally, just pointing out the bull-headed ignorance and lack of self-awareness of your ilk. The silver spoon generation. No one will ever have it so easy again. You've fucked the planet and fucked the economy. Congratulations.

@wariochad @Astaight123 @ajbates86 @Liesl_RW @Elainebks @garygilligan Because it’s true for every generation. My parents made over 1000% profit on their first house, so what? You think crying about it is the response of a sentient adult?

@jessica_barberi @Liesl_RW Completely. And it needs to be fixed, the issue is if prices come down (which they do need to) myself and others who've bought their first homes in the last few years are going to get screwed. People who've owned a house for decades can take a hit, others can't.

@Liesl_RW Bought my first house in 2012 for 80k, though I made a killing selling it in 2016 for 160k. It sold just recently for 300k... the housing market is whacked.

@Astaight123 @GrumpyOldGit5 @ajbates86 @Liesl_RW @Elainebks @garygilligan Why do the older generation just refuse to admit that it is significantly harder for young people today than it was for them? It doesn't reduce the hardships they went through at that time, but in general it is so much harder today. They hate to admit but they had it far easier.

@GrumpyOldGit5 @ajbates86 @Liesl_RW @Elainebks @garygilligan Yes and it’s significantly worse now? Higher price on the house, higher mortgage payments, higher rental prices meaning it takes longer to save to buy, higher % of salary taken by household bills, higher costs in every other area such as food, fuel/public transport.

@B0mberHarris @BlueSky14298 @MartinSLewis Classic blue tick wanker BlueSkies, replies to my comment then blocks me 😂

@B0mberHarris @BlueSky14298 @MartinSLewis Calm down and take your meds pal.

I wouldn't ever want to be Chancellor for all the money in the world. Incredibly tough job. Impossible ask. Especially over the last decade. How do you try to piece together the mis-shapen, independent jigsaw pieces of consumer issues, business, the economy, bond markets, stock markets, job markets, world economies, tariffs, and more. People often lambast Chancellors as 'unqualified' but no one is qualified to do such a broad job. Ultimately it is a political role for someone with hopefully some understanding of wider economic, financial and consumer issues. We have to give some respect to those who try, even if we disagree with their decisions. As no one will ever get it all right.

@Starmers1984 @MartinSLewis The deep state 😂

“How do you try to piece together the mis-shapen, independent jigsaw pieces of consumer issues, business, the economy, bond markets, stock markets, job markets, world economies, tariffs, and more?” 1. Dismantle the deep state 2. Appoint an economically literate person that has at least run a business

@BlueSky14298 @MartinSLewis 14.75% for train drivers after 5 years of a pay freeze whilst inflation ran up double that. Hardly colossal. It ended 2 years of strikes due to Tory ineptitude. She has had the impossible task of cleaning up the Tories mess after 14 years of corruption and mismanagement.

I agree, to a point. However, this chancellor has punished the most hard working and has had scant regard for those who have and continue to contribute to the country's purse. She has been almost scornful of her electorate and Labour has reneged on so much of what Labour said the tories were bad for. Council tax, the elderly, farming. Employer NIC will continue to damage companies and employment. And colossal pay rises for NHS and train drivers because the unions shout louder than anyone else. And so much more. There has been no respect shown. She had her cronies have simply given away so much of what we stand for and we will pay forever. If she is experiencing personal issues, experience them, privately. But don't expect the public to sympathise, where she has lied about her ability to do the job, about a 'black hole' that largely didn't exist and treated us all with contempt. We can't afford this party's spending habits. She is responsible for those. I have no time for the woman, at all.

@LBC Fk off Philp you reactionary chud. Irrelevant Tories still trying to grift this one's thicker than a loaf 🍞

BBC must stop broadcasting Glastonbury: Hate speech can never have a national platform, writes Chris Philp lbc.co.uk/opinion/views/…

@IrishmanAboard @Biedaboo @BenKentish This is the simple point that so many people fail to understand. Pensions in a nutshell are robbing Peter to pay Paul. The problem now is Paul wants too much and Peter's struggling to pay.

@Biedaboo @BenKentish People don’t pay for them all their working lives. They pay for other peoples pensions while they work and then expect the working people to pay them once they retire

Everyone arguing that the £48bn a year the UK spends on benefits for sick and disabled people is “unsustainable” should be asked how they would describe the £175bn a year (and rapidly rising) spend on pensioner benefits.

@RobertJenrick @iamtomskinner Look at how uncomfortably Jenrick holds that pint 😂

End tool theft. BOSH @iamtomskinner 💥💥💥

@Graham03023795 @MugglestoneIan @BarristersHorse @BenKentish Well that's just silly.

@wariochad @MugglestoneIan @BarristersHorse @BenKentish You need to start killing us off then. When do you propose? Day after retirement? Take us straight to the euthanasia clinc instead of the retirement home? Or how about just killing us off when the kids leave home? That would free up housing!

Young person working all hours God sends just to cover the rent, while paying record levels of tax? Want to ever have a hope of buying a house? Work harder. Over-65 enjoying the benefits of your private pension/dividends/property rent on your latest Mediterranean cruise? Great, here's another £200 a year from the taxpayer.

@MugglestoneIan @DianeLBW @BarristersHorse @BenKentish Aha banter.

@wariochad @DianeLBW @BarristersHorse @BenKentish They also paid for your health care, the infrastructure you used and for your education. It's a pity not everyone made use of it!

@DianeLBW @MugglestoneIan @BarristersHorse @BenKentish The paltry amount paid in over a 40 year career was never meant to last 20-30 years of retirement. Plus you don't pay for your pension, today's taxpayers do. You are taking more than you paid in, especially once inflation is accounted for. As you were.

@wariochad @MugglestoneIan @BarristersHorse @BenKentish They paid into the tax system for 40 years plus so they owe the taxpayer zilch.

@MugglestoneIan @BarristersHorse @BenKentish Yeah but they're living too long, they spend the retirement savings as they retired at 60, then they get health conditions and cost the taxpayer a fortune. Then they go into care and any wealth they had is spent paying for them as they wait to die. It's harsh, but true.

The Baby Boomers are like the food in the belly of the snake. For decades, it has been working its way towards the end and the remnants are coming out now in a continual rush What does Ben think will happen to those legacies after the Boomers die (apart from the Government 'stealing' 40%)? Offspring will move into some, thus releasing their own properties. Others will be liquidated (sold off). No one should be surprised if, soon, many property sales will be of existing, not new-build, stock
