What saddens me more than the idiot Cons bringing it in is the fact that Labour is not fighting it to any meaningful degree - its all fucking nonsense and just works on peoples stupid preconceptions that the welfare budget goes largely on the jobless - if they did understand the stats they would see how insignificant this change is.
If you on benefits you shouldn't have any disposable income. It should just be for essentials. The amount of people who are on benefits claiming they are broke but still smoke, drink and have pets is just amazing.
Another bit of Daily Mail mythology. In real terms the actual amount of money the taxpayer gives the unemployed that's leftover after housing and food is tiny. But hey, its easier to demonise the unemployed for their smoking habits than fix the problem isn't it?

Because its all a game, isn't it?
So it appears - it's pretty disgusting that there are no consciences anymore amongst the major parties - the only time any of them do anything unpopular nowadays is when they have been well paid to do so.
Guess one member of the family will have to go and get a low paid job then instead of sitting on their arse all day.
This has been a long time coming IMO and doubt you will find many working people who disagree with it.
As soon as they start saying I don't have enough money to feed my kids then yes they should put the animals in rehoming centres. If they can't afford to feed the kids they can't afford vets bills and shouldn't be putting animals food before their own.So as soon as a person is made redundant they should just take their pets to the chronically overstocked local animal charity? They already have been since the recession started.
As it will make working a more financially viable choice for many who will also then generate tax revenues.

I can see every argument..but in my job I visit endless houses packed with long term unemployed scroungers who have become a sub class of anti social fuckers who dont give a living fuck about anything because the government will always bail them out..they have 50 inch tvs..iphones..laptops and just sit on their fat asses all day without a care in the world while talking to each other about some cool lad in the area who steals from the people who work and gets them knock off stuffthey are just pointless human beings
They are raising the retirement rate. To 67 from what I have seen if not further
But the earnings cap will be more than 290m. As it will make working a more financially viable choice for many who will also then generate tax revenues. So it more than just the saving
You have some people who really seem to wing it on benefits and some others who seem to actually struggle? It seems like the people who have gone to work, lose their job and end up on benefits are the ones really just struggling to survive?
but those on the dole or whatever you call it now dont have to make the choice to have kids cause the state is always there to support them at a low level
but those on the dole or whatever you call it now dont have to make the choice to have kids cause the state is always there to support them at a low level. However anyone working and not on benefits has to calculate if they can afford that first second third child support them feed them etc etc.
How is it fair that jo tax dodger can have kids with impunity and they will be supported. there are exceptional cases where coucils have build 6 or 7 bedroom houses for unemployed families because all they have done is breed like rabbits. There are people who are in work would like large families but cant afford it. As they wont get all the assistance that those on benefits get.
There needs to be a cap so people think what if .. not carry on regardless of the consequences to everyone else because they feel like it
