Jonny5 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Nobody is sure they will, but one thing is certain, any cuts to welfare under Labour will be nowhere near as bad as what we see now and won't be used to subsidise tax cuts for the rich. Stop trying to flip the argumentI've always voted Labour or Green. However the endless blind criticism of the Conservatives needs flipping. Especially when the current Labour alternative is every bit as bad. Anyhow, turns out that Labour will be making just as many cuts as the Tories, and just like the Tories their cuts are under wraps too! But its alright, we can trust them. Blindly. Why just look at how well they've run South Yorkshire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I've always voted Labour or Green Or at least you say you have. Your posts point to the contrary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 A council colleague of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer on Friday, it has spread to the lymph nodes; she is back at work on Monday morning. I do have sympathy with people in similar circumstances that are getting squeezed by benefit cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederick1 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Not relevant! Don't we have a right to know exactly what we are voting for? I, for one, would not knowingly vote for cuts to the disabled and their carers. It is already a difficult, life limiting and thankless task caring for someone. Doing it for a pittance saves the NHS a fortune. To be further impoverished for your efforts is disgraceful. . So truer Anna B! My daughter was in caring for around 20 years and was STILL on minimum wage! That includes weekends, bank holidays, early mornings, late nights etc. Needless to say, she has left the "profession"! ---------- Post added 30-03-2015 at 09:57 ---------- Nobody is sure they will, but one thing is certain, any cuts to welfare under Labour will be nowhere near as bad as what we see now and won't be used to subsidise tax cuts for the rich. Stop trying to flip the argument There were just as many tax dodgers during the last labour government Mecky! Did they sort it out? This government hasn't either!

Nobody is saying there wasn't but the rich have had a 5% tax cut under the tories at the same time ordinary families are struggling and it's still not enough for the rich. They are squirelling away even more these days and don't forget Cameron rubber stamped massive bonuses for bankers and big business leaders since seizing power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To claim otherwise, whilst technically true is disingenuous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are squirelling away even more these days and don't forget Cameron rubber stamped massive bonuses for bankers and big business leaders since seizing power This guy (and the figures) say that the rich are being taxed more than at any time under Labour " that means the top rate of tax will be higher in each and every year of this coalition government than under any full year of the last Labour government.” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9974823/We-are-soaking-the-rich-more-than-Labour-Danny-Alexander-boasts.html What did G.Brown do for the low paid..oh yeah, he took the 10p tax band away...good old Labour..standing up for the workers..
