max Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 It's a typical Tory policy designed to satisfy their voters. Listening to the news last night there are fewer than 50,000 claimants who get more than £26k pa and the amount of exceptions they are going to include in the bill will bring those down to a few thousand. It makes good headlines for the DM and will have their readers spitting their cornflakes out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daily mail readers arent like that, Rich. They are sometimes ignorant, sometimes biggoted but to say that is totaly untrue. I suspect you are 'getting your defence in first' and trying to tar a section of society a certain way because it fits YOUR ignorant stereotype.

That wasn't what I wanted explaining, Could you explain why benefits not being cut to £26000 would please Daily Mail readers? I quote 'Tory ministers are to backtrack on their pledge to cap state welfare hand-outs at £26,000 a year. The retreat, which is a sop to Lib Dems, will overturn a promise that no household on benefits should be given more than the average family earns' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
