There’s going to be a horrible gap between people like him and people my age that have been forced to keep better work place pensions.

You’re a good man for that though Boris, kudos.

I do think the winter payments are not the issue though. Our pensions are shiiiiiiiiiit and the cost of energy and food is needlessly high and all about profit margins and not war, which is what they’d have you believe.

‘ On this forum those who don't agree with the lefty majority are demonised as puppets of the right wing media. Here's the news, 1in 5 of the electorate voted Labour the remaining 80% don't all read the Mail or Telegraph.’

This is pretty much it.

Scoff at things going awry or questioning the ill thought our policies and subsequent watering down and U turns, then you are simply seen as some right wing nutter in the eyes of many on here.

That or a complete blank on things that are quite simply wrong such as the gifting. ;

Then there’s the ludicrous (attempted and pathetic defence) of the winter allowance removal whilst public sector workers and train drivers are given significant raises with no strings attached as the priority and you’re somehow viewed as even worse

This blind following of a party on the basis that it’s been pretty appalling in its first 100 days is better than the last lot of charlatans is something you’d laugh at if it wasn’t so nonsensical.

And then ignore the fact that only 34% voted them in and that a decent percentage now regret it seems to somehow manifest itself into some smug belief that they’ll be in power for 10 years.

The voting public are fickle and they’ll just as easily dump Labour for someone else if these optics continue the way they have been doing.

I quite enjoy mentioning the sheer hypocrisy if only to see the usual culprits gang up and giggle away whilst trying to insinuate that someone else is having a fit.

For the umpteenth time, I see this chat as not a lot more than an amusing way to pass some spare time. Unless someone decides to get personal then it’s just a wum as far as I’m concerned.

Somebody hasn't gotten over his beloved Tories getting whooped in the elections.

No-one labels anyone a right wing nutter ffs. There really is no need to be do polarised and embellish everything, it completely undermines any of the bullsh!t hypocritical points you’re trying to make.

It’s vile, selfish, snowflake, right wing scvm.

Anyone who voted for 14 years of not caring about pensioners during cuts to local services through austerity, lies about Brexit, lies about social care during a pandemic, cuts to local councils, etc etc (whilst accepting record profits by energy companies) suddenly doesn't honestly care about the WFP and the welfare of pensioners. It doesn't ring true.

Then there’s the ludicrous (attempted and pathetic defence) of the winter allowance removal whilst public sector workers and train drivers are given significant raises with no strings attached as the priority and you’re somehow viewed as even worse

I think the problem is it kinda comes across as faux outrage when so many right wingers (not saying you do as I have no idea) defend tax cuts for the wealthy whilst bemoaning those on benefits.

And there we go

Just accept it. Your tory GVT got practically whiped out . The gravy train is over for the freeloaders.

You are not going to agree with the new lot no matter what they do. You are jusrt going to moans and bleat for the next ten years or so. That's politics. Get a hobby. Try football on here.

If you say so

Try football. On here.

Why are train drivers held as some sort of benchmark when it comes to pay?

It's also a strange vocation to pick on given the importance of the job in relation to the country as a whole, millions of people rely on them on a daily basis.

Trains are crap in this country, but that's the companies fault, not the drivers'.

I’ve been working near Victoria Station in Manchester for most of the day which is mainly served by Northern Rail

There’s an announcement at least every 15 minutes for a train being cancelled due to shortage of staff.

It’s an absolute embarrassment

CEO's and shareholders annually receive huge salaries, bonuses or dividends/payouts for failing services but working class train drivers should offer a paycut to subsidise pay rises for cleaners and station staff.

Who is more likely to have the ear of a minister at the DOT, the CEO or the driver?

Jonathan Freedland, Hadley Freeman, David Aaronovitch and David Baddiel quit the Jewish Chronicle because it is now a fascist gutter with no editorial standards and an anonymous ownership.

Didn't stop someone...

Imagine trying to defend a PM who's on course to end up being regarded as a worse PM than Liz Truss.

Are you the guy who sets up new accounts to abuse Robbing?

A poker player that is easy to read.

Why would I abuse someone who enjoys rinsing the less fortunate of their money. Poker is how Sunak used to get by in College.

Better late than never to start on the Tory road to becoming wealthy.

He forgot the long time reader,first time poster bit.

Have you really taken the time and effort to make another account?

Hasn't been a great start for Starmer but unless he causes people's mortgages to suddenly rise by circa £300/400 then I doubt he'll be regarded as worse then Truss.

Of course Robbing. I see potential here. I'm just helping you along a well trodden path, from socialist to capitalist.

You've gone from lowly paid Nurse to well paid Businessman and playing Poker on the side. You've embraced the nature of life which is hard to do. Instead of envying Tories for their wealth you're on the road to making it.

This is what happens to winners as they age. They gain wisdom, stop complaining around the World, and make money. Why do you think older people are more likely to vote Tory?

Keep it up

I’ll bet a months wages you’re under 5ft 8

See, there's the nasty streak in you. You can't deny it.

I'm sure you're aggressive enough to raise an unraised pot on the button. I'm sure you've downloaded software to analyse the amount of times a player has entered a pot. I'm sure you've go onto forums and worked on your game. I'm sure you know how many times you get your money in ahead.

You have to be a certain type of person to do this. Why deny your true nature?

Come to Vegas and we'll get some hookers and blow at the mirage curtsey of drunk tourists.
