It was three weeks after Christmas when the bombshell letter arrived. Guy Shahar and his wife, Oksana, looked at each other in stunned disbelief.
They had followed the Guardian’s investigation into the carer’s allowance scandal that has left thousands of families with crippling debts and criminal records. Not once did they think they would join them.
“Important,” it read in big bold type. “You have been paid more carer’s allowance than you are entitled to. You now need to pay this money back”.
In some weeks, she was paid just 38p more than the threshold – but for that tiny infraction she is being forced to repay £64.60 each time, the rate of carer’s allowance at the time.
Right wing people don’t care anymore, neither do centrists or left wingers either because the word has lost all meaning now due to the far left calling everyone a Nazi for anything. Didn’t return your trolley at the shops? Nazi. Returned your book to the library 20 minutes late? Nazi. Want to stop illegal immigration? Nazi.
No one cares about being called a nazi anymore, when it used to be the worst thing someone could be accused of.
you’re saying you want more illegal immigration?
the only way to stop illegal immigration is to allow more paths to legal immigration.
After all, immigration is wholly and totally a net benefit, fiscally speaking.
Absolutely false.
Fiscally in terms of dollars spent, sure. In terms of every other measure? Nope.

You can argue about the exact definition, as they haul you off to their camps. Then you can argue whether they are Socialists, Fascist, or something else.
Ah the imaginary death camps. Been over 100 days and still no death camps. Also none of these death camps popped up in the entire 4 years of the previous trump presidency. Strange that.
You just aren’t first on the list. Don’t worry, it will come.
Trump is not a Liberterian messiah, he is very much the government.
Who was first on the list? After 4 years of death camps from 2016-2020 and now another 100 days, we’d surely be pretty far down the list right? At least past…1? Or even up to 1 by now?
Immigrants obviously. Easy to hate. Then people that look like immigrants, then people who support foreign countries that USA does not, so on.
So when does that death camp start? We’re currently 4.3~ years into trumps 8 years of presidency and no signs of any death camps yet.
No signs if you cover your eyes and ignore El Salvadore. Because you literally need big red signs with “Death Camp” written in red, to understand that something is a death camp. It would be impossible to actually prove anything to you.
Illegal immigrants who were determined to be MS13 gang members were deported and you’re claiming death camps lol
I can’t believe you guys actually believe this stuff you’re writing. It’s got to just be reading the party approved talking points manual and parroting their arguments.
The problem with banning people from identifying nazis is of course that the nazis then have a field day doing nazi things, chanting “you aren’t allowed to call me a nazi …”
No one is saying you should be banned from identifying Nazis. What people are saying is that when you call your neighbour a Nazi because they left their bin on the footpath for emptying on the wrong night, people stop caring when you call anyone a Nazi.
Actual Nazi-like people then just get to carry on being disgusting people because when you go “there’s a Nazi!” no one listens to you or cares because you’ve called them all Nazis at some stage too over trivial things.
I don’t think that this guy liked it…
