Bet they are all on the dole living in council property. Bloody scum
I thought the dole didn’t exist anymore.
Can’t wait to hear the sage of Seaview’s comments on this
If we had CCTV this kind of things wouldn’t happen….. apparently.
🙂
For once I am lost for words, nothing surprises
me anymore what goes on, on the island.
Gone are the days when you could drive around
safely.
There are too many idiots on Island Roads.
Im gummy bear with two dogs
What flavour are you?
Drug peddling shite. This is the scum that gets free housing, hand over fist benefits never questioned, free dentistry, glasses, prescriptions and anything else for free that they can ponce from the tax payer, while the elderly get robbed of their heating allowance and working families screwed out of more and more from their wage packets. This is where the cuts need to be made and other low life waste of space scrotes.
What exactly is a working family thesedays,
majority of so called working families are
shirking from home on full pay doing
fcuk all.
Then as you say we have the benefit families who
earn more staying at home than going to work.
Then you have the poor pensioners many of whom
have worked all their lives only to have their
winter fuel allowance taken away from them.
The country is broken and beyond repair.
Tories tried and failed.
Labour have failed in their first 6 months, they could have
done so much, ut chose to fail.
What is left is Reform, sadly a party with many good
views, sadly majority of their voters are uneducated thugs.
Lol @BMW.
If only they had enough collective brain cells to decide not to pack themselves into that make of car after re-loading.
And what will they get??? uck all
