Re: The state benefits system mega-thread. Many merged.
It's all well and good blaming labour but the coalition has had three years and a considerable offer of help on the welfare issue and has driven most of those with a lot more knowledge on the subject then IDS away with the agenda they are persuing which is cost cutting by any means. They have changed the rule's so that being able to walk 20 metres dismisse's you on a number of mobility points doesn't matter if your in pain at the end of the 20 metres doesn't matter can you repeat it within a certain time or is 30 or 40 more then you can handle do members on here really feel that's fair.
It's the tip of the iceberg on how genuine claimants have been hit by this coalition since they took power and continue to be hit. I have never denied the system needs reform it needs to be a system tightened up so that only those genuinely needing help get it and so that the taxpayer can feel the system is targetting the right people and is not a free ride but this process of reform is not going to deliver that. Keep blaming the past if you want it's what we have become good at in this country looking back and not dealing with those issues that will affect us in the future you can see it right across the spectrum from welfare to energy to education.
We deserve better from those we elect at the very least we deserve honesty from them on the issue's they claim to be dealing with not ridiculous blame for the country's problems not misrepresenting of statistics to justify an agenda. Why don't we demand more from them why do we let them off the hook everytime by turning on ourselves. We so often look down on politicians for the rubbish they get up too but i'm starting to realise it isn't them that's the problem it's us we allow them to turn us against each other and never actually nail them for what they do were the idiots.
