UK petition: Raise the DWP Christmas Bonus from £10 for the first time in 51 YEARS!!!
https://www.change.org/p/raise-the-dwp-christmas-bonus-from-10-for-the-first-time-in-51-years-%EF%B8%8F
Every year people in the UK on various benefits get a £10 [$12.72 USD, €11.54] bonus for Christmas, which has been unchanged for 51 years. If it had risen with inflation it'd be over £100 now. [$127.20 USD, €115.40]
It's condescending and insulting. So yeah, they should fix that.
