Let’s see. . .54,000 pounds times 1.74 dollars per pound means they receive roughly a little over 90,000 dollars per year in direct benefits.
Poor dears. . .
I am in London right now and the exchange rate is about 1.74 per pound. 53,000 pounds times 1.74 = about 90,000 bucks.
Where Do I sign up.!!!
Special rights based on sexual activity is surefire national suicide
