The average MP is claiming more than £40,000 in personal benefits, including for ridiculous things like new phones, electricity, heating and food.
Which everyone has to purchase.
Why don't we talk about this benefit fraud?

Seeing various articles this morning about issues for children 'starting school' but 95% plus of children are now in settings (including school based ones) way before they start Reception. Their needs are their needs, developmentally. What's required imo is flexibility in curriculum and approach.

I am reflecting that Trump is making a better, more colourful, more emotionally connected, louder positive case for the UK rejoining the EU than I have heard in the nearly 9 yrs since the referendum.
It isn’t a question of THINKING about it. It is FEELING the project’s purpose from which it arose

Imagine for a second if the Government actually ran things, and they worked, and we didn't have billionaires who constantly put up the prices but stole all the money so they don't.
Seems impossible?
No that was the 1940's to the 1970's and everyone always says how great it was.

People around the country repeatedly told the Democrats, hey you are going to lose to the worst and least popular man on earth, if you keep valuing genocide over the will of the voters.
800,000 murders later, they are *still* capitulating to that dipshit instead of listening to their voters.

2/3rds of the people in the UK on 'benefits' are State Pensioners.
Of the other 1/3rd 60% are working.
The other 15% are the long term disabled people that you get in every country.
