Current Affairs The Labour Party

[peteblue]

What are we angry about Labour for today fellow socialists?

Anyone supporting this disgraceful and spiteful act against pensioners has no right to call themselves socialists….. @davek is spot on with this, Starmer and his gang are more right wing than the cretins they’ve replaced….

 

[Rita_Poon]

What convenient timing to finally critique the clowns just outed.

Yeah, with nearly a third of all children living in poverty in the UK thanks in the main by pensioners voting habits, they can feel a bit of hardship for once and pay their leccy bills themselves.

You’ll be telling us next how our grandfathers fought for this country and winter fuel payments and how they’d all be turning in their graves now

Is it hardship?

Just back from my Mums, she was joking that she will have to take it easy on the slot machines when she goes away next month and the In Laws joked that our inheritance has taken a massive hit.

OF course not all OAPs are in the same position, but I think a lot of people are just moaning for moanings sake.

I don't remember you piping up when lots of people who weren't you were on the end of welfare cuts?

Yep, agree.

What's more, they're the generation that will benefit most from the Doctors no longer striking.

Paying it forward.

You really haven’t a clue do you. The lads on here who grew up just after the war didn’t have parents who were awash with money. They had parents who were dirt poor and still suffering from rationing and war experiences. Their kids, the lads on here, grew up in abject poverty but worked hard to build a prosperous country and a degree of prosperity for themselves. It wasn’t given or inherited, it was worked for. Meanwhile, our own kids were spoilt, given whatever we had and have inherited or stand to inherit large sums of money. Millennials however, seem to believe that the world owes them a living and that we were given riches that have been taken away from themselves. You will never understand it, because you can only see what you have experienced, and the ‘inequality’ that you complain about. Myself and my generation shoulder the blame for all of this for giving too easily, providing too much, and not instilling a serious work ethic and independence into our kids and the millennium generation. For that I apologise........

I'm sure it's not this generation moaning. That'd be silly. They grew up after the war...

Because then he was alright, Jack

And yet no one on here is calling out this assault on the pensioners. Hypocrites as far as the eye can see. If this had been done by the Tories I would have been the first to decry it, everybody else would have too because it was the nasty Tories, Starmer, Rayner and Reeves would have been all over it. But because it’s Labour, silence, defend the indefensible, I’ll take no lessons in humanity from many in here…….

I’ve just come off a Carers zoom meeting, who are these people who will be looking after those incapable of applying ?….

Wow Pete, I thought you boomers built the country up from scratch after the war. Seems weird that so many of you are incapable of filling out a form.

Because working age people are 'lazy' pensioners benefits are far more generous than working age and if they claim the right ones will be fine

Hopefully some of the savings of winter fuel payment can go towards making sure older people claim and that more discretionary payments are available

Cry arsing over the equivalent of a fiver a week

All of the things the youth have had to deal with over the last decade, but this is the hill our @peteblue wants to die on.
