Of fb some are funny and could be classed as straight and to the point some are stupid.
As you know Iâm aa Tory and always will be unless something tells me this party whether it be Labour or the LibDems. I didnât vote this time my singular protest although I think thousands upon thousands of Tory supporters felt the same and the proof is in the pudding as the old housewives saying goes, ( remember that one from my dear old Mum ).
I think what has happened has certainly opened a can of worms ( another old housewives saying apparently ).
But people are asking questions over the budget statement and quite rightly so.
My Father is 94 and very frail he owns his house his wife my stepmother who is 84 and has weeks to live are financially ok theyâre not rich or affluent but can manage neither would qualify for pension credit, then there is my Father in Law who has dementia he is a council tenant he isnât financially sound but doesnât honour or hadnât gone out in almost a year My wife, brother in law and sister in law have power of attorney.
My Father and step mother wouldnât qualify for pension credit now my father in Law loses out on that benefit by around ÂŁ25 a month but neither will now get a winter payment and by the looks of things that will be millions leaving around 1.5 million still qualifying.
Now every NHS employee will think Street is the messiah giving them 20% over 2 years, but what about those NHS workers elderly relatives who will now struggle as a result in part by the millions who will now not get the winter fuel payments, will they start to protest along with millions of others, what will the NHS minister feel when more will die starting this winter with the pensioners choosing whether to eat or heat.
But yes those quotes are coming from a hell of a lot of people who are quite rightly hacked if with the Labour Party in their first month of power.
Theyâre going to have to do a hell of a lot of positivity to get back to where they were 4 weeks ago.
Sorry for the delay in replying but was in a plane over night from Cyprus and Iâve just woken up to this typical bloody cold weather
