Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

The Drover's, North end of Loch Lomond, Inverarnan.
Everyone should go once to see it. Unlike any other pub in Scotland.

Look at how Western news media uses air quotes when it suits to seed doubt into Palestinian narratives, and uncertain verbs (“appears to”) when casting Israel in negative news while adding extra sensational language for Palestinians (“graphic scenes”).

The “news” every 30 mins makes me turn off and reach for the vinyl.
Radio 6 is a tribute to all that is best at the BBC. It is inform, educate and entertain in musical form: Utter loveliness. And then they periodically allow the news department to mutilate it with these context-free anti-asylum bulletins, reminding you of all that's worst about the BBC.
Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC 6 music is one of my favourite things
Having it interrupted by breathless news bulletin telling me ‘government has banned taxis for asylum seekers’ *really isn’t*
New lines like ‘Home Office spent £1k over weekend on taxis’ would struggle to make a local newspaper

Millionaires and billionaires who leave the UK because they might be asked to pay a bit more tax when the country is in a crisis largely of their making are not patriots. They are greedy, selfish cunts.

Mansion tax will be paid by less than 1 in 200 homes.
145k out of 30.4m homes.
For every home that will pay something under the new tax, 199 won't.
It's a tax on the 0.5% and 99.5% of us will not pay it.

Remember, Nigel Farage cannot be held responsible for his racist words, because he was only 15.
However, Shamima Begum must suffer for the rest of her life for being a victim of grooming, when she was 15.

Normally, when there is a story about an MP expressing any antisemitism whatsoever, the Jewish Chronicle and Jewish News are, rightly, all over the story, leading the agenda. Unless, it seems, that MP is Nigel Farage. Very peculiar omissions from @jewishchron.bsky.social and @jewishnews.bsky.social
