bagger Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 It doesn't matter how worthy the vast majority are, the country is broke and the benefits system is flawed. It needs reforming and it needs to end up cheaper than before. Very true. But I hope the government chase the genuine workshy back to work rather than focusing on easy targets such as those who are unwell and single mothers of very young children. For many people living on benefits is a lifestyle choice. That's got to be wrong. There's something wrong with a country and it's society when it's more financially beneficial to be receiving state handouts than do a days work.

Ask yourself this, in five, ten, fifteen years time, do we still want the state to pay people more money to do nothing than they can get by being employed? I don't think the status quo is acceptable so it has to change sometime, and with the budget deficit and money being so tight, now is as good a time as any to make the change. -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 It doesn't matter how worthy the vast majority are, the country is broke and the benefits system is flawed. It needs reforming and it needs to end up cheaper than before. The country is broke yet Cameron can afford to appoint his own cronies onto the public payroll. I quote: 'Isabel Spearman, Special Advisor to Samantha Cameron, she will work 4 days a week on a salary of £60,000, helping the PM's wife co-ordinate her diary, and choose outfits for engagements at home and abroad. 'Anna-Maren Ashford, will work in the flagship behavioural insight team in the Cabinet office, on a salary of £50,000.' 'Risha Saha, ex Tory candidate, will control the PM's personal Web Cameron site, he earns around £50,000.' 'Andrew Parsons, is to become the PM's personal photographer on a salary of £35,000.' And there are another 20 odd appointments (mainly old friends and associates) on 'team Cameron' on similar salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INTERVIEWER Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 It doesn't matter how worthy the vast majority are, the country is broke and the benefits system is flawed. It needs reforming and it needs to end up cheaper than before. The country can't be that broke if Cameron can give an extra £450 million a year to unelected EU bureaucrats whose accounts haven't been signed off for 16 years in a row. This is on top of the £billions we already give to the institutionally corrupt EU. Chancellor George Osborne has publicly stated that the budget of the Department for International Development would be increased by 37 per cent in real terms. Figures show that the UK spending on foreign aid - including the amount spent by departments other than DFID - will rise by 50 per cent, increasing from £8.4billion this year to £12.6billion in 2014.
