Yes, your claim was incorrect.

I treat my family plenty thank you, but I do so at my own expense, not the taxpayer.

People can do what they want with their own money, obviously. We're talking about public expenditure, and currently we give more welfare to the richest demographic in society than to anyone else - I don't think it's controversial to say that probably needs addressing...

There's this huge contradiction on the right where you all want the welfare bill down and less taxes, but as soon as someone mentions the largest welfare expense we have, there's no real interest in tackling it.

So what is a fair amount for pensioners to live on. It’s easy to have a go at them but offer a number. Excluding general bills. 100 a month, 200 a month1000 a month , you must know as you want to pull it or reduce it !

Does the new £15 million "misogyny" prevention fund extend to mosques?

And in the next few decades those arrivals will be looking for a pension as well. Golf and new cars? Alright but how many of them are also helping out their kids and families.

My point is they aren't skint, it's just extra cash.

Your policy is more extreme than mine, but if that's what you think.

Your last sentence is completely untrue - the state pension is our single largest welfare benefit (about 3x what we spend on disability benefits), and pensioner benefits collectively account for the largest share of welfare spending.

"Collectively"

What do we pay that Gazan tart who got shipped over for a free degree with her entire family?

And then they'd probably say 'piss off you miserable dickhead' or something like that.

I don't know why you are whining about your disappearing pension when you are literally voting for Islamic takeover and the billions in taxpayer funding whilst they don't work.

If you read my post, if there is a political will to do so, illegal immigration can be curbed at a fraction of the cost it is now. Really isn’t difficult to understand.

I did read your post, but in retrospect perhaps not carefully enough. And I'm not sure if I see the relevance of the above to my original post. I was being ironic, and so, to be clear, I believe that more should be spent on pensions than on curbing immigration - which I think is your view. If, as you say, the latter could be significantly curbed, so much the better.

Sure. Half the amount of minimum wage. No wonder the drive is full of Ferraris.

Apologies if I misunderstood
