Yeah he’s living the dream. Truly, do people realise how messed up the situation is in the uk and how nearly all stats that show a positive outlook are fake? Take the nhs, and government ratings. Hospitals rate as good or outstanding but google reviews show 1-2.5 average ratings at most. People waiting in queues, patients begging to see doctors, wrong prescriptions. Schools riddled by drugs and gangs, roads filled with potholes, and the list goes on.

People ignoring these issues dont love the country. Something needs to change asap otherwise the uk will disintegrate.

> Yeah he’s living the dream.

You're attacking a straw man.

My point was simple: the claim that he lives "off £30 a month" is untrue.

I didn't suggest he's "living the dream", and I don't envy his situation. But I can see how you or others might envy his situation, as he doesn't have to work, has a home to himself with all bills paid, has a source of free food, plus some cash to supplement that.
