Pay bedroom tax, wtf!! she does not even pay the repairs for her gaff, what is it £390 million for Buck house.

    “The Crown Estate has already paid for the renovation [of Buckingham Palace] many times over by way of their contributions to Government revenue. In fact, they’ve already paid for it six times over in the last ten years alone having paid £2.4 billion to the Treasury over that period”

[/quote]  So the statement by the government about funding for repairs to Buck house is just bullshit then is it. Crown estates contributions to Government revenue? do you mean like income tax? so they pay that the same as anyone else then? I pay income tax but I still have to pay for a new roof when I will need one. No one is giving me a free lunch in actual fact had £200 winter fuel allowance taken of me because I no longer live in the UK, never mind that I paid into the system all my working life and never once have I ever received any form of Social welfare benefit. I  live in France and from mid October until Mid March there was hardly a day the temperature went above zero!!! Not often do I agree with VNA but sadly Joe public in the UK is going to get well and truly shafted on June the 8th. PM May was a remainer but now she like fecking Boudica and jumped on the Brexit brigade leading the charge into economic ruin.
I have said it before but Tony Blair was the best PM the labour party and the UK have had in decades. People keep drumming on about the Iraq war. I remember Blair right up to the 11th hour tried to talk Baby bush out of going in to Iraq and Bush told him you are either in with us or not. If not we will go in on our own. I have no doubt in my mind he was also told by Bush if you back out you can kiss the one sided special relationship good bye. Again people blame him for the recession, it was the greedy banks caused the recession which was a WORLD recession not just the UK. At least if the Labour party that Blair dragged into the real world was still around today you would not be seeing the landslide victory we are about to, basically the working man and the poor in our society are about to get well and truly fuckedover.
