Yeah I got this pinged through in a group chat the other day. Frustrating doesn’t cover it. 
 

 

That's exactly the photo that prompted me. Fucking dribble chinned morons.

The Rashford thing has really dragged out people's inner Tory. "My mum used to feed 147 of us on two shillings a week and it was all the best food - home-cooked with puddings and full of nutrition. I myself feed two kids with nothing but a chicken and an oxo cube per week. People just don't know how to cook, you can buy a big bag of frozen carrots from Aldi for a quid so just feed your kids carrots until there's a vaccine."

 

It's nothing but an excuse to humblebrag and blow smoke up their own arses, telling everyone how great they are because they had the good sense to not enter into poverty during a worldwide pandemic and economic downturn.

Yeah, always makes me laugh when it's pensioners too. Try fucking with their free telly licences and see how quickly they froth at the mouth. They seemingly have no problem with me subsidizing that pile of shite even though I never, ever watch the BBC, as for the triple lock on their pension, Jesus, even bring it up in conversation and it's an acid reflux au festival! These things are owed to them though because they 'worked hard all their life', out of the goodness of their own hearts and not to buy a house with a conservatory and go on cruises.

My favourite is middle class blerts trying to explain to the working class how to cook cheap meals. Not sure how they've survived generations without it.

I just fucking hate the myth that hard work = wealth. Woman in the Mrs's school is a dinner lady, works in B&M and is a cleaner and she still hasn't got a pot to piss in, if the above was true she'd surely have a five bedroom house in Formby by now. 

 

Meanwhile in Westminsterland, it's conceivable to actually go to prison for fraud  then come out and get a speaking and book deal and a 100k to sit on a board for half an hour a week.

Careful, this sounds a lot like the divide and conquer rhetoric the Tories and Lib Dems used to justify austerity. There's nothing wrong with giving pensioners free TV licences, bus passes and decent pensions- as long as every other group or demographic is treated fairly too. Even so, wanting to strip one group of its 'perks' because others don't get it is just a race to the botton.

Wanna feel angrier?

 

Westminster is the lowest council tax band in the UK.

 

Reason? MP’s have their ‘office’ flats there.

 

As part of being an MP you can buy a flat in central London which is subsidised and let’s you have a pied d’terre which you live in free for a few years and then either rent or sell on when you’re booted out.

 

Glorious.

No, I'm talking specifically about people who receive those things who also make an issue of others receiving help.  There will be people out there receiving subsidies for all sorts, or who have benefited from great jobs, pensions etc put in place by a socialist government, but who would begrudge anyone anything.

Yes, but they're egged on by the divide and conquer stuff, from the benefit claimant who thinks immigrants have taken his job and home to wealthy pensioners who think unemployed single mothers get pregnant to get a free flat, via ignorant shire Tories who think public sector workers bankrupted the country because of their 'gold-plated' pensions.

Boomer responses to this kind of thing are a laugh, things like "bread is only 90p a loaf." Aye but feed your kids nothing but bread and we'll have a bigger scurvy problem than the Royal Navy did 200 years ago. "A chicken is only £2.00 and will feed a family of four for four meals." Well, no it isn't and even if it was, Jesus by the time I was 15 I could pretty much demolish a chicken to myself and that was before my siblings got involved, or my parents. Have any of these pricks had a teenage son in the house? The fuckers are like locusts.

 

But beyond all of this - even if it's true that your mum cooked you a braised steak dinner that was foraged from an orchard near your house while the Luftwaffe flew night raids overhead, does it really put you out that much to want something better for people in 2020, or is the only way to gain nice things like fed children through SUFFERING? It's Brexit in a nutshell: as you say, they 'earned' their comfort so everyone else should have to do the same. Except there's people probably suffering through working far more and being rewarded with far less.

 

Depressing as fuck. Humanity has been stripped away to reveal a jealous set of toddlers underneath.

Also, I'm a hearing a rumour that life isn't absolutely identical to what it was in 1963.

 

YOU HAVE A MOBILE PHONE AND A LAPTOP WHY DON'T YOU SELL THEM AND BUY LARD?

I'VE LIVED ON BREAD AND DRIPPING ALL MY LIFE SO THAT'S HOW I AFFORD MY UNMORTGAGED HOUSE, IT'S ALL ABOUT PRIORITIES AND BUDGETING WHICH AREN'T TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS.

 

Aye but here I am subsidising your fucking NHS gout treatment, and I reckon that and your lard-based diet are probably related.

[Jairzinho]

But what about the lattes?

 

Next you'll be telling me that having to pay ten years wages, rather than three, for a house is somehow relevant.

Whilst I might be falling into the category you've described above I'd argue pensioners are the age group that more than most have had a fair crack at life with steady employment plus pension and a fair chance of owning a house, plus most of them watch last of the summer with a free tv licence, go on cruises, play golf, go on day trips to the lake district, clog up the post office, vote tory, and cause a fucking big queue in the bookies on grand national day. So it's a no from me.

Just need to watch the last 30 seconds. 

He writes the articles extremely fast, first thing on a Sunday morning in no time. If someone wants to pay me, that is their look out. Yet paid 250000 for what he makes out is easy and not really work (ironically making the point of working hard has nothing to do with wealth).

 

Also as I said earlier the take the moral high ground whenever called out. 

I give some of that 250000 to charity, would you rather those contributions didn't go to charity ?   How heartless of the reporter no wanting charities to get money, what a cunt.
