Bob Arctor Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 did you actually believe all that? Heavens no, but I'm sure the spin doctors think it works or the politicians wouldn't keep churning it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Arctor Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Are they being fined though or are they just losing money for the time they are on holiday? Seems like an invoice they are expected to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyofborg Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Never heard of living within your means. If some people cut their cloth to fit they would be able to " live" would you reduce the rent you extort from your tennants so that they no longer need to claim housing benefit?

the_bloke Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 The 'party of small government' is now fining full-time workers on Universal Credit for having a holiday http://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/apr/14/dwp-punishing-low-paid-full-time-workers-under-new-benefits-rule She got a fine for missing appointments at the job centre, and they didn't accept her excuse as being acceptable. Strange system though where you have to go into the job centre and look for more work when you already have a job. All the more reason to increase earnings and scrap the tax credit/UC system entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyofborg Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Begrudging a 'hard working family' a holiday is very harsh, and says a lot about where this country has fallen to. It's about time ordinary hard working people in this country were treated with a bit of respect. welcome to a vision of the post-brexit uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
