What are they trying to do.

What is this Government trying to do to people/ I've no link but the Sunday mirror this morning, the government are thinking AGAIN of cutting benefits, not the Pensioners, but people that are already on benifits, will this encourage people to start stealing from the better off?

[lady-janine]

the trick is getting past their gated grounds and into their mansions.

I haven't seen a link so don't know the precise details. Maybe the Govt is trying to reduce the number of people who claim benefits they're not entitled to or better encourage people to try harder to support themselves and their families. Do you think a reduction in benefits gives people the right to steal off others?

I checked the Mirror site @ 1020ish , didn't see anything.

Don't the "better off" already pay the benefits through taxes?....stealing from them would be to bite the hand that feeds.....

Obviously there are people who need and deserve help but too many should be looking to get OFF benefits not grabbing more....good luck to the chancellor if he can reduce these parasites...they are already stealing from the "better off"..MHO

I heard it on the news this morning, Osborne is to announce it sometime this week. Apparently we all have to chip in to help the country's financial problems (or words to that effect)!

[TWR]

Does this mean, if he can reduce these parasites...they are already stealing from the "better off"..MHO the politicians that fiddle their expenses? would that mean politicians spend on a meetings, what some families have to live off for a week? would that also mean some knob head of a politican spending around £200 a roll on wallpaper for his office?

[dotty.]

i reckon I could furnish my front room for £200, including the paint and wallpaper.....not knock off either, just using freecycle and probably Aldi, it would be a challenge but the hardest part would be the decorating, don't like hanging wallpaper.
