  1. Very well put. Thatcher broke our spines; now the Tories are dancing on our dead bones.

  3.  @summerrr1  Or with the fewest job opportunities? I didn't see any laziness in the video.

  5. "we need poor people" ?!? Congratulations. You have just won the Adolf Hitler-person of the year award, 2023!

  6. Stop conflating. If every migrant in the UK disappeared into the ether right now, would poverty and inequality vanish along with them? No, of course not.

  7.  @johnpayne6196  There are many complex and profound systemic socio-political reasons why 'benefit use, alcoholism, drug dependency, health tourism, anti-social behaviour', etc, exists in the UK and you know it. Think on. And watch your language use. ‘Non-contributors’?!? Next you will be droning on about 'lazy-eaters' and 'non-desirables...'

  10. @Annette Gifkind When one is worrying about how to find food and how to heat a home, one is not bothered about the emptiness in one's soul. Please.

  11. Why not? He's finding another use for it (as a free book store). Make do and mend.

  14.  @galegrazutis964  We could always kill that ne'er-do-well and use him for much-needed Soylent Green instead. (sarcasm, duh?)

  15. Peace (nirvana) lies in the extinction of the self. Metaphorically speaking, of course. The dead only know one thing: it is better not to be dead.

  16. The volunteers in the video are under no illusion about who and what is really behind a lot of the problems they see and deal with. But they cannot stand idly by and do nothing when they see such suffering before them in their communities. And their actions are part of a wider movement of protest and change beginning to really make a difference to people's lives. At least give them that.

  17. It costs money to house and repatriate illegal econmic migrants. Your money-saving ideas?

  18.  @johnpayne6196  Legal migrants have contributed (and still contribute) an enormous amount to the UK. Or at least they did before Brexit, I suppose. Illegal economic migrants are repatriated back to their country of origin, eventually. Illegals must be housed in hotels in the meantime because...what? Should we store human beings, women and children, in cages like cattle? Should we let them stave or subsist on the leaves of wild trees for the time they are here? Blame the Tories for the terrible backlogs and the concomitant overspending in the asylum process. Stop sowing seeds of division and hate with your 'eau de cologne' of racism.

  19. Is this a poem? Write properly if you want to contribute something sensible and productive.

  20.  @johnpayne6196  Dictionaries are available. Plus, look up the word: erroneous. Then try again.

  21.  @johnpayne6196  This is the very thing: "lazy, scrounging non-contributors..." "...scumbags..." That's the problem. Right there. The very thing that's wrong in your thinking. I hope you can see it. If not, I cannot help you. Thanks for your interest in my "taking care". At least you got something right.

  22.  @johnpayne6196  Man, you are just so full of hate. It's eating you up. I feel sorry for you, Travis Bickle. I really do. I wish you better mental health in the coming year, honestly I do.

  24. Civil servants will be on strike themselves by then, I think.

  25. Always cut up and across. And use safety gear.
