    Five million pensioners face paying extra tax to claw back their
    winter fuel allowance under Labour's humiliating climbdown, it
    was claimed today.

    A complicated solution being mooted to defuse fury at Labour
    slashing the benefit - worth up to £300 - would see it handed
    to all the older generation this season.

    However, around half - with annual incomes over £37,000 -
    would repay the money later through higher tax bills.

    The idea has been condemned by unions amid fears bereaved
    families could be hit with unexpected demands for cash.
    Labour insiders have voiced alarm at the 'optics' of trying
    to recoup the allowance from the estates of those who died
    after getting it.

    . . .

    Note, this is the effective LEFT trying to do this.

    The UK is just *done*. Many decades of picking THE
    worst and most idiotic 'leaders' got it there.

    "Free Money" - YAY !!! ... almost ALL fell for that.

    Anywhere possible - HELL NO !

    Also, the State is OBSESSED with making Islamists
    and LetterPeople and nutters and Mad Stabbers MORE
    EQUAL than all others.

    As Sid said ... NO FUTURE FOR YOU.

    It wasn't done TO you, you did it YOURSELVES.
    Comfy cozy LIES.

    May as well LET Vlad have it.

    The USA can no longer support UK idiocy, can
    no longer overlook the problems. The 1950s
    are long over.

    We truly dodged a bullet this time because had Kamala Harris won
    the election, we would be on the same path as UK with green energy nonsense, overwhelming migration, idiotic spending on WOKIECom projects and so forth.

    Trump may not be the total solution but at least he is trying to end the idiocy that the previous administration began.

    IMHO the UK will have one chance to recover and that time is right now.
    If they wait, the country as it stands will no longer exist.

    Which pales compared to the damage
    done by Brexit, a rightwing policy whose
    own backers now admit was a mistake.
