Lincolnshire:
– Child poverty Rate: 28%
– Pensioner poverty Rate: 14%
Guess what group can vote and is prioritised for freebies.
Yet more money funnelled to the economically inactive.
I wonder which councillor owns a company that sells air fryers.
Local authority does a good thing, Redditors find a way to debase it. Poor show people.

£69.99 on sale currently, £119.99 normal price.
If no additional discount was provided (and if this is a legal charitable donation they probably were given a discount) this would cost between £419,940 and £719,940.
If I lived there I would ask for my council tax back….
When the council go bankrupt, hopefully they can take them back and sell them for a little something.
Not only is this a terrible use of public funds, but it flies in the face of Conservative values.
This is a Conservative led council failing to uphold Conservative values.
the purpose of government is providing public goods
these goods will either not be provided by the free market (EG: national parks) or at insufficient quantities relative to societal benefit (EG: policing)
how exactly is this anything other than just giving people free shit without any societal benefit?
I can guarantee that my 87 year old grandmammy would flat refuse to learn to use an air fryer and would happily keep using the same chip pan that has been on the go since 2001.
As long as the energy companies don’t have to reduce their prices, this is a fine idea. /s
God is the place toxic to anyone over a certain age. The money came from the governments Household Support Fund and is for those struggling financially. Funding is aimed at anyone who’s vulnerable or cannot pay for essentials. But yeah, fuck the pensioners
