Marginalised and Bemused

Politically homeless, long-suffering York City FC fan who has absolutely no time whatsoever for Covid - 19 deniers, lockdown breakers, BoJo The Clown or Sunak.

@RishiSunak "Scouts honour, I promise to never be ashamed of going private ever again!" Shouldn't it just be normal?

[Marginalised and Bemused @MarginalisedH]

@ScottBentonMP They aren't paid enough though are they! Hence the strikes.

@PeterStefanovi2 @SkyNews @BBCBreakfast Disgusting and repugnant come to mind when I see this poor excuse for a government minister on TV.

[Dominic Cummings @Dominic2306]

Tell your friends: the Tories are making the young - who can't get a house & working for average/below average income, already screwed by a decade of hapless Tory government - to work harder to subsidise older richer people. They promised to do the opposite #RegimeChange

[💙Rachael Maskell MP @RachaelMaskell]

Well there you have it, the Tories have just broken their election pledge & put up taxes, hitting the lower paid & businesses hardest. Good luck to them explaining that to their voters. I'd prefer a progressive wealth tax & windfall to those that profited from covid contracts.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

I just voted against the disgraceful Tory tax hikes on working people.

Shamefully, Tory MPs voted it through.

The Tories could have backed a Wealth Tax instead - they didn't because the Tories exist to serve the interests of the super-rich.

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

You can’t fund social care by making the poor pay for the rich.

It’s time for a wealth tax.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

The wealth of the top 1,000 Britons alone surged by 21% - or £106.5bn - during the pandemic.

Clobbering the young and low paid to solve the social care crisis isn’t inevitable. It’s a political choice to protect the booming wealthy who the Tories represent.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

If we put a 10% tax on the wealth of those with over £100m, we would raise £69 billion.

A Wealth Tax is how we should fund much-needed investment in social care - not a hike in National Insurance contributions that will hit the lowest paid.

[Kevin Maguire @Kevin_Maguire]

Minimum wage £8.91 an hour carers paying higher NI to protect £1m+ inheritances of wealthier families is Boris Johnson levelling down.

@anointedpoet101 @BlondeBits @melraunch1 @MarcusRashford No it's not! Ask the millions who are less fortunate trying to survive on disability benefits and such like. If one isn't happy with one's middle class lifestyle - yearning for more. Then get down to the nearest soup kitchen and take a reality check my friend!

[Marginalised and Bemused @MarginalisedH]

@BlondeBits @melraunch1 @MarcusRashford Firstly, clam down, calm down. Put your degree to good use then, go and look for better paid work. You should be grateful that you are privileged enough to be in such a fortunate position - clearly millions of others aren't but they don't come on Twitter looking for sympathy.

[Marginalised and Bemused @MarginalisedH]

@verydanimary @BlondeBits @melraunch1 @MarcusRashford We all are aren't we? Except for a privileged few of course. She's better off than millions - spare a thought for those others who don't go on Twitter moaning about their plight. Such as the vulnerable, the disabled and the unemployed!

[Marginalised and Bemused @MarginalisedH]

@Miverick @BlondeBits @melraunch1 @MarcusRashford What I said was why not take the glass half full approach. She's earning money so be grateful. And if she isn't happy then get out of the kitchen! There are millions less fortunate than her so she needs to move on if she's so unhappy in her job - simple as that my friend.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Please tell me this is a deep fake done by the Russians to undermine credibility in our government, our politics and our way of life

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Just opened a packet of paracetamol. Or ‘a new hospital’ as Sajid Javid would call it.

[Jon Harding 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💚❤️🇵🇸 @_i0n]

A Single person under 25 on Universal Credit currently receives £11.09 per day

The Tories have decided to put this down to £8.30 per day

A 25% reduction

That's not levelling up

That's cruelty

[Marginalised and Bemused @MarginalisedH]

@MickCordukes I see your point. However, PL clubs receive astronomical amounts through TV deals etc. Gate receipts aren't that huge relatively speaking. Whereas for YCFC, gate receipts are their biggest income by far. All York City's other income (if any) is peanuts relative to NUFC.

Hypocrisy in the extreme
