When they return home, however, the Shire hobbits discover their cherished ideal corrupted. A totalitarian state has replaced the carefree rural life, dominated by "the Rules" and suffering from "no beer and very little food." Journeying deeper into the Shire reveals a devastated countryside. Homes have been replaced by ugly row houses and barracks, trees have been wantonly felled, and the old mill has been replaced by "a great brick building straddling the stream, which it fouled with a steaming and stinking outflow." Frodo's own home, Bag End, lies abandoned and stinks of filth. Sam sums up the situation with his exclamation, "This is worse than Mordor! . . . It comes home to you, they say; because it is home, and you remember it before it was ruined."

Freeze or Starve – Older UK Pensioners are expected to live on £8,814 a year
Dr Vernon Coleman
Pensioners who were born before 1951 (or 1953 for women) receive £169.50 a week to live on. Forget the rubbish talked by Labour politicians. Older pensioners do NOT receive £12,000 a year. That’s rubbish. Older pensioners, who have paid 40 years or more of tax and national insurance, now receive £8,814 a year. That’s the full pension for older pensioners. How do I know? Because that’s what I get after working and paying tax and national insurance all my life. No one ever mentions this because it’s shameful and embarrassing.
And out of that a single man or single woman has to pay out the following:
£1,168 (average council tax so that council staff can pay themselves huge salaries and pensions)
£8,880 (average rent for a one room flat outside London – don’t even think of a small one bedroom flat in London)
£250 (average house insurance)
£795 (average heat and lighting bill)
£169.50 (TV licence fee to help towards Gary Lineker’s vast salary – according to the BBC licence fee settlement of July 2015, the BBC was supposed to fund free licences for the over 75s but the BBC decided not to do it so it doesn’t).
Total: £11262.5 – leaving a deficit of £2,448.5
Sadly, this means that old aged pensioners in their 70s and 80s have to keep working in order to avoid going into debt and to buy food.
The average food bill for a single person surviving on porridge and baked beans is £2,500 a year. So add that to the deficit of £2448.5 and you will see that the OAP has to find a job that will pay them £4,948.50 (after stoppages). If they aren’t fit enough to work they will starve or freeze to death.
And if the reckless pensioner has a cup of tea and a bun in a café once a week as a treat that’s another £250 a year.
There is NOTHING left for books, papers, entertainment, meals out, clothes, holidays or transport. NOTHING.
To put all this in perspective, Keir Free Suits’ Starmer grabbed £15,200 worth of freebies a year when he was in Opposition during the last Parliament. That’s £15,200 freebies a year on top of a six figure salary with a massive House of Commons pension to look forward to.
And now the glum, stone faced, bureaucratic bastard is leading a Government which is taking away the tiny allowance of a few (but valuable) quid a year to help towards OAP’s winter fuel bills, so that it can buy more bombs and bullets to send to Ukraine so that ministers can look like big shots at the next NATO meeting, and probably help to trigger World War III.
Britain, you’ll be pleased to know has spent £12.7 billion on Ukraine and countless millions on supporting Israel. Just a small chunk of that money would help take British pensioners out of poverty and enable them to eat, keep warm and have a cup of a tea and a bun twice a week as a double treat.
Just after Starmer’s deadly victory, new Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced that the UK would give Ukraine billions a year for 100 years. I didn’t see any mention of this in the mainstream media. How kind of him it was to commit future generations to supporting Ukraine. Lammy did not vote against the plan to kill pensioners by freezing them to death. But you may remember, from one of my saddest videos, that he did recommend the toxic not very good covid-19 vaccine. Ukraine by the way has alleged links with Nazis. And Lammy recently announced that he is a Zionist.
Just ONE Labour MP (Jon Trickett) had the guts to vote against Starmer’s cash grab from pensioners.
I despair, I really do despair.
The Tory Government was bad enough.
Members of the new Labour Government should be tarred, feathered and driven out of town.
And they’re promising more financial horrors in October, as they continue to pour billions into Ukraine.
You can see why euthanasia is being heavily promoted, can’t you?
Everyone who voted for Starmer should ask for their vote back.

Everyone who voted for Starmer should ask for their vote back. Copyright Vernon Coleman September 2024 Anyone who believed Liebour were going to save them from the Tories and they would claw back the billions stolen for Covid or chase the 500 - 700 billion missing tax from tax avoiding corporates and individuals was a first class mug and there were millions who bilieved it like the Brexit lie before. Anyone who doesnt get the full OAP can claim tax credit to make pensions up to the national pension rate and can claim council tax benefit and housing benefit if applicable but thats assuming they keep that benefit help going -doubtful- and even then that still leaves UK pensioners on the lowest old age pension in Europe by a long way. Most Europeans get a,state pension between 20,000 and 44,000 depending on state and considerably lower living costs. The Irish Republic just gave their pensioners a €1000 winter fuel grant. Meanwhile the energy and water companies and the supermarkets are blatantly bleeding us dry to max out their shareholder dividends and soon the government will crush any financial liquidity a few may still have and shackle us all so we do as we're told or do without. Starmer,Lammy and Reeves Streeting are just pompous vicious neoliberal establishment elitists who intend to protect the wealthy corporates and individuals of the establishment in the same fashion the Torys were,austerity and poverty for all of us and corporate handouts for them,dismantling of the welfare system and NHS and carrot and stick means tested assistance for the disabled and elderly and futureless youngsters with the intention of forcing many into or back into low paid employment simply to survive. It will be game set and match to them once the 74 Freeport,SEZ and Charter City plans quietly agreed with Sunak hand over vast areas of the UK to corporate controlled mini tax havens with zero regulation and powers of compulsory purchase to ensure no one hinders the zones development plans. Zero accountability or democracy. Thats what they really meant by "change" sweeping away the last bit of our democracy and handing it all to the corporates and wealthy to own and run,irreversible coporatisation of the UK.The whole point of Brexit was to achieve this transition unhindered by the EU regulations. Congrats to all those who voted for poverty and slavery offered by the main parties,they wont be disappointed. Unfortunately unless wealthy we are all trapped here and at their mercy now on prison island.

There just forging ahead with the global agenda like the WEF/Davos globalist puppets they are. Brexit and the EU are irrelevant , it doesn't matter what was voted for it was smoke and mirrors. They've spelled out there agenda , they said that they were going to use the psy op that was Convid to bring about the Great reset and they are doing just that . Climate hoax will be the next means to take our liberties.

Wait. People still use pagers?? They used pagers because they can't be tracked like a mobile phone. The principle is sensible because lots of terrorists have died because their mobile phones gave them away

Wait. People still use pagers?? Pagers work on old FM technology and will work pretty much anywhere theres a basic radio network. Not much used here but still quite common elsewhere. It appears this op was planned 5 months ago - clever stuff - tampered pagers supplied from Iran if correct.

Everyone who voted for Starmer should ask for their vote back. Copyright Vernon Coleman September 2024 I'm quite baffled at this approach to take fuel payments from pensioners. Most that I know (and these days they're not that much older than me!) don't qualify for pension credit because they get a few pounds a week over the cut off point. It's a huge amount of money to take from people who are just about managing, and at a time when there's no health service and bugger all from social services either. I know some will have family that will help them out and some will be fit and active pensioners who can be out all day and just need it on for a couple of hours in the evening but the thought of people sitting in on their own all day in the cold, feeling like no-one gives a shit, just breaks me. I've been aghast at the number of people I know defending it simply because it's Labour; if the Tories had done this they'd have been raging (and rightly so). But because it's Labour they fully support it. I get it with very wealthy people not needing it but not being eligible for pension credit is a pretty low bar. In other news though, are you better now, Lika? You were in hospital last time I was on here. Hope you're feeling better now.
