20% of pensioners live below the poverty line

It’s more like 17% and equates to about 1.9 million people.

More worrying is the 31% of children that live in poverty which equates to about 4.5 million children.

Give it a couple of weeks and the Gendarmes will strike. The French often talk a good game only to not deliver.

Hopefully it makes a difference, but still believe we should put the Royal Navy in channel and turn back boats.

That would be the natural conclusion of the Brexit.

Good, and deport them when the sentence is over.

Good, and deport them when the sentence is over.

Problem is that one is being deported immediately. Unlikely to serve the sentence handed down in his own country, so will probably try to make his way over again as a free man. Not sure what the alternative is with full prisons and incurring costs, but I doubt it feels like justice to the victim.

Not a single small boat arrival for a month.

Have Labour stopped the boats? Have the French started playing their part? Or has rain stopped play?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Not sure these figures even exist but I would love to know how much we spend each year on pensioners in end of life care who, to be frank, would rather be allowed to die.

My Dads in to year 4 of end of life care. I pay 4 figures a month towards the cost, even through it really should be covered by the NHS, but I'm aware I'm not paying even 50% of the actual cost. There is zero benefit in keeping him alive, he has no clue where he is, no idea who anyone else is, is bed bound, can't see, can't hear and when awake is pretty much in a constant state of distress.

There's 24 people in my Dads care home, so relatively small, but you're still looking at millions a year. Scale that up over the whole country and that's a lot of money.

Every single relative you speak to will tell you the same thing. That their parent / grandparent would not want to live like that yet nobody seems to want to have a discussion about alternatives.

Just to be clear not counting this as a drain on society or suggesting we start culling people but from whatever perspective you look at it not sure the current system works for anyone.

Going through this with my Dad has made me look into alternatives for myself, which would be a trip to Switzerland, but it’s near impossible to arrange without putting other people in fear of prosecution.

Bless you so sad

Cab’t say I know for certain but don’t they tend to slow/stop at this time of year because of the weather?

You’d think there’d be a limited number of people
Unfortunately due to our inability as a human race to take appropriate actions to prevent disastrous climate change this will be in the millions over the coming decades

This has to be the most rediculous post on here! Are you deliberately wumming?

You clearly have absolutely no idea how the economy functions.

It is not how it functions, only an idiot would believe that the government maintains a large pension savings account paid for by pensioners years ago. If it was the case, the arguments over the size of the welfare bill would be pretty redundant.

 

[PVA]

Certainly slows down.

But for the same period that there have been zero crossings this year, there were 1,037 people arriving by boat last year.

Probably weather related given how wet it's been in recent weeks.

Can't believe that those smugglers have a heart? Unbelievable that they don't risk a crossing?🫣

Probably not a good look for business if they all drown. Also, supply and demand I guess.

That's the opposite of what im saying!

There is no seperate pot of cash for pensions or anything else for that matter.

There is just a tax take of national wealth (at 100% eventually) that has to be circulated, unfortunately this government along with previous government's cant manage it.
