Cost of Living Crisis

Pussy! I was working till 7am! :stuck_out_tongue:

Counting sheep!

You work nights!

@Mascot @Klopptimist you both make good points on a subject i have experience with!

It can feel embarrassing to have to use a token or card that is provided for people in particular financial / social circumstances.

I am classed as Limited capability for work and work related activity. This mean we are entitled to ā€˜healthy startā€™ in respect of my youngest children (twins). It is about Ā£34 every 4 weeks that used to be paid by paper voucher and now it is done by electronic card.

The issue with the scheme in my eyes is that some shops will accept the card/voucher for anything in the shopā€¦ whereas it is meant to be for milk veg and fruit.

Whilst you both have good pointsā€¦ it will still come down to the end retailer and how that money is accepted and what for.

Making music is easy, I just eat a nice curry but also have been known to clap my hands, make silly sounds from my armpits, whistle ā€¦

Thereā€™s never been a government figure released which has been massaged, altered or sphere changed to look good on paper. EVER.

Why would any government want to advertise the enormity of tax evasion compared to benefit fraud? Especially a tory government.
These figures come from a wide range of sources and multiple studies. It is a generally accepted fact that tax evasion is hugely more expensive than benefit fraud. It may not fit your narrative, but it is how it is.

Energy shortages, blackouts , strikes and poverty. The Tories weā€™re aiming for Thatchers 80s but looks like the UK is heading back to the 70s !

Iā€™m still struggling to get my head around how these people in powerful positions are honestly not troubled by this. And you can extend that to many policy by this government.

I still canā€™t get my head around Sunaks comments. Itā€™s like having a room in your house that needs some serious upkeep and redecoration but you decide to put another new kitchen instead of tackling that room, despite having done the kitchen up 6 months ago already.

maybe not so much ā€˜let em do what they wantā€™

more, dont waste a second of YOUR life being negatively affected by someone who is doing fuck all with theirs.

i have a similar tendancy to get all ranty if i let myself as it does seem unfair, but i ask myself, (in Aus its something like a cent or two out of every tax dollar you pay (for welfare)) do i tolerate 10 scroungers to supply a safety net for 1 honest person who needs it to get back on thier feetā€¦absolutely i do. 100 fucking %.

Hell of a difference between benefit fraud and millions living off the state as a lifestyle choice. But thatā€™s always somebody elseā€™s fault.

Will be forecast at Ā£5k in a few weeks.

Jerking off 10 times a day?

sorry, maybe im missing something, but isnt living off the state as a lifestyle choice actually benefit fraud?

or do you maybe mean people doing cash work and still claiming benefits?
