    I watched a youtube video a couple of days ago which outlined how older people should claim the various little known benefits that they could be entitled to. One big theme was the fact these benefits and allowances are underclaimed, the facts are that Government and various bodies will never suggest you ask for them.
    The other big theme was the differences in benefits and allowances there are in the various Countries of the UK. In general terms if you live in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland you will be entitled to far more freebies and handouts than if you live in England. How has this come about? There is some extra Taxation in Scotland but not enough to pay for the extras. The only explanation is the English are being ripped off to pay for Socialist Governments.

      Yes Flot….and they forget that to get your pension now you have to work extra years….if you’re a waspy woman it’s probably 5 years +. So that’s several years where the State saves on pensions…but wants to take it off them at the front end as well.

    Oops.

    WATO was telling us about the riots/protests in France and thought they had a safe bet when they wheeled in Christine Ockrent, a journalist who is a strong supporter of the EU and George Soros. Bet they regret that now.

    First she said the protests had been politicised and manipulated by the Far-Left and then, shock horror, said there was an ‘Hamas factor’ in the protests….cue instant counter from the presenter…surely you mean the ‘pro-Palestinian factor’?
    No…she meant what she said. Curious how the BBC are verging on romanticising the riots and present the police as the problem for being ‘too violent’…missing out the fact that 700 officers have been injured. And a strange take on that…the BBC reports that ‘riot police have clashed with protestors’……that’s putting the blame on the police and by using the word ‘riot’ makes them out to be more violent and that it is they who are attacking the ‘protesters’ when the headline should be ‘Rioters attack police’.

    The BBC is an extremist organisation that peddles far-left propaganda that attacks the West and Jews.

    Listening, against my better judgement, to Matt Chorley on 5 Live coming from the Tory conference. His Tory guest mentioned the not all there Jenny Riddell-Carpenter, Labour’s minister for nature and rural affairs, who declared that a liking for country pubs, black Labradors and warm ale is a Far-Right vision of Britain….“a nostalgic vision of Britain that never really existed…a very far-right nostalgic vision of Britain that we don’t want to have.”

    It’s a ‘vision’ that did exist and is very much alive today.

    The Tory guest suggested JRC had called people Nazis…immediately Chorley jumped in to ‘correct’ her…no no no…JRC merely said ‘Far-Right’…so in no way Nazis. Hmmm…well…she said ‘very Far-Right’…so yeah pretty Nazi-ish no? And let’s be honest the BBC loves to use Far-Right as code for Nazi…this is the BBC that called UKIP Nazis, that told us Brexit was taking us ‘back to the ’30’s'[ie…Nazism] and which rebroadcast ‘A Warning from History’ in relation to Brexit…which told us of the rise of the …Nazis….vote Brexit get Nazism. The BBC that was happy to spread the story that the new Reform badge was so like the Nazi’s badge…which is utterly ridiculous and stupid…

    It’s notable that the BBC didn’t itself report on Jenny Riddell-Carpenter’s ludicrous and insulting comments…comments that go right to the heart of the Labour mindset and their way of dealing with things they hate…just call them ‘Far-Right’…much as the BBC does.

    This is the government minister for rural affairs slandering rural people as Nazis and the BBC does not think that that needs to be commented on? How is she in anyway fit to be any type of minister let alone one representing rural people?

    The BBC definitely knew that this was a bad bad look for Labour and so covered it up…and Chorley tried his best to repair the damage when the subject came up and the truth came out.
