What is terrible is the amount of waste in the public sector - so you need to increase spending disproportionately to get any kind of positive outcomes.

Spending on public services is an easy way to get things moving - unfortunately it only ever has very short term benefits as the last Labour government realised.

Today should be fun, there are some real gems lined of to speak

Theresa May & Chris Grayling impersonating the Krankies tearing up the Human Rights Bill

And to top it all off tomorrow, Camoron will be trying to out-UKIP, UKIP

Tax Credits will be frozen for 2 years from 2016 under a re-elected Tory government. I know i'm a dirty, filthy scrounger for claiming them, but if my employer, and most other people's employers paid them a suitable wage, i wouldn't need them. Cost of living will have further increased by then, and my average payrise per year in my 8 years with my current employer is around 7p, so... struggles ahead.

Gidiot need to find £25bn further savings, who better to fund them than the already impoverished?

I believe in a appropriately sized and funded state, where those in [igenuine[/i need get the assistance they [igenuinely[/i require.



You have no idea of the circumstance of any of those things.



as it stands, I couldn't, not to a standard I'd find acceptable, hence I haven't been irresponsible and had kids like shelling peas, unfortunately some of the rest of the population just make selfish decisions and expect people to pick up the tab for them. "well, they're rich, innit, they can pay for me to sit on benefits street"

I'll assume you're not wishing misfortune upon me, not you usual style. And yes, I do Ski, and I also have the relevant insurance to cover me in the event of an accident.

And, as I said above, most Americans have the adequate level of insurance in place PRIOR to making a decision to have children.

We have different opinions, as has been proven over many years, and, with a fair wind for us both, will last many more years. I simply cannot see how [iconstantly[/i bemoaning people wealth, and yet expecting them to underpin an overly generous welfare system is logical.

Cameron has, and earns, money some[/i people who genuinely cannot work, but not as many as those who are [iclaiming[/i they cannot work.

as it should be, the State didn't get her pregnant!?

And you wonder why you get abuse, you bring it all on yourself.

Irony, a man who got everything he has by inheriting it seeks to stop others getting something for nothing...

it was a personal choice for her to get pregnant, I get abuse because some posters are Teflon when it comes to the AUP.

I'll take a wild guess that you were born in Beverley Westwood NHS hospital and your parents didn't pay a penny for your birth because the state didn't get your mother pregnant did they? I'll take another wild guess and say that your parents didn't pay a fee for you at the state school South Hunsley that you went to either.

Why would a poster receive abuse for that viewpoint?

wrong, but keep cracking on.

because it doesn't fit with he "waaah waah waaah, I've made little out of life and it's someone else's responsibility to pay" mentality?

I'll bet my mortgage is was an NHS hospital and your parents didn't pay a penny because yours and my grandparents who were working and paid taxes then paid for your birth as with your education just as you are funding the OAP's of today and the kids of todays education. Thats the way how this country works, if you don't like it, go and live somewhere you are alright Jack.

No, I'll stay and remain incredibly tax efficient, thanks.

too many hangers on and freeloaders, just my opinion.
