They are fucking at it again.

They are whining and whinging on about how we must “all take the pain”.

I was down in the village earlier, and one of the shops had its radio on, and that’s how I heard them.  Now I have to buy the shopkeeper a new radio.  Fuck!  He should bill the gubmint, as it’s all their fault.

Let me tell you about taking the pain.

I started work at £10 a week.  Yes – that’s not a typo – ten miserable quid a week.

I then proceeded to fight my way up the ladder of success, getting up and going to work in miserable fucking weather, day in and day out.  For years I worked outdoors in an environment that would now probably be banned by the Elf and Safety mob, as it involved working at heights and a LOT of brute labour.

I went to work whether I wanted to or not, and usually I didn’t.  I suffered having to work with and for idiots. I paid all my taxes and struggled financially. I took more abuse than I gave and generally I took the pain.

I am retired now.  I am retired from having to wake every day in the small hours.  I am retired from the toil sweat and the abuse. 

I am retired from taking the pain, yet they are now imposing a Universal Social Charge on me. What do I get for this charge?  NOTHING.  They are skimming my pension to give my money to others.

When the good times came and the bubble grew, I didn’t move house. I didn’t buy a holiday pad on the continent. I didn’t buy a four wheel drive. In fact I didn’t upgrade my car at all. So when the crash came, I hadn’t benefitted from it in any shape or form.  So give me one good fucking reason why I should pay a red cent towards the mess that other fuckers have made.

I see their latest little gimmick is to take away free passports for the over 65s.

Cunts.
