I see that the liebor government are now thinking about taking away the elderly bus passes and also talk of charging National Insurance on pensions! Not content with taking away the winter fuel payment of £300 they are now looking at ways to keep the elderly at home and without fuel. There's an argument about means testing I guess but after paying in for 50 years to get possibly the worst pension in Europe, the fuel payment which was introduced for a reason and bus passes to assist in transport costs seem to be a petty swipe at us, old people!
Means testing is OK but can you imagine the cost of doing this for 10 million? We don't get "paid" even the minimum wage, we are around £8K a year short of that and so to my mind, it's pretty much typical of this socialist near communist regime that they'd go for us.
A friend has written to his GP and asked that all of his normally bought over the counter drugs which are prescribed now be added to his prescription so that they can be sourced, free of charge, through that avenue citing, rightly so, that his winter fuel allowance has gone and he needs to find the money from somewhere. A good call and perhaps something we should all do to buck the system.
Become ungovernable is the way forward. We are pretty tolerant in the UK but cross us at your great peril. I used to work for a business that required all purchases over a certain threshold to have three quotes, no matter if the customer had uniquely specified the equipment. My colleague and I were spitting feathers that it was a huge waste of time and resources and that the other manufacturers quoting would not like wasting their time bidding against a specified item. It was a lot of money even 35 years ago - around £200K. A generator set so we came up with a plan. We order a drum of diesel and then amended the order to include a generator. That bypassed the system and we got our generator ordered and through "the system". Sure we got told off for using "the system" but we did use the system!
So it should be from now forward that we buck the system and make it more difficult to operate. I like that the system will now have to tax me on my pension (oh yes my pension is taxable as it goes over the threshold). I will certainly enjoy sending letters to our tax office for the £10 or £15 that may be needed. Imagine that again 10 million people all start to flood the Tax office with paperwork - I mean we are so stupid we can't use smart phones and PCs can we?
It really is a joke but then again, those of us who have lived through a socialist government before know what an utter mess they made last time. They do actually look a little scared and they are knee jerking already. When they start to pick up the angry vibes of the masses I imagine they will become very scared indeed. Of course, it requires the great unwashed to actually wake up and make themselves a nuisance.
Add to this that we soon won't be allowed to outline our outrage in the traditional free speech way we are used to, I imagine stuff will go underground and then they really should fear the people. They aren't frightened enough yet but keep taking away the money that honest people earn and keep giving it away to those who don't work for a living and let's see where that leads them. If you rob Peter to pay Paul you will always get Paul's vote as the saying goes. If enough Peter's decide that isn't going to happen well, hold on to your hats folks.
