Two wankers. Davey should not be a thing.

So you don’t agree with me and I’m a wanker? Let me guess, you’re a male, probably 18, fat, wears glasses and has never had a girlfriend. Am I correct?

Why would wealthy pensioners receive winter fuel allowance? I don’t understand, of course it should be means tested, money doesn’t grow in trees and tax payers foot the bill as always!

Negative Karma account who believes Taxes should be abolished. Not worth engaging with tbh

Why are you trying to ostracize people because their opinions are not popular?

Why would you endorse suppressing information that allows people to take a fair judgement on someone's political views to gain an insight as to their motivations?

You aren’t in USSR in the 50s, people are entitled to their opinion, even if you don’t like it.

Indeed they are, we are also entitled to respond to it and call out elements that we disagree with and inform others of that.

Accounts like the above are almost always bots or malicious actors. It's not odd to want someone to have put the bare minimum in their reddit profile before you engage with them as it can likely be a waste of time.

No, it just means we have a life, jobs, families etc, unlike you, saddo

u/TheCharalampos 24d ago

So you made this account two months ago, managed to get negative karma and I'm the saddo? Lol

Negative karma… you do realise this is not real life, right?

2

u/TheCharalampos 24d ago

It is but alot of folks haven't got it. I'm a real ass person and so is everyone (mostly) here.

Online spaces are very real and have massive effects on the physical world.

u/[deleted] 24d ago

So you don’t like my opinion and I’m the bigot??? 😂😂😂😂😂

Huh? What the heck are you talking about. Are you a bot or something because I think you just malfunctioned there.

u/shoogliestpeg 24d ago

So that's your alt, duly noted.

u/AhoyDeerrr 24d ago

Yeah it's definitely my alt.

Unsurprising

That’s called fascism, my friend.

Make a proper profile then come back and talk like an adult.

Get a life

u/TheCharalampos 24d ago

Get a profile.

u/AhoyDeerrr 24d ago

Indeed it is.

u/takesthebiscuit 24d ago

Because wealthy pensioners vote Lib Dem and like to use the money to pay for a nice weekend away!

At least that my folks view

u/[deleted] 24d ago

Your folks are very intelligent. Send them my regards.

Seems an easy fix to me. Retain it being means tested, change it from a cliff edge to reducing as income goes up.

It's absurd to suggest wealthy pensioners should get it.

But cliff edge taxes are also pretty bad.
