Indeed. However, please link to the salaries of those surveyed and those that admitted to using food bank.

If you can confirm the salaries of all 6000 police officers surveyed, we can then discuss your accusation.

Your losing your touch. Maybe time for some fresh troll blood on here.

Starting salaries were mentioned. The rank, length of service and salary levels of the 6000 surveyed were not.

Interesting. So, you sympathise with police officers, salary unspecified, who use food banks but those on a higher salary have a sense of entitlement. I wonder what side of the divide a police officer on a 100k salary, that uses food banks, lays.

No. It's all related to salary and expenditure. I know a few police who are parents. Not sure if they were surveyed.

Neither do I have experience of makebelief. Actually I did watch Alice in Wonderland when I was a kid.

Exactly. Glad to see you've changed your stance. Reading what he actually said us more accurate than reading what you said. Thanks for proving yourself wrong.

True, none the less. Just goes to show even those on higher salaries can be accused of over stretching themselves, thus finding things difficult.

555. They were more than specific for you last week.

You must spend your life talking to the police, or not. You must be either a criminal or you are exaggerating.

No, he didn't say that.

Actually, the figures quoted on a previous thread about salaries and poverty show that police officers salaries are outside of those parameters. Seems it could be their spending habits rather than their income.

The headline is extremely misleading. There are 2.4million UK citizens with passports that are more than 10 years old. How many have already applied for a new one? How many have less than 6 months vadility so can travel anyway? How many are actually considering travelling to an EU country? How many have kept up with the rules and actually know they can't travel to an EU country until they get a new passport. There is no chaos.

Not forgetting the drop, higher percentage, in the pound between 2006 and Brexit. That coincided with 13 new members being admitted to EU. 12 of which became the bottom 12 on the table of GDP and economic balance. Also the 12 lowest donors.

You are the only person who seems to not understand. I'll leave it at that 😏

Why not? You want to means test to cut pensions. I'm just saying it's only fair to means test how to raise them too. Equality and all. "laff" is a regional accent.

No. That is not the question. The question is, why have you not kept up with the thread before another, failed attempt at trolling. You've let yourself down, again.

I'll wait until you grasp the basic concepts of English. Then you'll understand.

That's all well and good but means test it all ways. Those that have never been in hospital get more. Those with no kids get more, they've not used education facilities they've paid for. Those that have been on 40% tax get more. They've paid in more. Just a few ideas. "but it is the Govts. task to look out for the wider good is it not?" It's an individual's job to look out for themselves, is it not? Means test why someone has reached pensionable age with nothing . Check their working history and their spending habits. Why should someone whose been irresponsible with their money most of their working lives be rewarded?

Without it I'll need to be less frivolous. I like the idea of frivolity as I get older. I've worked hard in my life. Looking forward to having more than enough money to do what I want. I could do without state pension but, seeing as it's there, I plan to enjoy it.

No. Not political. I'm saving and planing for my retirement. Should be in a few years when I'm 60. I'll have enough to have a good time, help the kids out when they want to buy a property and leave a nice inheritance. When my state pension arrives when I'm 67 it will be mine, to do with what I wish.

As has everyone. Some more than others. By all means give your pension away. Just don't expect others to. Should everyone who can afford private healthcare not use NHS? Should everyone who can afford private education for their kids not use government run schools?

Donate yours to charity, then.

UKVI. They have all the info and help you need.
