AI does not support its words with references to facts.

More people didn't vote for Trump than did vote for him if you count the people who voted for a third party or didn't bother to vote at all. Statistics are tricky little bastards.

Not necessarily people on here but I suspect many are taking advantage of it. I have no proof of it though. Not to say they are not deserving and they are not disabled but because the government has made it difficult THEY have made it so that some people are deserving and others are not because it is POINTS based. Those that can navigate it can get the benefits those that can't understand the POINTS, which many disabled can't will not qualify. Do you understand the problem? Many people who are disabled are NOT receiving benefits because of POINTS.
What do you think is going to happen now with the new 4 point rule? That is the way it is going. The GOVERNMENT is saying some peoples disability IS deserving and other are not. The government is bringing this into law. That is how it is going to be from now on if we don't do something about it and nothing is done about it.

so if you take that example Labour never got in . But lets not forget that Trump got the house the senate and the popular vote .

If you have read my comments before, I have always said that it does not matter which party rules - the course to reduce payments to the disabled and pensioners has been adopted long ago and is being steadily implemented.

Replace "Trump" with "Biden" in your comment - nothing will change.

Exactly. In any country this is true so " all America support Trump" is demonstrably untrue!

Hi all, I think we are at risk of getting a little off track with the Trump discussions here.
Please can we move the discussion back on to the Green Paper issues. There's lots that we won't agree on when it comes to politics, especially with the world as it is now! But let's try to keep the conversation civil and on topic where possible please 😊

You can use Google Translate to read Ukrainian and Russian news channels as they describe the same situation on the front. And also translate Russian and Ukrainian versions of BBC.com

What does Trump have to to do with us losing our benefits?

Nothing, really. (Thread drift). Back on topic folks.

Do scope moderators have the ability to mute or suspend accounts on here ....
Far to many posts which aren't relevant to the benefits cuts

I’ll start. My pip (lower mobility rate) came on Tuesday, and I got a “rise” from £28.70 to £29.20 - a fifty pence rise! That’s incredible! , I mean …..

whatever will you spend it on lol

I’m staying off this thread at moment for the exact same reason. It needs brought back into focus.

He didn’t. Around 38.7 percent of eligible Americans voted for Trump. His approval rating has gone down further since the election and is now lower than his contemporaries at this time for sixty years. Kamala was unelectable having being ‘shuffled’ in but it was by no means a landslide. He is particularly unpopular with voters on the economy at the present time. This is not a forum/ topic about Trump and I’ve asked moderators to remind folk of that but you should revisit facts about his popularity.

I've been unusually busy today. Could anyone explain what the various charities/ organisations hope to gain by boycotting the discussions around this green paper?
Have they concluded it is a waste of time/energy as it's already a done deal? 😕
