iansheff Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Well I have just read this article in the Mirror this morning and found a link to it on their website http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/10/31/wilf-s-sad-plight-damns-these-heartless-cuts-115875-22677438/ Cameron and Osborne can tell us they are looking after the vulnerable and only targetting the scroungers as much as they like but stories like this show how little they care about the ordinary people. They live in their big houses oblivious to the real world, in the article it says Iain Duncan Smith who is presiding over the cuts lives rent free in a 2 million pound mansion.To think that people such as Wilf who fought for this country and worked for it after the war paying their taxes for decades are treated makes me sick, shame on you Cameron and Osborne.

harvey19 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Until I hear the councils reply I view this as sensational reporting. Sensationalism sells papers and people can read what they want to hear. Balanced reporting is what is needed before accepting a story as factual.
