On A Claire Day by Carla Ventresca and Henry Beckett for July 14, 2024

Same old, same old.

Obviously Claire doesn’t live in Canada, where your tax $$$ pays … even specialists.

I’ve been retired almost seven years… I don’t pay tax anymore… I’m on retirement benefit… His Majesty’s Revenue & Customs… in their infinite wisdom… have decided that THEY OWE ME a refund… It’s only £16.60… but it’s better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick… I’ll try not to spend it all in the same place…

Cell phone 112!? WTH?

Pay bills.

Little enough— for a while.

The true reality of your raise, try and stay above water.
