A UK family where both parents work full-time, pay full council tax, and earn enough to be 'doing alright' on paper, can't afford to take their kids to the Tower of London on a Saturday in 2026. Two adult tickets and two child tickets at standard price comes to roughly £100. Add £40-£80 in train fares and £50-£70 for lunch — that's around £200 for a single Saturday at one tourist attraction in their own capital city. A family on full Universal Credit, living in subsidised housing, paying no council tax, can take the same four people to the same Tower for £1 a ticket — £4 total — under the 'inclusive access' schemes most major UK attractions now run. The working family pays the full £200 day out AND covers — through their taxes — the £196 discount the benefits family gets on the same trip. Whatever the original intention of those schemes, this is the structure most UK working families are now living inside. Pay the full bill, then watch the people next door enjoy the day out you can't take your own kids to.

#cafc anyone having a go about tonight-give your head a wobble. We played a team who brought on a player that cost not only more than our squad, but our entire ground and training ground! Think back two years, where we were then. and have a word with yourself. In NJ we trust.

My skipper in four years time. Starting to think we might never win one in my lifetime, given that was our first chance to reach a final in 60 years, but there is something about this bloke that makes be believe. We’ll be back. I love my country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Can honestly see jones leaving at the end of the season if he keeps us up and I don’t blame him - we have the most toxic fanbase in the 92. The arrogance and stick we give to jones is a joke considering we’re 7 points off the drop, no wonder he loses his shit at us #cafc

To not concede against Leicester, QPR and Stoke to then get smashed by Portsmouth just about sums up what its like to support Charlton. #cafc

i have no desire to be rich so i can buy a lambo or birkins. I want to be rich so I can control my time and go to the gym at 2 pm on a wednesday. sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon. so I can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients. spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget. that’s my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.

Enough….
The lads at @lotuseaters_com worked out that those with 6 children are now receiving an equivalent of £70k a year "benefits" from the UK taxpayer. And ask: "Is it easier for invaders to learn English and try find a £70k a year job, or have 6 kids and fake a disability"?

This is Peter. 💔⚽ He hasn't got long left to live due to a terminal illness and Peter’s final wish was to watch Ajax play one last time. But yesterday’s home match against FC Groningen at the Johan Cruijff ArenA was abandoned after just five minutes due to safety concerns caused by fireworks set off in the stands. The match has been rescheduled for tomorrow and will be played behind closed doors. Peter, however, will still be there. Ajax have granted him special permission to attend - making him the only fan in the stadium.

If you are a worker If you are successful 
If you are a Landlord  If you are an employer If you are a homeowner  If you have saved money 
If you were born in the U.K. 
If you run your own business  If you brought millions from overseas 
If you worked hard & are nearing retirement  Then you are the enemy of Labour & they are coming for you

A miserable Monday morning. Millions of Brits are dashing around on the school run to get the children ready and to school on time, then off to work for another busy week creating wealth, building opportunities and actually contributing to the economy. Maybe feeling a bit under the weather, definitely not looking forward to the endless traffic which seemingly gets worse every Monday - especially considering how councils how decided to dig up exactly the wrong road at exactly the wrong time of year. Never any workmen around on these council projects, are there? Get wet through in the rain, then straight off to work. As always. The endless slog. It doesn't get any easier, does it? But remember - always remember who you are doing this for. Who we are all supporting through these important tax rises... The illegal migrants, sitting in fancy warm hotels tucking into their fry ups at our expense. They couldn't go without the newest iPhone now, could they? We wouldn't want them feeling at all uncomfortable. I say give them a tent and a bowl of porridge until we can turf them all out... The lazy and indolent, who can't be bothered to do the same as us so they sit on benefits doing absolutely sod all. Drop the kids off at school, then back home for a cup of tea and some daytime TV. Get that dressing gown on. Just brilliant. The foreign families, who rock up on our shores and can immediately live an easy life thanks to the British taxpayer - having more and more children which Brits can't afford. That Somalian family, with eight kids, who now sit on a small fortune every month thanks to lifting the two child cap. Translation at the DWP of course provided, at our expense. Billions in foreign aid, paying for motorways in South America or nonsense DEI projects in Africa. Don't exactly love paying for that, to be honest. But don't forget the pay rises for our vast managerial civil service bureaucracy. I bet they're working from home today. Probably on some experimental four day week, actually. No such luck in the private sector... So yes, please do remember who you're doing it all for. Illegals, lazy foreigners, the indolent, and the work-shy bureaucrats. I am absolutely sick of it all, to be honest. Aren't you?

🚨NEW: Nigel Farage on the Budget: "If you work you pay more tax, if you don’t work, it’s been a great budget. In fact, if you’re a Somalian with 10 children, you’re the best part of £20k better off."

Make it make sense
A worker on £35k a year will be £1,400 poorer because of the freeze in income tax Yet a family with 5 kids on UC will be £10,000 better off. This is the most unfair budget in my lifetime
