Labour To Remove Benefits Cap.

Why do they always want to give our hard earned to work shy layabouts?

[ToraToraTora]

looks like an angry benefits claimer above!

[Mamyalynne]

Perhaps your implication that those on Benefits are mainly work-shy layabouts was somewhat irksome?

[Togo]

If ever lay boor get in I will break the habit of a lifetime, and get myself on benefits with disability allowance and carers allowance pronto.

[Mamyalynne]

Are you going for a painful disability or have you not decided yet?

[scooping]

Question should perhaps read: "Labour is considering removing the benefits cap should they win a general election".

[ToraToraTora]

well it's mainly the baby factories that get to the limit so I'd say "work shy" is accurate.

[Togo]

Mobility and special needs would be a start and once in...well the sky would be the limit. :))

//The cap, first introduced in 2013 but reduced in 2016, limits the income households receive in certain benefits. The idea behind it was that no household should get more in benefits than the average working household.//

Is there something wrong with that?

[Mamyalynne]

Togo, good luck with that - let me know if you need links to specialist equipment etc.

PS

Avoid the opiates if you possibly can.

Why?

Because stealing from people you don't like in order to give (after the deduction of handling charges) to people you do like (or who will vote for you) is the classic modus operandi of the demagogue.

Vice masquerading as virtue.

[Baldric]

Well there's a surprise, Naomi appears to be in favour of giving more of our hard earned cash away.

[naomi24]

Eh?

[tamborine]

Its all pie in the sky! Labour will offer the moon for your vote.

[naomi24]

Another promise that hasn't been costed.

[ummmm]

And won't be able to deliver it.

TTT...I see you haven't read your own link :::::

"Single parents with a child under two have won a court challenge as they face "real misery" from the government's benefits cap"

[youngmafbog]

Perhaps they should have costed things before sprogging and expecting the State to pick up the tab?

[jambutty]

I agree with Mamya at 15:29, they are not all layabouts.

[youngmafbog]

Bet the majority are.
