Here we go again,
He said he would not raise the tax,
Would not raise National Insurance,
It was promised in their manifesto.
There is no way he would break the triple lock,
The triple lock that secured pensioners pensions.
This was set in stone for those who worked all their lives
Paying taxes for their pensions.
And what does he do?
He raises the National insurance,
Taking more money from those,
Those who work in our country.
And what does he do
He stops the guarantee,
The guarantee that pensioners
Will see their pensions safe.
So there it is again,
That question I often ask,
“How do you know when politicians are lying”
And the answer is, “Their lips move!!”

Yes I agree but to be fair... look what unforseen covid has done to western economies and the steps needed to be taken.... blame bloody CHINA who dont give a flying fk about buggering up the economy.
Did anybody really think that those HUGE handouts by the UK gov through the pandemic would not have a HUGE knock on effect? Or would it have been better for the gov to have not made hand-outs and left the NI stamp as it is?
Reality BITES! LOL
Yes, the very same words made the headline of one paper at least, yesterday.
Can feel your angst my dear friend - lies are what politics are all about.
Your corner getting just a tad crowded, but I'm with you. 😉
Surely you should already know this GF?!
