I have just sent everyone a message in the Christmas club this year due to inflation and government policy, you won't be getting your hamper as promised as you can afford another one and you can whistle for your money. Did you explain that all the stuff they took through the year cost more than they put in? |

Of course but they keep saying now I have taken their money under false pretences and have strung them along. |

Sorry - but not seeing the connection between painting rainbows and looking after pensioners. Sorry you can't keep up. Perhaps read the posts back to back, so you don't lose the thread. Well perhaps it would help if you stopped going off at a tangent. Failure to paint a rainbow does not cost anyone anything - failure to support our pensioners costs them dying. But somehow you believe that spending to be equivalent.. |

Well explain that every time you said you needed to raise the subs, they threatened to vote you off the board. And every time you said you'd need to cut something else they suggested rainbow road crossings. |

Why are you trying to make this an issue of exact numbers when only the general principle was mooted, if not to mount a defence of pensioner handouts, thereby proving Zany's point? The actual means testing levels would have to be determined if we started means testing pensioner handouts. The actual point that you swerved was that you old duffers view as waste only the spending on things you don't like. The merest suggestion of cuts for you lot and suddenly you get all defensive. Which as I said actually proves the very point Zany was making. Why are you in any case asking me to supply you with the average working wage figure? It is easy to find via a google search. If you want to know do your own fucking looking. And incidentally it is a little over £30k. I certainly don't think any pensioner household with an income at that level or above needs taxpayer funded hand outs. Do you? But where the cut off point should be is a matter of debate. But it is not the topic of this thread. I just don't think better off pensioners need taxpayer funded handouts. I think that is a scandalous waste of money. But what exactly constitutes a better off pensioner I am open to persuasion on. So fire away. Convince me that my hard earned taxes are well spent giving handouts to comparatively well off old duffers who begrudge the scrapings of their arse to people like me. lol.....laughing at the anger and inaccuracy. What about those who refuse to work for more than 16 hours a week (details previously posted) because they get tens of thousands in benefits from the taxpayer Do they ''need'' taxpayer funded hand outs? How is that far when their tax free (higher than average) income is also funded by those on a lower income who you want to disqualify from OAP pension This showed that a single-mother-of-two, paying £2,000 a month in rent in London, would receive £36,663 a year in tax-free Universal Credit if she worked 16 hours a week at £9.50 an hour – bringing her gross income to £44,567.60.www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/12/09/britains-jobless-crisis-fuelled-benefits-loophole-encourages/ |

I was smiling because they have no idea of the consequences of being purely politically driven by belief, so I thought I might point it out. Now I am off back to the real world and might catch up later. |

Failure to paint a rainbow does not cost anyone anything - failure to support our pensioners costs them dying. But somehow you believe that spending to be equivalent.. That is nonsense and typical of your different rules for you and for everyone else. No one is suggesting leaving pensioners in life threatening destitution. We are merely saying that if they are well off enough not to need taxpayer funbded handouts they shouldnt get them, and the withdrawl of them is also cost free, unless you include the withdrawal of unneeeded handouts as a cost. I detect the whiff of selfishness simply because it might threaten to be a cost to you in terms of a lost handout even though you don't need it |
