You’ve met the Royal Family?
I've met families where 3 generations have never worked… and a young man trying to break that cycle, only to find his family told him to stop working because his alarm clock was waking them up. People are making a mockery of our welfare system. Bragging about their free Motability cars, flaunting their new keys on TikTok. They think it's a victimless crime. It isn't. 18 million working households will each pay £50,000 in taxes for working-age welfare this Parliament. Every pound claimed by someone exploiting the system comes from somebody else. Someone who gets up, goes to work and pays their taxes and most likely will never afford a brand-new car. This wasn’t the aim of our post-war welfare state. It’s the sign of a deeply broken one.

Hey @grok Concise. No spin. Is it true the CEO of Children in Need, Simon Antrobus, gets a £160K annual salary plus expenses? Children in Need raised, on average, £40Million per year over last 3 years. Is it true that £10 Million is spent on staff costs, expenses and pensions?

Forcing Scotland to stay in the Union is like having a house party where the guests don't want to be there, but you lock the door, Zack Polanski says

Netanyahu is saying the world will force Israel out of the territory they have stolen in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria. RT if they should.

The fact that Andy Burnham only became PM in July & has already commissioned a (secret) poll about Scottish independence tells you everything that you need to know about how terrified he is that Scotland will soon go its own way.

"A petition calling for an independent inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israeli genocide in Gaza has passed 100,000 signatures, and will now be considered for debate in Parliament." The above has NOT been reported on the BBC News website. Please RT this until it does.

Of course it's GSTK nowadays, but the anti-Scottish racist verse 6th remains. No true Scot sings about crushing his/her own people.

The Clearances weren’t a jaunty gap year. Homes were burned, families driven out at bayonet-point, many murdered or left to starve or die on coffin ships! Framing ethnic cleansing as “adventure” is the sort of soft revisionism that we expect from a staunch loyalist @thecoastguy
