Well done Rach

For a good reason, they were absolute death traps made by complete idiots.

The Top Gear episode nearly claimed me I was laughing so hard.

Is it not PIP payments?
You could probably get a BMW on pcp using it.

No, it is the Mobility Scheme. Thats why @ArtetaMoney s neighbour, Sandra, had the Ferrari delivered instead.

So the £17.25 per week for a child will encourage certain people to have more kids? It’s hardly a kings ransom is it.

Perspective folks, perspective.

Chilf benefit is £26.05 a week for your first child and £17.25 a week for any children after that.
The cap has been lifted on the UC 2 child limit which is -
For children born before 6 April 2017: You receive a higher rate of £339.00 per month for your first or only child.
For children born on or after 6 April 2017: You receive £292.81 per month for each of your first two children.

Some obscured view that the one at the back can't even see .The 1970's was a bizarre era

about £26 for first child and £17.25 per child thereafter, used to be for only 2nd child. Less than 3 pints at HDS to me, a fortune to someone unable to feed their kids.

Buy 2 packs of twirls

Yeah that's it mate a lot of people are getting confused with child benefit and the benefit cap. I worked for UC up until last month and it is not a question of a few quid a week it is going to be a big bill that needs paying.

Stop the boats

Realistically, though, we send £Billions abroad as a 'caring' nation when our own economy and children is/are flat lining.

We really cannot do this alone - and maybe we aren't - but giving money to so called Third World economies - no name, no pack drill - who then spend £Billions on space research instead of trying to solve their own people's crises just doesn't sit well with me.

Foreign Aid is not just giving loads of money to other countries, it’s a kind reciprocal way of trading around the world disguised under this terminology ‘foreign aid’. The ‘money’ we send often comes with favourable trade agreements and promises, medicine, technology etc. I don’t claim to fully understand it but it’s kind of a way of trading without all the tariffs and red tape that comes with it. Kind of like “I’ll give you £50 which will help you spend today but when tickets come out for the derby next season I want 2 guaranteed for £40 and a £10” food voucher” a kind of under the counter agreement

He's a real piece of work, that guy. Mad and dangerous.

Very kind.

I was considering... 'a recent government cut the overseas aid budget and used it to pay for hotels for perpetually kept asylum seeker claimants in the uk, this was very handy for the 'covid hotel vip lane' businesses where very agreeable contracts were willingly signed and a lot of money, tax payer money was once again funnelled into the pockets of establishment figures and their backers.

Gotta keep an eye on them foreign space programs.' :/

Wicked wasn't it, he started banging on about manifesto pledges broken and Faisal real casual and maybe even with a slight grim in his voice asked if your party ever broke a manifesto pledge. He was so annoyed (the tory stooge), and started crying about receiving a question on a subject he'd brought up. Hypocrisy 101. Glorious.

They've another one on now saying the 2 child cap needs to stay and all people need to be in work (overlooking stay at home parents). Even if we could all afford one, there aren't enough nannies out there mate! It's always pie in the sky thinking, idealism.

One comment baffled me, apparently the Conservative leader made the accusation that the Chancellor was using taxes to pay for welfare! Surely that's the point of a welfare system, and how "The Welfare State" works. It's taken her a while to work that out.
