Another hit piece by the media "millions paid benefits without ever having to find a job"

It's an election year and I get it we are an easy target, an easy cost cutting measure and to the average person who sees us getting to stay at home or receive help when they have to work, its an easy rallying cry. "we'll save you money, lower your taxes and all you have to do is forget about a certain part of society who are just sponging of your money anyway".

My disability review is coming up and I have no idea how that will go, it terrifies me, knowing someone on the end of a phone is going to decide whether or not I get to continue surviving and have some ability to continue.

I did a vlog about it here. its too long, its rambling, its 2:40am because that is the time my brain said I should wake up.

Warning this may trigger some people.

  • Yeh it’s a joke. This is why England is one of my least favourite countries. No offence to any English people on here. It’s not you, some English people are really nice it’s just the whole culture I can’t stand. The culture of walking over other countries like Ireland for example. And the leadership who marginalises people less fortunate. I feel like in England upper class people look down upon lower class people. Then with brexit and England shitting down public toilets it’s like England wants to go back to the 1800s or something I don’t get it. Why does England want to shut itself off from the rest of the world?

  • I don’t think it’s fair to hold the British empire against modern day English people (or Scots, Welsh etc - it was the BRITISH empire after all). 

    Do you hate Germans for the 20th century, or the French, Spanish and Belgians for their empires? Or China for what it’s doing right now today?

    Then with brexit and England shitting down public toilets it’s like England wants to go back to the 1800

    Nice typo!

    Worth remembering that only 15 million English people voted for Brexit out of an electorate of 40m and Wales had a Brexit vote majority too.

    Public toilets are history all over the UK not just England.

  • erm... you might wanna change that because you specifically state england for walking over the irish.... do you know it was the scottish part that had us take and conquer ireland and why we still hold northern ireland because the scotts claim to be from a irish tribe called the scots from northern ireland so they identified northern ireland as their ancestral home and thus their territory so they are the ones that used this union to take ireland which they had a claim on as their property... this is where the hate on england in particular destroys historical truth and we gets a unfair blame.

    the *** we stole from greece? ... the elgin marbles.... why is it called the elgin marbles? ... its named after the lord that stole them... it was a scottish lord.... i can go on forever and correct the blame and we will find england is getting it all unfairly when its not even all them.

    england wants to shut itself from the world now, because we have been drilled in that our empire was bad, and thus migration is bad as that was colonialism and its good to stay to your home otherwise your a evil colonialist stealing from other people... england has learned from its empire and the criticisms and the people of england now dont want any part of global empires. we want to be shut off... we dont wanna be put through that by others like scotland or france or germany and them do that for us while we get all the blame.... sod that, if they wanna do global horrible stuff they can take the blame this time, we wanna keep ourselves to oursleves.

  • I also tried to understand Brexit and the English mentality.  Remember, Dominic Cummings one of the architects of Brexit.  He travelled to Barnard Castle during the lockdown.  I presume it's his "Safe space".  A couple of years later I visited Barnard castle.  It's a market town, with a castle, full of white country people, antique shops, no industry.
