I thought it was more to do with her being a convicted fraudster, care to point out the misogynistic posts?

Not sure what the colour of her hair or the colour of her trousers has to do with her conviction or her ability to do her job as that seems to be where the last couple of pages have gone.

So yeah I'm quite comfortable saying there's a cohort on here who get weird where women are concerned.

No it hasn't gone there its just another case of white knighting.

No Tony it's another case of stty attitudes about women.

Want to criticise Haigh for what she did that's absolutely fine.

But inevitably people get weird and start going on about stuff like her hair or her trousers.

If the best you've got in response to me highlighting how messed up that is is to say I'm "white knighting" that's fine by me.

It says more about you and them than it does me.

Surely not.

You can tell it's sexism because everyone's so complimentary of Starmer, Lammy, Miliband, Burgon, etc. It's grim I tell you.

Never about their clothes, hair or looks though is it.

I suppose you think all those stating how scruffy Boris was are misandrists?

In all seriousness i’ve always been a bit baffled why he got soooo much stick for that, especially by the press.

I doubt theres a person alive that would look good mid nite of a bacon sandwich.

Strange that you missed Liz Truss out of your list.I forgot,fair game because she's one of the other lot.

A virtue signalling leftie,who would have thought it?

State pension is 221.00 a week, the income threshold for pension credit is 218.15 a week for a single person, for a couple it's 332.95 a week, so if your rich enough to be on a full state pension bringing in a whopping 10 grand a year you should freeze to death in your decadent affluence and you deserve all that you get, an I missing something?

Starmer is a c#nt, pure and simple.

£11,502 not £10,000.

Purely to cover all bases, the full basic state pension is £169.50 per week, £8,814 per year the last time I looked. Is it not often the case that there's also a modest work pension that takes both basic state and new state pension recipients just over the Pension Credit threshold?

Last time I checked it was £221.20 per week.

Turbo was using figures for the old state pension, which the majority of pensioners receive (I believe that’s the case)

The new state pension (post 2016) is as you’ve stated £221.20 per week/£11,502.40 per year.

Jeremy Hunt very astutely in raising the state pension last April put a lot of pensioners £3.15 a week above the income threshold to qualify for pension credit while appearing to do them a favour. At a stroke he penalised people on the brink of poverty as it is. The way around this for some is to claim attendance allowance thereby raising the income threshold to £299.65 a week for a single person and £495.95 for a couple. This can be further augmented if both receive attendance allowance and have an underlying entitlement to carers allowance bumping the income threshold up to £587.00 a week. This then had a knock on effect of taking care of the council tax bill and opening avenues to housing benefit for people in rented accommodation, dental care, glasses, the eye tests and TV licence as well as the WFA.
Most people of a pensionable age will have paid in their 35 years NI contributions and won't qualify for pension credit unless they have an illness or disability. The hope was that with a change of government this would be made more accessible but no, Sir Clown and his sixth form student debating union decided to be vindictive and punish those who they supposed hadn't voted for them.
He rounded on the Tories time after time about how this would kill off prematurely thousands of pensioners, his answer to this, let's make it worse, morally bankrupt c#nt.

There's been stuff on the Truss and Patel and Braverman threads that I think has crossed the line too and I think I've called it out on a couple of them.

Not that it's a competition but very little compared the Abbott and Rayner threads in particular.

Christ half the Abbott threads got pulled they got so weird.

White knighting now virtue signalling good to see a bit of originality.

It's more about a repeated correlation between really odd 'peacock' hair colouring and weird dress sense and how it always seems to align with, shall we say, less than perfect moral behaviour that I think is the issue here.

It really isn't that difficult to understand.

He was eating a bacon sandwich at breakfast and to most people its an odd look.

Pretending it was late at night and exhausted

Anyone with "really odd 'peacock' hair colouring and weird dress sense" always seems to align with "less than perfect moral behaviour".

Bloody hell

I wonder if he paid for that or maybe another freebie.

Is being permanently offended an occupation for you or is it an illness?

I would agree definite examples in the Abbott and Rayner threads, but someone asking where they got those clothes being misogynistic is classic white knighting.

It is because the picture sums up what the country thought of him, even though the actual moment was perfectly reasonable.
Like Major with his head in his hands - he was actually focusing on trying to write a limerick, but it looked like he was fed up and that is what people saw in the picture. People saw Miliband struggling to eat a bacon sandwich and subconsciously thought he'll do the same to the country.
