As I said on immigration Blair opened the door and everyone since has kept it open. Now Blair say that the door should be closed, does that not make him a right wing fascist?
When one government gets away with something any following government thinks oh , well they got away it lets just carry on. As a certain thicko, on this board, thinks its great to take of the pensioners, well it starts with the winter fuel allowance. Then they have a go at some other benefit and so it goes. Starmer and those that follow will not be happy with just taking £300 quid.
Gordon Brown brought in the WFA because pensioners could freeze, so we must assume that the pensioners today are better off after the years of Tory so called miss- rule.
If Labour backtracks on the non-doms, then they will be seen to be putting wealthy foreigners first, before pensioners, as they would accuse the Tories, if they did it !
And those you hear on TV or read about who do not need the WFA, but say they can't stop it, well all they have to do is contact the WFA Centre with their details and NI number and job done. There was an ex-Labour MP on TV a few days ago saying that he tried to stop it but could not, a liar.
