So it would appear not to be simply a case of an aging population

At a time when there are benefits cuts it is not a good look when stories like the Labour MP claiming 900 quid for her dog arise. Not against the rules but it should be. Baffles me why she thought it ok rules or not.

I mean a survey which asks how your ability to work is affected by disability surely can’t include people of retirement age ???

I agree.

I want to know where all these jobs that disabled people can do are. The relentless progress (sic) of automation means there's increasingly less work of the kind which people with disabilities used to do.

Nice to see Vance wearing a suit when he went to Greenland . Sure his little mates will point that out. Gobshites 

Just heard that the pillock who asked Zelenskyy about his suit in the Oval Office is MTG's boyfriend. Explains a lot.

On the topic of people belonging on the thread mentioned above, this just in from the official White House Twitter account:

 

 

Cracking jokes at often disadvantaged and desperate people so far down the chain of power from you is such a good look.

The US is so ****ed. Official White House posting this 🤮

[LCFCCHRIS]

On this topic we need to all boycott the US. Don’t buy from any company that is owned by them. 
If you’re due a phone renewal avoid apple, 

avoid American food , beverage, and alcohol brands, even clothes (Nike etc). 
These twats don’t deserve a penny of our money where we can help it.

It also needs a good chunk of people to do it. 

 

The real kicker is tech. We need Europe to step up and make alternatives, even if they're a bit rubbish.

I’m all for completely erasing America’s existence from this planet but I don’t think I can bring myself to give up an iPhone and a pair of Air Max 1s

I doubt they're made in the USA although all the massive profits go there.

 

I wonder what Trump thinks of this scenario, does he want to bring that manufacturing back to the USA? Probably not.

No doubt.

 

I'm sure that she committed a crime will entirely pass the majority of her supporters by.

I’ll be putting a bet on this evening that Bardella will be the next president of France (provided he doesn’t get disqualified too).

British betting companies taking all the gazillions of bets that Brits constantly say they're putting on the French NF candidates since 2016.

Think the French are still just about aware enough to stick by "Votez pour l'escroc, pas pour le facho".
