    The Energy Crisis.

    There’s no question that the present state of affairs with price rises is beyond the pale but did anyone see the interview with the couple of SKY today?

    Both not working due to her legs “seizing up” but she couldn’t actually specify what the condition was.....I diagnosed it as a case of “Lazy F u c k” but I stand to be corrected.

    Both were severely overweight, he was huge and looked to be in the 20 stone region.

    I don’t think people think before they speak on TV because the blokes next line was absolutely priceless..........

    “We haven’t known whether to buy food or put the heating on”.

    I thought to myself, “it’s pretty obvious what choice you both made f a t s o!”.

    TV stations pander to these lazy t w a t s who want something for nothing all the time.

    Why don’t they wait at the end of the driveway for a father of three who’s just got back from 8 hours plus overtime in an Amazon warehouse and his wife who’s arriving home at 1.00am from her late shift at the Spar shop after doing her second job of the day........ask grafters like these the same question.

    It’s always the same, it’s the work shy and scroungers who get interviewed.

    Their opinion isn’t relevant, they offer nothing to society whereas millions of hard workers who do deserve a voice don’t get airtime.

    It makes my p I s s boil, why are the ones supposedly on starvation money always so vastly overweight?

    This mantra about only being able to afford poor quality and highly calorific food is a load of b o l l o x,you still have to consume huge amounts to become 18-20 stone in weight.

    And if you’re out of work you’ve got more time to exercise and to stay healthy of mind and body.

    We give media time to entirely the wrong type of people in this country.

    My son and his partner have a very low joint income and she goes out and does the graveyard shift at a local Tesco even though she has two kids and is heavily pregnant.

    Nobody from SKY is ever waiting to ask her opinion on the cost of living!

    Key features: They are always ”victims” and it’s always ”someone else’s fault”.

    We have them over here too…

    Post of the week and so true!! Being so fat actually increases the burden on the NHS through what it does to the organs. Unless it’s a medical condition - I hate to see fat kids as it’s neglect! Even on a shoestring budget you can choose the right healthy food so no excuse!

    Some places actually if super fat and a person has a-medical note they offer with a GP note free gym sessions - do you think many take it up!

    Ever been seated in a plane or a football match next to an empty seat then you see a big fat f ucker shuffling along - your inner thoughts are please please don’t sit next to me!

    Surely if you take up 1.5 seats you should be charged 1.5 x the price!!

    That’s why I don’t like coastal resorts unless there’s no amusements and just walks - full of fat ****ers scoffing fish and chips and candy floss!

    Some of these obese folk claim that they can’t afford healthy food, nonsense, fresh vegetables are very cheap, certainly far cheaper than buying ‘food’ at McDonalds and such like purveyors of edible cr@p. Many supermarkets sell off food at the end of the day so cheaply that it is virtually given away. It is certainly ludicrous to claim food poverty and live on junk food and takeaways. I have great sympathy for those in genuine food poverty but claiming to be in that state and stuffing yourself with expensive junk really shouldn’t wash with anyone.

    It’s called out n out laziness
    If they have that much time free they can get fresh ingredients and cook from scratch
    Look how many of these cooking shows there are with some cook going round blowing peoples minds by cooking from scratch

    Growing up we didn’t have much money but always got freshly cooked food that my mum made with cheaper cuts of meat or mainly vegetarian stuff, we were lucky to get a takeaway only fish n chips, once a week if that

    Processed crap is full of all that stuff that makes you I’ll, in fact I’m sure fresh stuff is too with the pesticides but that’s another story.

    Same here BS, we were quite poor when I was 0-10 years of age but we had fresh vegetables and cheap cuts of meat or corned beef with potatoes for most teatimes after school.

    Same at my nan’s houses.

    Funny how our grandparents and parents were able to cut, wash and cook veg yet these lazy f u c k s can’t.

    I’m so fed up of seeing these lazy c u n t s being wheeled out for interviews on TV.

    Focus on the hard working poor and do something to help them FFS.

    I’m sick of seeing these families where the husband has chosen to be the full time carer to their fat f u c k of a wife, in a large number of cases it’s just a very convenient arrangement that allows them to have a lazy life.

    The people renting my father in law’s house are a case in point.

    Neither partner works due to their supposedly sick daughter.

    Same sick daughter constantly dolled up and out and about and showing her t I t s and a r s e on Facebook yet not allowing access to agent to check the state of the property or for gas and electrical checks to be done.

    Already in court later this month about non payment of rent and refusal to leave a previous privately rented property.

    So non of them work, they claim off the state and at the same time they’re getting money from McMillan Cancer towards the rent.

    F u c k I n g scum, potentially not vacating this property which needs to be sold to pay for a 92 year olds full time dementia care.

    This type of lowlife know every trick in the book when it comes to bleeding the state and anybody else dry.

    Sound awful, stuff like that really gets my goat

    Too many privileged people who think they are due something or can blag something, it shouldn’t be that easy

    Why should you able to live off the state and get holidays, takeaways, designer stuff, sky tv , when some hard working low income families would only dream of that

    The media love to portray this stereotype that says if you are on a low income then you are thick and lazy, they deliberately pick the worst folks they can find because it makes us watch, everyone of us on here would be a damn site better off never reading a newspaper or watching the news, nothing good ever comes from it, just doom and gloom.

    Agree with much of this but beg to differ regarding food prices as it is much cheaper to buy, say, packets of crisps or biscuits than it is fresh fruit and veg. Another problem -as my better half is always pointing out-is that so many people just don't know how to cook these days. A lot of our generation were brought up to always eat what we were given and there was little food waste as all left overs were used. The better half is a very good cook and can make meals out of anything seemingly but this knowledge is being lost as too many either don't know how or are else too lazy to even try.

    There are those who have a genuine need to use food banks and these include both those on benefits and low paid workers. Much of this may be because their benefit money does not cover their rent and so they spend a higher proportion on rent and have less for food. On the other hand there are plenty who claim they have no money to feed the kids but always seem to have a smart phone/ Sky tv /manage to get a take-away/ smoke/ buy alcohol etc so have effectively made a choice not to have money to feed their kids! This sense of entitlement really gets my goat 😡 Having said all this, it is easy to get deflected by such examples as there is a genuine issue with inequality in this country and the money lost on wasters is a drop in the ocean compared to the billions owned by the few.
