Govt Cutbacks

Fri Mar 09, 2012 11:18 am

Sorry gang but I've gotta get this off my chest.
Due to the government cutbacks my disabled wifes benefits are being cut.
I've now been informed by our friendly DSS that if I give up my full time job and only work part time for £100 a week. With tax credits and care allowance I won't be much worse off!
Where is the logic in that?
Anyway let's smash Bristol City tomorrow!

Mate, you can go back all the way to Baldwin if you like. Every single Tory government have cut back and managed to convince us it's our own fault.

Three rules to be a Tory PM:

1. Cut Back.
2. Blame everyone else.
3. Never ever take ANY responsibility for anything. AND ALWAYS SEE RULE 2.
4. Get your Tory mates at the BBC and national press to convince us numpties that they are doing it for our own good and it's our own fault.

If you check you will see that every single Tory government since the 1920's have followed the above rules to the letter.

All the while they make the cuts, the fat cats get richer. You won't see those rich fuckers losing out. Plus the only thing they never ever cut back is the amount of tax we pay. They cut back what we get for our money but they never cut what we pay.

I'm no lover of the Laborious Party either, mind. They haven't covered themselves in glory.

I know that things need to be taxed ect, but in the week there was an Article in the Sun (Sorry), that £24 worth of petrol is costing the British driver £110. Total rip off. No wonder people don't work.

I have to have a car to get to work, and have to work, to get a Car. Some times you do question whether it's easier to quit your job and live off the state. Seems to be working for alot of people these days. :|

The systems is shafted all over lets face it, who wants to work for less money than they would get on the social when you add up bills like rent or mortgage,car, council tax, gas ,electric, phones, internet,food ect ect. There is no insentive there for people to work these days lets be real.
I know people myself who are better off with there two kids being on the dole and would be £70 a week worse off if he was still working at his old job figure that one out ,thats where the goverment should say ok we will pay your rent for this guy to go out and work make it worth his while for him to atleast have some ££ over in his back pocket plus they save money from what there was giving his family with two kids ,otherwise whats the point for him and many others in situations like this around the country :evil: no wonder are country is fucked money wise.
