A tale of Christmas Winterval woe
An observant reader emailed me the link below.
It's a story in my local "news"paper, it tells of a couple and their broken down boiler and how: "They spent a miserable Christmas huddled together..."
I don't want to spoil the story, go and read it, make sure you read the comments easily the best part. The story is here.
It's comforting to see the people of York in gerneral have the right idea. It's pathetic to see our useless "news"paper coming out with this drivel and expecting people to pay for it.
What's even worse is that time and again, money is taken from those who've earned it, taken by the state with the threat of imprisonment and then dished out to whichever claimant fills out a form. It I want a new bolier (mine is over 30 years old) I'll have to pay for it myself, where's my state handout? Instead I have to make do with my old one and pay for their new one as well. It's a disgrace.
