Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

It would be a big political mistake to do away with the triple lock on pensions while maintaining the compulsory foreign "aid" budget. Like the family allowance, there are no doubt people that don't rely upon the state pension but it must be kept for those for whom it is the only income. It is a miserable amount as it is.

PENSIONS
a bit of an odd decision to scrap the triple-lock if that is indeed the case, even if there is a counter-balance of some kind

It's a curious time to say you are stopping the triple, almost as if they are trying to lose.

Or, the opposition being so poor, they think they can get away with anything.

Another thing gets me ,when they said that they can't promise not to raise taxes and then next day say it doesn't necessarily mean we are going to raise taxes . It's not very good when you don't think about what you are saying , they must know the press are onto this sort of thing , very poor i think .

oversea aid should be scraped we need to look after our people and put more money into hospitals

for those that retired pre 2016 its a very poor pension of 119 a week it a disgrace

arsehole
have you no understanding at all why foreign aid is given?

while some - far too much - may be purloined by the gov'ts in question, aid is a way of oiling the wheels, to put it crudely

you mean so rich people can use those countries for their own gains

???????????????

at least mine had some continuity of logic

anyway, clearly you have no understanding as to why aid is given

if you do not like abusive posts then do not post abusive posts
I have my right to say if I disagree with over sea aid its my right

What was the reason for giving money to a guinea pig farm in some South
American country????????

What was the reason for giving over 8 million pounds to an African (spice)
girl band????

There is numerous other examples of wasted British taxpayer's money...

What is the point of giving China oversea's aid...China's a lot richer then the UK.

gran you are wasting your time you will never get a good answer .

why is Poland taking 11b in payments from the eu via our money they do not put one penny into the system

Are you talking about bribery and backhanders to overseas' friends in hope of reciprocity?

Sounds familiar.

What are the tories, UKippers and fellow runners UKI offering to their punters at the moment?

Pay stub politics comes to mind.

Strange old world.
