juniee Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 so the rich are richer and can spend while the poor get poorer and as the old song it the rich that get the money and its the poor that gets the blame we should be ashamed of the need for food banks in the 21st century and if nick clegg had any shame he should have kept well away in todays mail he has now decided it is the turn of pensioners to suffer in the welfare cuts and still the rich get a tax break and the bankers who caused the mess get bonuses while the sick, the disabled , the unemployed through no fault of their own suffer cuts will his next policy be to bring the workhouses back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey19 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Reading this thread got me pondering on why Britain is such a popular country for people from all over the world to emigrate to and if it is so bad because of changes to the welfare system how many people from this country are emigrating to other countries to better their lot.
