I am so disappointed in Labour, really thought they were going to be different. I know the Tories left a massive black hole in the economy but surely there are better ways to raise money; the tax payer alliance have put forward several options, none of which impinges on the squeezed middle, these must be looked at by the government.

We're being lied too constantly,but modern day politicians don't even try to hide the hypocrisy anymore,because they know their untouchable, and that's democracy? No the acting like oligarchs.,writing the rules to suit them,something had to change in this country,beginning with government.
It reminds me of Johnson telling people to buy a fast boiling electric kettle to save paying for gas when it all went through the roof. Utter disgrace and should be his epitaph
Warren Mitchell (Alf Garnett) was a staunch Labour party supporter and believed the government at the time needed more firebrands, completely different to his fictional character.
Warren Mitchell satirical depiction of a war veteran, complaining about migration and liberalism was played to ridicule those people of the period. Johnny Speight found many of those types around the country, ex WW2 servicemen that were disgruntled with the way the world was going. Alf Garnett is a caricature of what today is known as a ‘far right thug’
For once, I agree with Alf Garnett. What he said in this clip is basically the plight of many elderly pensioners in this country in 2024 after having their winter fuel allowance taken away. The booklet that Alf was reading in the clip is just the kind of thing a government department of health would produce. It may even actually exist in some D.W.P. office near you right now.
@petermizon4344 True, many people, mainly thick working class Tory voters, didn't get it, that the Alf Garnett character was a send up of that type of thick working class Tory voter, but on that one and only time I agreed with what was being said by Alf Garnett in the short clip.

People may complain it is now being taken away, but pensioners also need to remember they have had help for nearly twenty years in the UK which no one else on the planet has benefitted from.
