INTERVIEWER Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The Tories have already abolished the social fund, in which desperate unemployed people could get crisis loans and budgeting loans for essential items, interest free. The responsibility for these loans has been passed, unfunded, to cash strapped local authorities already reeling from budget cuts. Yet foreign aid to corrupt dictators and super rich nations has been increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitisbad Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 after me and my brother moved out my mum downsized home, There is no way we'd both be able to fit in her new house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hard2miss Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 No doubt another stupid policy to distract attention away from other things. Totally agree, this Government keeps coming out with crack pot ideas when they are uncomfortable with the attention their policies are getting. As soon as they threatened to spy on everyone on the internet I thought it would only last a couple of days before the idea was dropped. They get caught out selling access to the PM and they come out with something crazy while the PM hides under some rock somewhere until it all goes away.

Well anyone finding Tory cut backs should love this. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/9194773/British-taxpayers-pay-for-trees-in-China.html Yep, cuts here, planting there, brilliant.

Oh I must have missed that, was it when he was in Parliament answering question on it, or the part where he was visiting some school and felt he had to give a quick mention it before being whisked off somewhere. Where is he now? Burma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 He's hardly under a rock..don't you watch the news? Shouldn't he be back in the UK doing something to get us out of the mess he's digging us further into instead of holidaying abroad at the tax payers' expense?

Leah-Lacie Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I am sure that housing benefits are unavailable to a childless under 25 that works anyway. Yes, unavailable to one that works - Not unavailable to one that doesn't work. Will making them homeless help them to find work was the issue in question.

Playing devil's advocate.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
