Exclusive: a Hawk T2 getting airborne from RAF Valley, N. Wales. As it rolls down the runway flames appear from the rear of the jet. The Hawk T2 does not have reheat (afterburner). As the jet climbs the flames seem to disappear. The main Hydraulic system is on the rear left side.
@David_R_0980@hargthewizard And what about those who work but are below that £20k threshold? Are we just forgetting about them? Another policy to help the silver-spooned generation. My generation is going to be the first in history to be economically poorer than the last yet everyone wants to help them.
@paulvisionofyou@ollieb997@David_R_0980 Sounds to me like they’ve had the silver spoon taken off them and about time too. It’s not my fault they didn’t contribute into a private pension
@David_R_0980@hargthewizard And how do you bring it up to that level without putting the burden on the current workforce? Surely that includes making it means tested and scrapping the triple lock
@MaybeImABot@HelenMagi@CCFCMando Also Betty will be posting on Facebook telling us how she afforded a house and worked when she was 25 and everyone needs to cut back. Well I think Betty needs to free up her assets to fund her life style
@DaleBland6@Jenny_1884@stephenhdg The population has increased because people are living longer. 9 million people claiming it and it still costs half the amount of the state pension.
@Jenny_1884@stephenhdg Maybe if the state pension was under control then maybe we could. It makes up 50% of the welfare bill and has rose by 10% & 6% in recent years. Long term with an aging population and less people being of working age is a fiscal time bomb.
@HelenMagi@DamianLow3 It makes up 50% of the welfare bill yet we chastise those on other benefits as lazy and scroungers yet no one dare upset the pensioners in case they lose votes in the next election.
@HelenMagi@CCFCMando Handed to them on a platter with regards to housing and it’s still not good enough. Letting them buy the council houses at rock bottom prices was another failure of Thatcher.
