I came across this little gem quite by accident, and the headline naturally appealed to me….a savings account offering a 50% bonus….with a catch? I thought, what’s the catch? Normally high return accounts only offer this if your have shitloads to save, and even then if you invest it for 10 years and you don’t touch it.
So, I watched our resident shirt lifter Martin Lewis explain to to me in the attached video what it’s all about. Apparently it’s only open to low income workers who are also on Universal Credit, whereby over a period of 2 years saving the government (ie..us, the taxpayer) will reward these savers with a 50% bonus of the highest amount they have saved in that 2 year period. So if you save a grand in the first year, then decide to remove all but a quid of it by the second year, us tax payers will give those on UC a bonus of £500!!
Now, forgive me but if you are drawing benefits from us hard working tax payers because you ‘have no money’ then surely you shouldn’t have enough ‘spare’ to save? And even if you have, wy the fuck are the tax payers paying such a high bonus for saving OUR money to recive it?
Bonkers….and a cunt.

In the land of Bennies everything is free.
I knew some cunt who danced a jig every time he got his disability payments guaranteed for another year. Another used to tell me he was off to collect his ‘wages’. Fucking bandits. Both were Labour voters, obviously. Both of them now get fucking pensions.
Good morning, everyone.

Agree 20k, Bennies are no longer for the needy, they are for anybody who doesn’t wish to work. The difference (£) between work and bennies is so slight, a life on benefits is to attractive, and now is inter- generational ie. The family business.
Mornin’ workers.

Those two cunts and all like them should be tied to a stake and burned to death on a pyre of benefits claims forms and used tyres from Motability cars. Similar treatment to be meted out to all illegals with a pyre made of soiled Serco bed sheets and deflated dinghies. Fuck every single one of ‘em.

Good grief…if you read the smallprint it’s even more alarming..
“Only payable to dark keys and any other random looters staying in a Serco hotel”.
It’s almost like the politicians are trying to buy votes!
They’d never do that.
100% return gilt Oven.
Good morning.

BBC news??? WTF is that??
Go Donald go.

Should’ve realised what you were on about, Harry.

From a clothed monkey to an iron with only two christian names, you are bound to be skint. Open an ISA if you can afford it.

I find the whole economic set up worrying.
I have money, a little money, I live under the radar, do not appear on tenancy agreements ( because I have too much money to qualify, yet not enough to buy a car outright!).
Soon I will inherit a bit of a wedge, and fuck me I am scared, I am going to get fucked over, well I am being fucked over right now, but on finalisation I think the good old gov is going to rape me and finance some new voters with it.

Rachel’s latest wheeze is to tax the self-employed before they’ve earned anything.
So Lord b, you’ll probably have to pay Inheritance Tax on your own estate before you croak.
There’ll be ways of avoiding it of course, which Rodney’s junta will ruthlessly exploit to their own advantage. As always.
11
Because I don’t like listening to people I don’t like, the iron with 2 cristian names, must’ve mentioned an ISA and there wasn’t a mention of the bbc.

I’ll add this to my benefits death wish list alongside Motability and payments to bogus claimants for bogus ailment ADHD, the shower of unprincipled scrounging cunts.

Now tell me benefits isn’t a lifestyle choice for some.

It a career with guaranteed job for life.

Bumboy Lewis has made stacks of money advising people who haven’t got any.
Next he’ll be advising teetotallers on the best booze and incels on how to pleasure a woman.

Another scam set up by this government to give away other people’s money.
I can’t see what this saving scam is about, I thought the whole point of getting people to work was getting them to spend and not be a burden to the tax payer.
Make work pay, well that would be a fucking miracle, ‘people want to work’, no they fucking don’t.
Sit at home, full fibre broadband (free or a massive discount), multichannel 65” TV, heating and lighting on the cheap and better off that the poor cunt down the road who works 40 hours on minimum wage.
The 2 child cap scrapped, ‘who wouldn’t want to bring children out of poverty’, yep ‘relative poverty’ which is a long way from actual poverty. I hate how the cunts use these phrases to justify giving someone else’s money away.
Unemployment is now 5.1%, I wonder why (see above) and as an added bonus scam a ‘disability’ and never have to bother even looking for a job (I have anxiety when I leave the house type disability).
Time to drastically reduce benefits, best cure for unemployment.
12
Yes cut to the bone, and then listen to the howls of anguish, not from the public but the back benches who see their re-election vanishing. Keeping themselves in a (well paid) job is more important than saving the country.
Fuck they would feel it if thee or me was in charge.

The slogan should change from make work pay to make being out of work uncomfortable.

Put all you’ve got on England beating the Australians in the third test match.

All part of bonkers Britain. Whilst I believe genuinely disabled people deserve all the help they can get, I can’t believe that 20% of all new cars are bought under the Motability scheme. I’ve never bought a new car in my life.
As for savings, outside of an isa, you get taxed on the paltry interest meaning it’s worth less in real terms, whilst Sat On Their Arses get a whopping bonus!.

All to true So long.

At least the freeloading cunts will get the 50%. Normally when I see any offers, it will say “up to” next to it in very small letters, so you might end up with virtually sweet fuck all! Promotions beginning with “From” is the other one where you might get fleeced.

Put all your savings on Britain becoming great and all white again, like it was in my hay day I got for free.

in my dystopian view of life I stumbled upon this.

the 13 cycles of humanity, showing us the world of screen dwellers and their evolution, they also seem to not work.

Time has come.
5 year warning.
Scrap the NHS.
Scrap all benefits, apart from fully paid up pension contributions.
Set maximum basic payments for
Disability.
Unemployment.
Sickness.
( No add on’s)
Scrap child benefits ( you had them, you pay for them)
Scrap motabilty.
This would:
A : “encourage” people back in to work.
B : encourage people to lead a healthier lifestyle.
C : discourage uncontrolled legal) illegal immigrants.
D : discourage rampant ethnic breeding.
Would you vote for this..?

This is something I put together and put it inside several local council notice boards.:-

Remember old Fanny Batter, who was laughed out of her local bank because they didn’t believe that was her real name. Must be at the end of her tether being black and little savings.
