Pompey supporter since 74 and still going. It's a type of madness. Twitter and Threads refugee. Thinks Trump, Musk and Badenoch believe The Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual.

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
