@Bendover749@eleanorzjames@SkyNews 4k lower rate attendance allowance (paid almost without question), up to 5k pension credit, up to 10k housing benefit, plus the state pension, takes it to at least 27k. It did in this lady’s case and does in millions more.
@eleanorzjames@SkyNews All pensioners without their own house or private pension do. 27k a year. And then they try to cut the winter fuel allowance and its uproar. I just feel for the younger generation who are being screwed over. I’ve had 4 relatives getting the same and they left thousands in cash
@aitch_R_aitch@SkyNews I’ve had 4 lovely aunties and grans pass away. So poor they wouldn’t put the heating on and ate tinned potatoes and spam. Each of them collected thousands in benefits, left thousand in cash and bought us expensive presents. There’s nothing left to help young people. Scandalous
@aitch_R_aitch@SkyNews Yes sad. Re your point - as soon as governments try to cut any benefits for OAPs there is massive uproar but I have NEVER met a poor pensioner. Those without their own savings and house receive about 27k a year but all we hear is about is pensioner poverty. Don’t make me laugh.
@SAFCNathn Fucking joke. All season, Mulrennan has ridden American Affair by tugging him back and finding trouble. And the one day I haven’t got any money? 😂
@BBCNews If I was captain of a sinking ship with 1,000 passengers and only 500 lifeboat spaces, I’d tell anyone who has ever trolled the McCanns with sick jokes or called them murderers to stay behind. A completely foolproof way to ensure you're saving the better half of humanity.
@quantamfuture@KEdge23@Steven_Swinford You’re right. Fucking conservatives were in government (and in power at my local council) when my dads house had to be sold making me homeless with no inheritance.
@Steven_Swinford Great. So I’ll be screwed over twice. Firstly, when the council unknowingly put a charge on my Dad’s house to pay for his care home and sold it while I was living there leaving me homeless and without an inheritance. And secondly, when I have to pay more tax in future. Great.
@AndrewJMullen Cause the pub is full of mysogonistic vile cretins who talk the same way about their ‘missus’ at home. I’m a bloke and I have to listen to them. Then they start crying when their ‘missus’ bins them off to find a decent bloke. Grow up mate and join the post Neanderthal age
@BenColeyGolf When does the best putter in the world become 45th out of 74 at the weekend in Canada? …When we are on him of course. And he’ll probably hole a few on the 16th, 17th and 18th just to rub salt into the wound 😂
@BenColeyGolf I didn’t realise Noren was playing in the British Masters but I did him in Crans where he missed the cut! Today I decided I couldn’t handle him winning again so I did a small double with Scottie tonight which hopefully will cushion the blow. A bit late to watch though.
@ZiaYusufUK FFS. Boris was going to have world-leading this and world- beating that - and now you are going to have something galactic ! I’d settle for competent
@BenColeyGolf@BenColeyGolf surprised there‘s mention of Alex Fitzpatrick, I was sick when I saw he‘d won but it’s my fault for not checking the field or the book. On another point, I thought the Golf Channels serious commentary and Camilo Villegas‘s punditry was superb at the Wyndham.
