@exRAF_Al If you don't have any tradies in the family or close family friends how're you meant to do that? Schools almost always push you into uni

Should have learned a trade instead? I know a bricklayer who last week, secured himself a mortgage for a cracking three bedroom home after a year of overtime. If you repay a student loan and want to live in Canary Wharf, your problems have nothing to do with boomers.
Luke Robert Black 🌳@lukerobertblack
Ah yes - Sandy. A young and aspirational graduate, say, with a job at the Barclays in Canary Wharf, should definitely move a 3-hour commute away from London - to a place where they have no friends, no family and no support network.

@gotrice2024 You wouldn’t buy a car in bits if you didn’t know how to build one, so why buy a kitchen???
English
This family just got an IKEA kitchen delivered to their new home. It’s 210 packages, and many people say the instructions are almost nonexistent, it’s just diagrams.
He’s going to have to unbox every part and arrange it in a way that can be identified so that will help with the frustration, many people who bought this quit out of frustration and tried to return it.
Whenever people order kitchen sets like this, should it at least come with better instructions or at least a video, have you ever tried to put something together and the instructions weren’t clear and you ended up messing it up?

@BenGrahamUK Not sure what’s worse… The security tags or that shitty piece of steak is £7.25!

Britain has become so lawless that we now have to put security tags on £7.25 steaks.
What has happened to this country?

@Emperormarkus78 @ReemAmirIbrahim How much NI do you actually contribute?
Are you tha skint you want to volunteer having no pension when your older to save a few quid now???
Strange folk u lot are
English
I think the best thing to do here is to index state pensions back to when contributions were made, factor in all the stupid financial decisions governments they voted for did, and take a 50 percent haircut if they voted for Brexit. If that pension is not enough then they should have mandatory reverse mortgages applied.
That would be fairest on young people trying to make a living whilst supporting old people.
English
Why should young people have to pay for someone else’s retirement?
If you live in a million pound house, and you can’t afford to retire, sell the house. Or don’t. I don’t care. You just can’t expect young people to pay for you!
Sophie Corcoran@sophielouisecc
No. I don’t think pensioners should have to sell their houses to retire

@Investor_Miller @HeatherBo63 My old man died at 58, how’s your theory working?!

Don't want to get into a bun fight here but why am I reading posts from younger people complaining about people getting a state pension?
Errrr, this is how it has always been. When we're young, we work hard for years and then we reach an age where we receive a pension and it's the next generation's turn.
What is it with a lot of younger people nowadays (god, I sound like my dad!), they want it all and would be happy if we just kicked the bucket when we retire.
I receive my state pension in November this year and I'm bloomin' well not going to feel guilty about it. I would never have complained about this when I was younger and working full time. Never even considered it.

@Theo_Griffiths Best years 😂😂 it was like a year topa and you gave up fuck all
English
young people like me gave up their best years to protect older generations in the pandemic - how have we been repaid since?
Politics UK@PolitlcsUK
🚨 WATCH: Robert Jenrick says younger people want their parents and grandparents to have a "decent retirement" "A lot of people who have pretty comfortable lives seem to want to take away a decent state pension from people who are finding life actually difficult"

@BBLouisR @PrincePatel1993 I ain’t mad… what is mad is that you’re checking out my profile pic. It’s 5 years ago anyway. You should see what I ride on now…

@Gilb0803 @PrincePatel1993 Why you mad? Is it because his car is better than the car you’ve got in your profile pic 🙈

So why don't you interview me the first and only Indian Commonwealth and World champion instead of a thug who threatened to hit you? The masses want to know

Happy to show , the bits that weren’t shown …. That will make wilder look a bigger moron , than he already does .. He lied about saying I was told not to ask about fury . He turned a reasonable question about fury, a subject he has advanced into a race related rant . Threatened to punch me , screamed and hollered and makes out now he’s misrepresented 🤡🤡🤡🤡

@ReemAmirIbrahim @Cray_tweets1 £1.3e12 - £1.3T!!!! This is the number as an approx calculated figure for NI contributions of the 13million over 65’s during their working life.
How much did the Asylum seeker contribute??
English
State pension: £146 billion
Asylum seeker hotels: £2.1 billion
Sophie Corcoran@sophielouisecc
Young people Pensioners getting a pension they can live off of after working their whole damn lives - is not an attack on us It is the hotel dwellers and those that can’t be arsed to work - that we have to pay for that are the problem That is the actual unfairness here
English
@Keir_Starmer He’s absolutely on the button!!!!
The HSE and welfare regulations throughout this country is what is causing the overinflated maintenance and remedial costs provided!!!!!
This makes maintaining high standards the country unsustainable

What's missing from this banging full English breakfast?

@lukerobertblack There is nothing normal about this… I for one would love a PM who wasn’t bullied at school cause for certain this clown would have been!!
English
There’s really nothing wrong with this. We say want “down to earth” and “relatable politicians” yet hate it when they act like normal people. We afford of them next to no privacy, perks or privileges of a role that’s underpaid and stressful - and yet complain we get careerists.

Hutchinson was class tonight.
Neutralised Taylor, then had fun for the rest of the night.
Looked so comfortable in there.
Hope he gets a life changing opportunity.
He’s been beaten, written off and never made excuses or sulked.. just got on with it and got the wins.

@Ole_is_right Some people thinks he’s “terrible” some think he’s a “demon” I jus think he adds some quality to an average Utd squad so it can only be useful that he’s in the squad

I get that even a broken clock is right twice per day.
But Amorim got *everything* wrong while he was at United.
How do some people think that getting rid of this demon, was the exception to that?

The England fans booed Ben White when he made his first international appearance in four years.
How does he respond?
He scores his first ever England goal from a corner.
Ben White. What a boy.

@JamesMelville If he wasn’t such a wanker of feel sorry for him! He can’t run, he can’t control the ball, maybe he’s the guy who brings the ball cause what other reason would you have that dufus on your pitch

Starmer playing football. The game passes him by. He’s probably one of those shite, talentless footballers who can only contribute by barking orders and taking all the throw ins…because it’s the only way they become visible during a game.
