Sadly, this completely misunderstands the nature of universal benefits. Free bus travel which is now embodied in the London freedom pass is a universal benefit based purely on age so yes Michael is entitled to it because of his age.

If I came from a family that has held a seat in House of Lords for 7 generations and used it to protect their vast empire from Tax and Inheritance Tax. I probably wouldn't be complaining about free bus passes for Senior Citizens. You'd look ridiculous.

You have missed my point. You are personalising a debate about benefits and national debt. There is zero reason to open a debate about this by talking about something you know nothing about: ie my disposable income.

Kirst Allsopp (the honourable) was born into an aristocratic family with an hereditary peerage (her father was the 6th Baron Hindlip) yet she wants you to think that free bus travel for the over 65s is the problem.

Lords on £365 a day to have a kip, MPs on subside meals and booze and extortionate expenses , not to mention the Royals. All paid from the public purse. But Kirsty Allsopp is rattling on about Michael Rosen's bus pass. 🙄

Leaving aside the discussion as to whether I should or should not have a Freedom Pass, I'm glad to say that Kirstie Allsopp's tweet has had 1.8 million views. As Kirstie mentioned Michael Rosen Day in it, I have to thank Kirstie for that.

And which paper has been in the forefront of the charge against the shoddy standards at the BBC? 🤔 Not splicing two bits of comment together, instead making the quote up entirely 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can be a sheep and accept Elon Musk's groundless claim that the EU is attacking free speech. Or you can try to understand why the EU is fining Twitter. It is not an attack on free speech.

Huge congratulations to Joseph O'Connor who has been awarded the Irish Book of the Year 2025 this evening, for his remarkable The Ghosts of Rome. The novel is a beautifully written thriller set in Nazi occupied Rome in 1944. Comhghairdeas Joseph!👏 kennys.ie/shop/kennys-ex…

X has nothing to do with free speech. It is a media outlet using its algorithm to decide what millions of people do and don’t see. If you pay-you get promoted, if you share extreme content-you get promoted, if you don’t, you don’t. Banning X would have zero impact on free speech.
