Titanic99 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 The Government keeps going on about us all being in this together, but does the reality paint a different picture. From what I can see the losers are as follows: 490,000 Public Sector workers will lose their jobs Social Housing tenants will have funding cut by 50% and new tenants will pay higher rents Armed forces will have significant job losses 18,000 Police jobs Most of us will have to work longer before we get our State Pensions Child Benefit for higher taxpayers Housing and Council Tax Benefit claimants At the risk of stating the obvious, but this looks rather like the Poor are taking the burden rather more than the well-off. Anyway, thanks once again Nick, perhaps you could tell us how we are all in this together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Low income people under 35 (the lowest cohort of voters). Pensioners gained! (the largest cohort of voters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discodown Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Its interesting how Labour supporters blame Clegg for everything. I wonder how they would have felt about him if he'd done a coalition with Labour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sccsux Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Its interesting how Labour supporters blame Clegg for everything. I only blame him for betraying the people who voted for his party (I've never been a labour or conservative supporter - I always used to spoil my papers). Oh, and for reneging on his pre-election promises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanic99 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Its interesting how Labour supporters blame Clegg for everything. I wonder how they would have felt about him if he'd done a coalition with Labour To be honest, I expect the policies announced today from the Tories. I don't expect them from Libdems though! Anyway, the thread isn't about that and is about how it seems that this ridiculous statement they keep mentioning "We're all in this together", is nothing but pure lies and these announcements are nothing more than attacks on Public Servants and the poor.

hitch_1980 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 What is the relevance of this to the thread? Well generally with any budget review, and the news stations hove this in our face,....its all about how it affects individual people families.

I still don't see the relevance to the thread. But for the record I have close family who work in the Public Service, I have friends and family who are Benefit claimants and I don't want to go back to the crime levels I experienced in the early 90's.
