    No there is a page on the council website where parents enter their N I number and it calculates your income.
    If your income is under a threshold then you automatically qualify if you earn too much then you don't.

    There may well be Romanians working for your local council but they will be paid the same as the other non Romanian workers so not sure why that's relevant.

    The whole process is probably just automated with a person licking a stamp .

    After independence the cost of Trident will be zero. We will be a nuclear weapon free country and our workers will have an extra day to enjoy the beautiful scenery around ex HMS Faslane. The Waverly will be berthed there.

    Happy days.

    <cheers>

    With Biden in charge putting US troops in Ukraine and China on the verge of taking Taiwan.

    This is one time in history where a nuclear deterrent may actually be a good idea .

    There were kids getting free school dinners back in the 80s when I was at school there are still kids getting free school meals.

    I'm not really sure why you are so fixated about it .
    I was a Thatcher child so I guess she was a socialist by that definition

    Against a 4 day week ?

    I worked 4 × 10 hour shifts which can work but the SNP weren't suggesting that .

    Yes that's retarded and unworkable .

    Which is the only thing I was opposed to not school dinners or nuclear missiles.

    You think you're 'in credit' with the taxes you paid? It's the most retarded thing you've posted on here in a while, which is quite an achievement <applause>

    The constant accusation that I'm taking money from the government is retarded that's how a functioning society works.

    I pay contributions for 25 years in case I need to go to hospital or unable to work temperararily.

    I resent housing and paying for people that have never contributed to the system .

    I have received a fraction of what I paid in as "hand outs".

    The system you are paying into is a safety net in case you get sick or unable to work .

    You genuinely have no idea how taxation works, do you? It's not a piggy bank ffs.

    National insurance and deductions taken from me is not charity if I receive a fraction back .
    I didn't mention taxation

    That's not socialism.

    No you retard , in a civilised society I pay a large chunk of my salary for decades in the hope that I work until retirement without needing to withdraw from the pot .

    For example you smoke heavily and highly likely to get cancer and spend time in hospital with respiratory problems.

    If that leaves you unable to work your contributions will be returned through healthcare and you may need government assistance by way of universal credit .

    You don't know what's around the corner and may be unable to work.

    Until my daughter is old enough to safely come home by herself from school I am a full time single parent and unable to work.

    I didn't just arrive on a boat and having my life paid for me without contributing to the system.

    Weird how you have so much empathy for illegal immigrants that get free money without contributing but look down your nose on British people who's family and ancestors built the country and through no fault of their own receive assistance.
