    Personally couldn’t live with myself going from cradle to grave on handouts never having worked a day. Maybe i am a bit old fashioned like that. I dont have an issue with people playing the stock markets. At least they are paying their way tax wise. As for People not wanting to work because...

    The (scapegoat) chair of the OBR has fallen on his sword following the early release of the budget. Its a shame that Rachel from accounts and her boss don't have the same sense. I wonder how much pressure the government have put on him to walk.

    The whole Idea of the welfare state was to help people through short term hard times. It wasn't set up as a lifestyle which for some (too many in my eyes) people it has clearly become. Currently it promotes a dependance on the state and a care free attitude that someone will pay for their life...

    If they can afford to spend most of their PIP on a high end car then it could be viewed that the really didn’t need the PIP in the first place or at least the amount they are getting.

    It may well be but seeing unemployed neighbours driving brand new luxury cars only advertises the benefits of not working to others. Its certainly not what the benefits system was intended to do.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I do think that if you are already in the system (and know what to claim for) then you are pretty much onto a reasonable amount. If you are trying to get onto anything then it seems to be a different matter. The fact that they have pulled the plug on people getting BMW's, Mercs, Lexi, and Alfa's...

    There is also a levy on businesses energy bills to pay for Sizewell C that was inserted without much notice. Its not a huge levy but will have an impact on companies who use a lot of energy in their processes. Yet another stealth tax imposed that puts pressure financially on businesses when they...

    I was talking to a couple of their supporters after the game on they way back to the car and they were great. Same last year too and after the play off semi final loads of them were congratulating us was we walked by their pub. Always found them some of the better ones to be honest but the kids...

    The aim on both sides improved dramatically as it went on. There was a long range pearler that got someone going down the steps in their end.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I would think better than full capitulation followed by thousands of mass graves dotted around.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    If we don't support Ukraine then it won't just be soldiers that die (not that it is anyway with Russia bombing civilians) there, there will be a genocide there the likes of which haven't been seen in Europe since the 1940's and history will look even worse than us sitting on our hands...
