Yes I'm sure you do. I'm not sure what your point is?

Your comment went over my head, I didn't read it as a joke, the joys of speaking via Internet 👍 I already do via the serious amount of tax I pay 👌

If your lucky, you may find yourself a pensioner one day, I wonder if you'll be so flippent then. Pensioners are vulnerable, if inflation causes them to find their living expenses unaffordable, or them needing care or help in the home due to the lack of government assistance, due to underfunding, they can't simply go back to work to make more money. When we as a country can pay billions for illegal immigrants, we should be looking after our pensioners.

Here's the thing. There's plenty of money generated by the working masses in the UK, the problem seems to be where it all goes after that, one things for sure, it's not the people who laboured, wages have been stagnant, public services are a joke, infrastructure projects are not happening, yet the top percentage of society are wealthier than ever. Hitting pensioners is the last place we should be looking to make savings, if anything they should be given much more. I can tell what your circumstances are from reading your narrow minded posts, yet you have totally misread mine. Perhaps you should widen your view point and consider it's not just those of working age who are toiling away who are struggling and hitting those who have worked all their life is not the right place to start.

So sorry to read this. You gave your dog the best care anyone possibly could. The only one suffering now is you after doing your dog a kindness. I've no doubt you cared for your dog to the same exceptional standard while he was fit as you did while he was ill. Try to focus on the good times, I know there will have been many.

I think someone needs to take their tunnel vision specs off and see things from a perspective other than their own.

What a load of nonsense, how do you expect those currently working minimum wage, phisical jobs to do any of those things, that would end up giving them a decent retirement? Sure it's sensible for them to pay what they can afford into a private pension to top up the measly state pension, but it'd would never be enough alone for them to live on. As for continuing to work, for many, particularly in phisical jobs, it just wouldn't be viable and employers would soon replace them. What then, job seekers allowance for 90 year olds?

So how exactly are pensioners meant to live on "the bear minimum"?

👍

And I think there lies the problem. Mass Immigration has been fantastic for globalist elites and their agenda. But has been utterly disastrous for the other 99%.

Affordable housing, stopping illegal migration would be a good first step to helping that.

Show me a politician that doesn't, whether that's very wealthy backers with a vested interest, or in some cases simply criminal.

Very true, but often the big changes only happen once people are pushed too far and an uprising forces change, that or the uprising is so serve social unrest spreads to such a degree, it causes the collapse of civilization altogether.

I think your right ditchman, people in the west have finally had enough. The system just doesn't work for them any more.

Sorry to hear of this and I think your right to explore all the options first before doing anything drastic. With regards paracetamol, if it's dosed correctly it's safe for most dogs and saves expensive prescriptions, although in your dogs case it doesn't sound like it's touching its pain anyway. Everything crossed for you both.

Funnily enough, I had a very similar email from scolar01 to

You are of course right that part of those 27 years were Blair and Brown years, but I hope we can both agree they were not better either, I would suggest they were worse and probably the start of another major decline for the UK. All that time, the Cons had the opportunity to come up with a better way of running things, but they didn't. This country needs change, to vote for the same two parties is madness in my opinion, you are literally voting for more of the same.

You've a point there 👍

Just wait for all the promises from the Conservatives with the general election comes up, the fact they've had the last 27 years to deliver on what they promise will be conveniently forgotten. Unfortunately Labour is going to get in this time, but it does give us a chance to show the tories we're not buying their lies this time around. If Reform get a big enough share of the vote and or win enough seats, we could see a huge shift for the better, as the tories will need to sit up and listen to the little people for once.

Yes

Any update on your dog. Sorry I can't suggest causes, but I've always found meat paste to very good for getting tablets into dogs, it's very cheap and if you cover the entire tablet in a decent size lump, dogs will swallow them with no fuss, especially if you have a second piece without a tablet ready as soon as the dogs had the first.

Voting tory is a wasted vote for the following reasons. 1 Labour is going to get in anyway 2 voting tory is nothing more than a vote for the status quo, they haven't listened to what the public want thus far, why would they do anything differently if they were to have yet another term.

👍 That explains why he's disappeared, I did wonder.

He was very rude to anyone with an opinion different to his own which was most people. Our prison system needs reforming, particularly for anyone who is a habitual offender.
