This is a picture of the biggest benefits claimant in the UK.
They claim an eye watering £17,500,000,000 a year.
The same as 4.4m people on benefits.
How?
Because they claim ALL their costs, every wage, every oil rig, every tanker.
Completely nationalised, but the profits are Privatised.

Today I walked the 5.8 miles to work. From Withington, through Moss Side & Hulme- the bit Sir 'Jim Rat' has never visited [& never will]. The Claremont pub is still serving, and the area's alright, if a little run down. The final shot is of 'Jim's World', of bribery & money.
The outpouring of love for Mani has been truly moving 💔- a few years ago Mani came over to Liverpool to the @jacrecordstore to talk about the #LFC#MUFC rivalry for @LFCTV - he was absolutely brilliant, a class act - if you get a chance watch it here 👇

Hats-off to those who won our freedom 80 years ago today then at the first opportunity voted to create the NHS and a generous welfare state as part of a civilising new settlement which those most concerned with banging-on about the war today later voted over and over to destroy.
⚡️🇮🇱JUST IN: Israeli Member of Knesset from Netenhayu’s own party Moshe Saada:
“It’s our duty to exile the Gazans, their are 10 countries willing to take them “
-Do you understand the implications of you saying that ?
“Yes, I will starve residents of Gaza, yes indeed — it is our duty. I want to starve the residents of Gaza, to impose a full, full siege.”
-You’re not worried about international criticism?
“Come on that’s boring , we need to take care of the Jews”
Trump 🇺🇸 & Netanyahu 🇮🇱 have already decided on the future of Gaza 🇵🇸:
•Not confident in the ceasefire
•It’s “their war”
•Gaza 🇵🇸is “a demolition site”
•It’s “very interesting. Best weather. Best location.”
This genocide has always been a land grab.
