Not a good idea boy. Global warming will come from it

I am sure that you. Vey all missed that nice Mr Starmers policy. He is obviously going to collect all of our £300's and put them on a huge bonfire tomorrow night. That will in his mind warm up the planet and we will all be a lot warmer as a result.

Other opinions may be available but this one is always correct.

What amazed me about the £300.00 was not the fact they took it away to save money but then made a big campaign to get more people to claim pension credit which must cause them to have to pay out more I should have thought.

Yes, certainly the adverts for Pension credits will bring in a lot of new claims. These credits have been around for many years and it would be nice if the DWP made an effort to award it to those needing it. When these people now get the credit, their lives will certainly be a little better.

I wasn't moaning Dave, what I said was I don't understand the logic behind taking money away from people with the right hand to save funds and then advertising in the press, and now on the television, to give more away. People know Pension credit exists no matter what their financial situation is so it is up to them to approach the right people and get it if they truly qualify.

I don't understand the logic

This a Labour Government, Den - when did "logic" ever come into anything they have ever done ?

The only overriding concern is the thought (which they really can't stand at a biological level) that some "rich toff" would be getting the payment. The basic fact that it is cheaper overall to administer a "universal" benefit rather than a "means tested" one would never be a consideration.

After all, saving or being prudent in spending your money is not important to them if it means that they can "get one over" on those they despise.

I truly hate politicians !

They are mostly all corrupt one way or another always looking for a bigger trough to put their snouts in. If it happens to be your little trough so much the better.

The question of "How do they keep getting voted into office?" comes to mind .... We've got some of the same issues here ....

I think that the problem is world wide.

I think we are of the same mindset Nigel, roll on the next General Election, although the question will be "whose better or worse". I don't think I'll bother to get up on the day.

<i> although the question will be "whose better or worse". </i>

Having the option of "Non of the above" would allow some small expression of discontent to be recorded that spoilt ballots don't specifically.

Due to the timing of the last snap election I was effectively disenfranchised (happened while I was away, postal vote didn't arrive before I left & nobody I could use to cast a proxy vote in person) - first election I have not voted in since I was old enough to vote. Not that my vote would have changed anything - our last useless Labour party apparatchick stood down (at last ! - good riddance Barry Sheerman). but Labour could put up Dolly the Sheep here & the preserved carcass would get elected.

Current set of muppets don't have any real mandate in terms of votes cast - got in more because supporters of the other lot stayed at home (and who could blame them ?). Maybe time to change to a hybrid system that takes into account the proprtion of votes cast as well as First past the post as some other countries do. Nothing will change for the better while the current system is in place.

I am coming to think that what currently passes for "Western Civilisation" is in it's latter days (like the fall of the Roman Empire) - just seems to be imploding everywhere. 2 billion Africans under age 30 could well replace the heathen hords that did for the Romans !

And on that happy note .....

Nigel, we do have the Nolan Principles for standards in public life. Governments long stopped considering them worth following, Bojo refused to appoint a ministerial standards commissioner, and I've struggled to note a politician of principle - even more so over the water. But, it's not just politicians: police officers, local government, journalists... the list goes on.

I went to a lecture a few weeks back: Greek Myths in a post-truth world. The retired prof who gave it, having retired, free to express his honest views, was very interesting: endless examples of the way truth is no longer regarded as a scientifically provable thing. When you consider the way the West has become so partisan (with the help of Musk, Trump, Putin and the internet) you do wonder just where it will go.

I'm a big fan of medieval and church history and I keep hearing things that remind me of the way beliefs were reinforced then by the most powerful without any connection to truth. Witch trials and mob justice feel just a fraction away.
