Gas & electricity prices about to rocket, National Insurance going up, NHS we can barely access, food shortages & unsafe schools...and you still think the Tories are on your side?

- Any other chatty poor people had this message request? If this is a real article, then they are beyond off-base. @BootstrapCook one for you?
- Replying to @DinasaurusDYes - we have some of the smallest homes in the world, on average. We're a tiny island. That's how it goes. But we're pretty good with gun control, free healthcare and affordable education, so there's that (for now).
- He told his family, his doctor, his school that, "his dad was going to kill him." So many professionals well-trained to step in: we've learned f*ck all, haven't we? #RIPArthur
- We know there are food shortages. We know there are price rises. Nothing screams that they're about to get worse, more than a government choosing to implement an archaic measurement system that will befuddle the customer & cover for yet more #BrexitChaos .
- Do you remember the days when we only had duck islands and "2 Jags" to get pissed off about? Those sweet, halcyon days of brown envelopes, quangos & Chelsea shirts...ahhh, happier times.
- Replying to @rins2pworth and @cjwerlemanNo, you really don't. He has clearly surrendered. The police are not the same as the judge and jury. The crime is immaterial: they are there to arrest, not punish. That is the law.
- You forgot the price of a bus to & from Aldi with kids in tow; gas/electricity to cook; working appliances; extra vegetables to make that healthy; additions to make it flavoursome & crucially that we eat more than 1 meal a day. Be poor for generations. Then make suggestions.
- I'm a teacher and I definitely agree with this. Most are incredible, but there are many who go in to the profession for the power & control. They are the bullies that never left school.
- Replying to @UnknownMe82"These are white people, for Christ's sake! White people!" You can hear it dripping from so many of them - real, palpable shock. I know that's partly that for many of us in this country, this is the first relatively geographically close war. But the racism is loud. Very loud.
- Replying to @paulturner67No, she's part of your family. I agree with the point about kenneling, training, food bills etc if they make a fuss. Equally, you could find one that looks similar and send them that. It's not like they know her well enough to notice. You could probably send a duck, tbf.
- Replying to @MongooseSullyI thought chair was cl-irty, floor was dirt-ean and floor of bathroom - right next to washing basket - was the, "huh, might see if I can go one more day" pile?
- Replying to @KEdge23 and @BlackZorro07I would love to see you feed an entire family on her salary, with her workload, with her family commitments, bills, rent, transport etc. Not for a week. For years. Day in day out. You have no idea what you're talking about, because if you did you would never say such a thing.
- Replying to @Amanda_bvs and @thetimesIf I'd looked like that in my 20's, I'd have been pretty chuffed.
