Genuine questions: could these people be in the pay of the regime? And would that, to use language some of them favour, make them both ‘economic migrants’ *and* ‘welfare scroungers’?
I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just
debris from a successful interception.

If only loads of Dubai based accounts, including Isabel Oakeshott's, could tell me.

Lets have a referendum get those scroungers out.

Former business owner here.

If your employees need to claim benefits to make ends meet, they aren't the benefit scroungers.

You are.

i like how British politics is a struggle between youngsters who think their Da needs a pension and said Da who votes Reform because he thinks the youth are all scroungers

Let's put the spotlight on the REAL scroungers.

I am *absolutely sick* of hearing about young people as 'benefit scroungers'. Nearly 60% of welfare spending goes on pensioners! The people writing this stuff know that too.

Hahahaha.

This is the biggest toddler meltdown ever.

"Why did we lose? Muslims, Wokes, Gays, Scroungers, Wind Turbines, Plumbers..."

These are the same twats who moan about benefits scroungers 🤣🤣

“I didn’t know that this would hit my mum. I thought it would only hit those faking scroungers I read about in the Mail.”
Depressing to see BBC headline treating this as if it's a serious proposition

But Reform are serious about returning us to an 18th-century level of social support

So many of their voters depend on the sorts of benefits they would strip away

The real benefit scroungers are billionaires, large corporations and crooked politicians.

"Helen Whatley MP spends every day bashing disabled people online and calling them scroungers.
She has claimed for almost £2,000,000 on expenses since 2015.
£300,000 of this are for her own travel and accommodation etc, yet she lives 50 miles from London. "

Talking of benefit scroungers.
Don't you hate it when fighting age men flee their own country, leaving their families behind, then expect other people to give them a handout.

If Michelle Mone gets to keep the superyacht, the private jet and the seat in the House of Lords, at least give the 'benefit scroungers' narrative a break for a couple of weeks

Scooby-Doo villains unmasked are just those gammon men in the audience who complain about immigration and 'benefit scroungers' constantly on BBC Question Time.

And they have the cheek to say that disabled people are scroungers.

Why isn't non-dom status reclassified as a benefit? Then we could start cracking down on the real big league benefit scroungers.
