Christine Donaldson@BettinaStruff and they grudge us every penny π₯Ί
π³ππππ π―πππππ@BettinaStruff Iβm not sure how to read that. If youβre a more affluent country with fewer working people below the breadline, benefits will be lower. What does this actually tell us?
Stuart D Neilson@HelenTheWalt @BettinaStruff The graph displays State pension. The UK is the worst country (of those displayed) to be a pensioner, with one of the highest rates of poverty in old age.
@StuartDNeilson @BettinaStruff ah gotcha. The term social security threw me. In that case, yes our pensions are dire!
Teckide@BettinaStruff Germany became worse too
Sean Barnes@BettinaStruff I can't believe that we are below the Americans?
LiverpoolExile@BettinaStruff The UK population has become accustomed to very poor public services, low pensions, a struggling health service etc etc. We are constantly told we should be grateful but you only need to speak to people from other European countries to find out that our services and "benefits" are shockingly low. We need to wake up and expect and demand better. Don't believe all the "it's a global issue" lies.
rennertweb@BettinaStruff oh oh, Germany π€¨

Playtimes Over@BettinaStruff
Yet more proof that it is not our benefits system that is attracting asylum seekers.
The right wing in the country will never be happy. Show them this graphic and they will still argue that we are paying too much.
