‘I’m 57, I’m just shattered’: The reality of being a Deliveroo rider over 50
#1

“My mum’s 82 and doesn’t live in London. I don’t get to visit her enough because even missing one day of work hits my income. Yesterday I made £15.75 in three hours at lunchtime. I don’t earn enough for the hours I work. I live in social housing and my rent is £150 a week. Currently I’m behind on that and my council tax. I know that Marks & Spencer puts reduced stickers on food at 5.30pm and Co-op at 6.30pm so I try to go then. It’s just a constant struggle. We get no national insurance contributions, no pension, no holiday pay.

The once Great-Britain empire which build on Colonialism and then falling on Welfarism drove their national coffer to near empty.
So tell me, does speaking (good?) England-language makes you rich and give you a good life?
Perhaps in earlier times when some many blindly worshiped AMTK... Big Grin
