The Labour Government

[kaz7]

I have a 2 up 2 down house that I moved into 35 yrs ago when I downsized after divorce. I worked damned hard to pay for this and I have fantastic neighbours and it’s in a nice area.
Plus, and to me this was the clincher when my family wanted me to move 2 yrs ago, I trust my doctor and I get fantastic care from my doctor. So why should I have to move?
It’s my home, I’ve paid for it, I pay for any repairs I ask no one for money.
I earned my State pension by working from 15 (school leaving age then) and paid into my teachers pension.
So I will not be told by anyone, including the government, to give up my home. Even if it were a larger house I wouldn’t because that is my right. It is my home bought and paid for so leave us older pensioners alone. Stop blooming picking on us.
Thank you, rant over.
We are not asking for a hand out just a peaceful last few years. Grant us that at least.

I have got your back lovely

Top post and I totally agree

Thank you. Sorry I lost my temper. :-)

Thank you kaz. Sorry I shouldn’t let them get to me. :-)


I just think people forget sometimes that we went through our own struggles when we were younger. :-)

Each generation has its own trials and tribulations. :-) :-)

Indeed we did. No one is going to force anyone to sell their homes, just Tories scaremongering

Closed graveyards’ upkeep is the duty of the local council.

Who said it was closed? The church is still open.

The government isn't asking you move, its just a few on this forum who dont have much of a grasp of real life.

He is not debating honestly , he wants sick people to work and wants every old pensioner to sell their homes , with no idea how/why/ where and at what cost

There are plenty of people on sickness benefit who no doubt could do a job but choose not to. We all know that Kaz.

It's distinguishing between those that are taking the system and taxpayer for a ride and those that are genuinely ill that has always been the problem.

The percentage of people ill shouldn't be going up but actually falling as our society becomes healthier.

I'm sorry, I knew that but I lost my temper. Doesn't happen a lot but sometimes I do wonder if some people on here just say these things for effect.

As I said in a later post, every generation has its own struggles and trials and tribulations. We didn't get or expect anything for nothing.
Sorry, I really should avoid the Politics Sub Forum some days. :-) :-)

I would think that Covid is one reason the number has increased.

The problem is that successive governments have attacked the "problem" with a sledgehammer approach and innocent people have suffered and died because of it. Labour will be no different.

I'm not allowed to say what I think on here as I'm on the cusp of a thread ban however those idiots (insert any abuse you like here) Who say WFA removed from (not well off) pensioners is justified are............ (insert word of choice here) as are those who say move home and cash in on your equity.

c*****s
