Wouldn't it be a shame if the Conservative mindset of blanket benefit withdrawal on the most needy, cost them the election. It's surely their most unpopular policy choice, it's certainly pee'd off a large proportion of the populace (no I'm not talking about benefit scroungers living in 5 bed houses etc etc)
IDS really does need taking out back and uhh 'talking' too, he's completely disconnected with reality.
Imagine that, Labour sneak in (with some SNP help) all because of IDS effectively, wow that's a mind ****

Our 23 year old disabled twins are DESPERATE to find work of any kind. They have completed college, plus course after course designed to "enter the workforce", but still nothing.
CV's have NEVER been answered. Jobcentre visits have become pointless, but they still go there and allow themselves to be forced to go through the motions over and over, by a staff that is as bored with it all as they are.
Even voluntary work has dried up completely.
Apprenticeships? Don't make me laugh...... |
Yes after all, any savings made are a drop in the Ocean compared to the Foreign Corruption Package we give out each year...
(Ok I know I don't always make the most coherent arguments, but it's so hard to take a Government seriously when they bang on about 'having to make cuts' then they give away so much money in Foreign aid or they suddenly decide people are now 'fit' despite clearly not being - simply to meet a target)
