But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played 833960866

Lee @leeeyres.bsky.social · 08/10/2026As someone from a family of working class east end cockneys, we were offered council housing in Surrey so that they could demolish our slum which we took in 1961. I'm not sure you'd persuade us to go back (although I'm not sure we're still working class or cockney other than in the technical sense) 110

Lee @leeeyres.bsky.social · 08/10/2026When it was introduced it was to bring pensions up as they were among the lowest in Europe (while we were amongst the richest countries at the time). There should have been an end point attached then e.g. when we meet the European median or mean figure. Just carrying on ad infinitum isn't feasible. 030

Lee @leeeyres.bsky.social · 08/10/2026You've missed the 'people are too lazy to read' option. I personally miss loads of detail if I listen to an audio book rather than reading on paper/kindle, but I could listen to a book when driving for example so there is still a good reason to have them. 000
Lee @leeeyres.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It's a sensible political position to say lets look at all the options rather than appearing to push through their desired one. You eventually have looked at all the options and everyone now agrees this is the way forward is a much more compelling political answer. 100
