Typical spinless response

There is plenty of things that a great about this country but it is slowly being eroded away. A close family friends father had Dementia, was forced into care and had to pay £500 a week because his wife still had a house. He came back in a much much worse state than when he went in.
Now you tell me is that victim complex or stop ripping us off, we paid for our services stop selling them to your wealthy friends syndrome.Comment

Seriously Grayling phantom ferries, phantom PPE to the tun of £150m, phanton track and trace to the tune of £100m, £1 billion bung to DUP. It goes on and on an on. Rigged property market billions to property developers.
And guess who pays for this, you MUGS with your 20p-40p in every pound that goes to the tax man.
Easy to be glib and subservient but like i said some of us have a spine.
Persecution complex get real we are a country that has destroyed it's reputation and whose economy has the lowest growth in the world post Covid.
6 months on the bench and pre-Tory i have never even applied for a job in 5 years.
Yes we are fcked.Comment
