Comment on: Chancellor threatens further welfare cuts
You will be pleased to know that this is the last time you will have to suffer my asinine comments.
I have no interest in participating in a forum where alternate views are not allowed, and are met with such vituperation and insults.
Imbecile?? I wouldn't make this type of comment to even the most imbecilic poster on here.
I hope the moderator looks at these disgusting insults and takes action.
Bye bye. -
Comment on: Chancellor threatens further welfare cuts
What is it with this constant use of the phrase "demonise the poor"? People on benefits are getting a 5.2% pay increase this year which is far more than I or most people can dream of. If this is demonisation then I wish that somebody would demonise me!
The welfare systems costs an unsustainable amount and needs to be reduced - this is an uncomfortable fact. There are many discussions to be had on how to reduce it, but it must come down.
Talk of demonisation is silly and unhelpful. -
Comment on: MPs and peers to examine private rented sector
Harry Lime,
I think that you have probably assessed the situation correctly.
To disagree with the legislation change is quite reasonable, however to call this 'vindictive legislation' is totally missing the point. And if you don't understand the reason for the change, then you reduce your chances of being able to get it modified. -
Comment on: Poverty benefit warning for 250,000 children
Whilst poverty is so ludicrously defined reports such as this have no meaning. Poverty is defined by comparison to a percentage of average income. Let me give two scenarios:
1. If the 40% tax rate were doubled, higher salary earners would receive less, and by the definition of poverty a lot less families would be in poverty, even though their income had not changed.
2. If the 40% tax rate were halved, higher salary earners would be much wealthier, and by the definition of poverty a lot more families would be in poverty, even though their income had not changed.
Get rid of this stupid and grossly misleading definition of poverty, then we can do something about tackling real poverty rather than artificially defined poverty. -
Comment on: Housing sector dominates Sunday Times list
Rushworth's comments must be tongue in cheek, nobody who is allowed to roam free without supervision could be that deluded about the pay and rewards in the sector.
I work for a Housing Association - not public sector, not public funding.
I have never had a bonus, nor have any staff ever had a bonus where I work.
Having spent the majority of my working life in the private sector, I can categorically say that in the area where I work there is nobody throwing lots of pay about. To the contrary, over the years, our pay increase have come nowhere near keeping up with average rent increases.
Tongue in cheek or stupidy? You decide!
