General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

we are, and we always have been, and will continue to be..."pawns on the chess board"we are at the bottom of the heap. once in a while they(the system suits)will toss us a toffee apple,take the pensioners chess game, give them £200 every other year, and they will think santa has come early. why the h***dont we get a pension like the southern irish, and the same concessions as they do???the gross national income for that nation is just a drop in the ocean compared to the UKs.we are at the bottom of the league here when it comes to the retirement pension.loads of cash to throw at anyone, thats not contributed a nickel to the economy, yet those who have, are punished. like everything else today here in the UK...all screwed up.
