  1. @vfrmedia @wood5y My point is there is an #opportunity #cost to this, & the #MetPolice are not THAT "flush with #resources". Every #black person they're harassing on the streets, & every #pensioner they're #arresting for supporting #PalestineAction & opposing #Israeli #genocide in #Gaza is a #burglar or #mugger they're NOT arresting. They devote far too much time, effort & money policing #protest, simply because the #Government & the #politicians don't like it.

  3. “[Plaintiff, disability #pensioner Kathy] Pope said she had contacted more than 45 legal firms in the hope of enlisting legal representation [against #mining #billionaire #GinaRinehart] and exhausted all government resources.

    “‘Doesn’t that tell you something?’ [Justice David] Hammerschlag said.

    “‘They’ve all said to me I have a case. The reason for not taking the case has more to do with the disparity between the parties,’ Pope said.

  5. One of these days, I shall write a post about using the digital multi-meter #DMM as an #electronics "debugging" tool, for my #CS mates.

    Yeah, this is but one of the musings of a soon-to-be an #IT #pensioner....

  7. Save the Winter Fuel Payment petition!

    We believe as many as 2 million pensioners who find paying their energy bills a real stretch will be seriously hit by this cut:

    - Those on low incomes who just miss out on #Pension Credit

    - Those with high energy needs because of #disability or #illness

    - 1 million who don’t receive #PensionCredit for which they are eligible.

  9. Another disgraceful #Sunak election bribe. So called Triple Lock Plus is a Tory U turn says #IFS. #Osborne got rid of #pensioner's tax allowance, now these devious Tories try to pull a fast one by reversing their own policy. UK electors won't be fooled rb.gy/108k59 Remember these deceitful Tories have imposed huge tax increases by freezing tax threshholds, again they tried to fool the British people. #ToryBribes #ToryCorruption #rejoinEU

  11. #QuantumPhysics joke

    Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider have discovered that two of the fundamental properties of the universe, age and birthdays, are no longer entangled, due to the expansion of space-time.
    This means I can have lots of birthdays but don't necessarily get older 😎

    In other news, #HappyBirthday to me.

    Trip out on a steam replacement diesel train.
    Queued up at post office at lunchtime.
    Meal out at the Rowan Tree tonight.

    Day 1 of being a #Pensioner is going ok so far 👍

  12. I'll be a #pensioner in a not-so-distant future, so I've been brewing up some get-rich-quick schemes in earnest:

    • Set up a dating site for octogenarians, and name it "Radiocarbon Dating"—hey, if it works for the Golden Bachelor...
    • Start a crypto exchange and abscond with the funds to the Amazon—how hard can it be, really...
    • Launch a social media platform, give it a strong, forthright, patriotic name, and start spreading all manners of lies—I'll run gun, prepper, My Pillow, and "stop the steal" adverts all day long...

    I say, "stop the steel" could be a good slogan for anti-gun activists.

    In all seriousness, I'm genuinely worried about our country's fate, post 2024.

  16. Intergenerational #inequality has always been evident (as one would expect; people accrue assets as they get older), but its getting worse.... for the rich this can be reduced by transfers & inheritance, but for the rest #pensioner poverty beckons....

    This is just one more example of how the UK is a society run by the rich, for the rich, with scant regard of the social costs or misery such #class driven politics produces.

  27. Today I helped a #pensioner access an extra £150 per week and numerous parents claim Scottish Child Payment. If you need #moneyadvice including benefit check and debt advice, check if your local council has a #welfarerights department. Free impartial advice.
