Re: Post Office Sell Off - Welcome To Tory Britain
you might have done...many people did...but did you tell us you disagreed with it?
You said very little critical about the government which was presided over by Bliar(not a typo) and Brown....the government which spent money like a lotto winner...money which we didn't have.
I am not the only one on this forum who thinks this.......many have said similar things about your allegiances.

So that's alright then. Labour didn't spend any more than any other government - yeah right!
They are spending more on welfare....? Thought they had cut the welfare bill.
Isn't that what you want? Freely available welfare for all and sundry.
The EU tells us that we are supporting 600,000 migrants from european countries.....figures from the EU...not from this government...people who have come here purely because they can obtain benefits without having worked for them, without putting a penny into the pot...paying no taxes(other than those levied on the goods they buy)...people who are escaping from the eurozone for purely financial reasons...not becasue they have skills that we need or that they have family here.

And Sadam would now be sitting on a throne in Saudi, at least we have better quality troops than Labour supporters.

thats funny the facts say most immigrants are working The Immigration Bill, migrants and benefits | Full Fact ian duncan smith is wasting millions on a flawed change over to universal credit yes wasting i agree on some of the policies on principle but he is trying to move too fast and making a cock up. plus the fiddling with figures ie work programme sanction scheme etc. they are not counting the money paid to private firms on the work programme and providers as you cant get a freedom of information as its opted out due to commercial interest act.

Bit like your posts, we're free to read them, but to get sense from them we ask you questions.
We never get a decent reply, just an extra set of ramblings.
Tell you what, go to your profile, start at post #1 then work your way up to present day and only quote the ones that are close to making sense, it won't take up much room below but could stop you posting for a few days.

This information isn't from any of our government sources, but from sources in Brussels....it seems they might know more about the movements of EU migrants than you or our illustrious government.

Re: Post Office Sell Off - Welcome To Tory Britain
I suppose facts are a bit like the truth...there's your version, the government version and then the facts from Brussels......and I can't think of any plausible reason why Brussels would overstate the facts(understate...maybe)...and I'm pretty sure that they will have the finger on the pulse of who is going where.

looks like it was just an estimate Factcheck: Who's claiming more in benefits? Britons in Spain, or EU nationals here? | Full Fact
