    It's what the Tories do, punish the most vunerable whilst at the same time making sure the rich pay less.

    I did have to smirk when he had the gall to say 'you don't get anywhere in life without hard work'....he married a billionaire.

    In fairness it's often a case that no further words are required whenever Stret posts a tweet about this lot we have running the country. But also, he is admin of the site and therefore will sometimes post things to generate discussion :)

    Totally understand that but sometimes an opinion would help. I don't see @Mowgli or the fake geordie commenting either

    The problem with you mate is that you're either too thick or too tribal, or a mixture of both, to understand that English people don't disagree with anything you could say about the British government. Which is why we don't need to reply.

    If you weren't so tribal you'd see that people like me and mowgli are simply pointing out the irony of your former first minister being as bent and corrupt as the people in London she spent her whole career attacking for being bent and corrupt.

    Do you get it yet?

    I know many people who take the piss with their mental health claims and others who are alcoholics or heroin addicts which is a lifestyle choice. I like many others have to have a work capability assessment every 5 years so don't need a sick note but the assessments are nasty and some people who are disabled are turned down and have to appeal which can be degrading.
    Anyone who is unable to work because of disability or illness should get the full support from the government,it was actually a Labour government that brought in the WCAs but The Tories made it harder to claim under Cameron

    All politicians are bent? Yeah think I was 3 when I learned that

    Do you think cider and cannabis help you? There are some people, not me, that would say you were an alcoholic druggie leaching off the state for example. If you were Scottish ffs you'd be a statistic

    Why do you get such a hard on about 600k by a Scottish politician? I'd argue that's tribal

    Seriously, you have to ask? :dunce:

    I think that luckily this unelected shithouse billionaire and his non-dom tax dodging heiress wife will be out of number 10 before he and his cronies can actually implement this latest assault on the least fortunate members of society. His corrupt regime of self serving, self agrandising, thieving, hypocrital, racist bullies will soon be out on its ear and good ****ing riddance, I just hope a good many of them find themselves in court having to explain what they did with all the taxpayers' money they've misappropriated over the last 14 years.

    Is that a succinct enough reply? Ghandi said it better:

    "The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats it's most vulnerable members." - Mahatma Ghandi.

    Meow. Perfectly succinct thank you

    I'm not criticising. I smoke daily. I'm trying to explain how "society " views it

    F*ck society's views i'm 63 and have been smoking it for 45 years i'm not changing my ways now. If anyone gets turned down for PIP i advise them to go to their MPs surgery and get them to sort it out which is what i did,i advised my friend to to do this which she did he won her appeal and she got £5,000 in back pay for the time she spent fighting The DWP,it was Tory MP for Wells James Heappey that won her appeal for her.

    And yet you only condone a Scottish politician when you're forced into a corner, and even then don't mention them by name but ironically give a politician's answer and say "I condemn all corruption".

    Pointing.Out.The.Irony.

    So to clarify for you, I hate all politicians, not just Scottish ones. As opposed to you who only want to criticise Westminster.

    If that twat Angela Raynor is guilty of anything I hope she's the next one to be thrown on the political scrap heap.

    A little yes. And I accept that's as much as I'm gonna get. You're obviously not going to admit his wife knew about it until it's revealed that his wife knew about it, which we all know she did.

    We can cross that bridge when we come to it ;)

    Anyone who hates sportwashers and the fans that enable them
    Last desparate throw of the dice, throwing the genuinely sick and disabled under the bus. It says everything about them and the scum that vote for them who they're attempting to appeal to. I'm genuinely embarrassed that these cnuts represent us on the world stage.

    I can't wait until they f**k off and that cnut of a prime minister can go back to being a rich cnut who has no understanding of real life.
