Mister M Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Jeremy Hunt has told a fringe meeting at this year's Conservative Party conference that cutting tax credits to the low paid and struggling families will teach them the value of hard work. He also suggested in the interview that those reliant on tax credits and benefits lacked self-respect. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/tax-credit-cuts-will-make-people-work-as-hard-as-the-chinese-says-jeremy-hunt-a6680836.html Coming from one of the wealthiest members of the cabinet I think that is insulting to millions of people. Workers in the UK work long hours, and many of the poorest have to struggle managing 2 or 3 low paid jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister M Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 its about time! What's about time? Perhaps you'd enjoy enduring work practices such as these from a country that Hunt professes to admire so much: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/peoplesdaily/article-3260428/Chinese-company-staff-forced-crawl-public-failing-hit-sales-targets.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 No doubt the government will soon be cutting MPs pay to ensure they all work harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 We shouldn't forget of course that China is still a communist country. It became a communist country as a result of the workers being severely pee'd off. What does Hunt want? ---------- Post added 05-10-2015 at 21:55 ---------- No doubt the government will soon be cutting MPs pay to ensure they all work harder. And no more taking the entire summer off or having nearly 4 weeks off at Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Joker Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 How did Hunt manage to get enough people to vote for him to become an MP? Because he wisely kept his trap shut, until the election was over ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 His name is used as a rhyming slang so often that I'm suspecting that Sheffield Forum will soon start to censer his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Good news for Corbyn when this sort of thing happens. Many Tories really do think in these ways and it's incredible that people fail to realise that they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
