UK. Socialist. Called lots of other things but sticks and stones.

Humanitarian. All life matters.

Quite opinionated but enjoy respectful debate. UK
I have far more important things to worry about - do you know how difficult it is to keep up maintenance, nails, botox, liposuction, fillers, hair (inc removal). No time for this politics nonsense! 😂

Benefit fraud has always been famously low as a percentage of overall payments.
But the problem is amplified in the minds of the public by media & govt conflating fraudulent claims with payments made in error.
The narrative maintained throughout by Lab/Con is ALL claimants are somehow dishonest 🫤

I'm sure enough spin will be put on it to assure Greater Manchester ICB that it will be the best thing since sliced bread. It may even add some truth in there that it will work (on a short-term basis, won't be mentioned) but the long-term outcome will be very damaging and reality will be too late.

No. I did send the email. Received the generic bullshit response.

Laughably still stating 'support the NHS, free at point of use'.

See a doc for free - £9.90 for a prescription (England only).
NHS dentist - ha, ha, bloody ha. Meanwhile private dentistry profits £1.2bn.

The train shown in the picture is not under public ownership, that is classed as rolling stock which is still in the hands of private enterprise.

You can fool some of the people .......
