Exactly. Music was amazing, choreography was excellent as always , and he should have been in the semi - BUT personally I didn’t vote for him because he just didn’t make me *feel* anything. I never got emotional, whereas I have with the others (except George).

Surprised they haven’t barred disabled people too, they hate us as much as they hate trans women. Labour is overtly evil now.

There aren’t enough antidepressants to cope with the amount of utter horrific corruption and awfulness going on.

They are, but in that case they should have put it in inverted commas.

I liked the original audiobooks back in the day; Stephen Fry’s voice is v soothing and they were easy listening. Ditto the early films, very nostalgic. Since Joanne became so evil I won’t give her even a penny of my money now though, hateful old hag. Actors doing Potter now are on my shit list.

You clearly know nothing about applying for PIP, especially how disabled you need to be to qualify for higher rate mobility. Plus despite having it explained that “you” are NOT “buying” ANYONE A CAR, you are not listening. It clearly suits you to believe the Daily Mail instead, so I’m not engaging.

It’s about you being happy to pay for the Royals, for MPs 2nd homes, cars, energy, expenses, subsidised booze & meals, but you don’t want to pay towards benefits for people who are disabled and need a car to get to work, to hospital, to fit their wheelchair in.
*Even if that could be you one day.*

“The taxpayer” still contributes towards disability benefits whether or not the disabled person chooses to spend their PIP on leasing a car through Motability or not.
Now the pertinent point is that YOU don’t want your taxes to go towards disability benefits.
It’s not a scam, or about the cars.

The monthly cost to lease the car is paid directly to Motability instead of to the disabled person; this is the higher rate mobility component of PIP which is notoriously difficult to get. You can choose to have it paid to you to cover the costs of a car/wheelchair/powerchair/taxis/ instead. …/

Let me correct you; Motability does NOT cost “the taxpayer” (which includes many disabled people btw) £3 billion. The “buying cars” is done by Motability, who *leases* the cars to disabled people for 3 years. We pay an upfront non-refundable payment of between 0 and £5000+, out of our own money. ../

😆😆Where did you pull that figure from? Your arse? Honestly.
November 26, 2025 at 8:06 PM
We DO pay for our own vehicles under Motability - it’s a lease arrangement. We pay an Advance Payment every 3 years (we don’t get that back at the end, btw), then our entire mobility component of PIP goes straight to Motability every month. “The public” doesn’t fund it.

😂😂Mine would be David Olusoga (and maybe some of the historians he interviewed in “Empire”). He seems very calm and capable, so hopefully I should be ok.

Always reminds me of Kitty in BBC Ghosts. 😂

What makes you think I have a luxury car? I have an entry level automatic SUV that I can drive with my functional leg and that fits my powerchair in the boot.
Who made you so bitter, by the way? You seem really resentful that some disabled people can lease a car to get to work. That’s quite sad.
