You had a decent question from me: What amount should the 'cap' be on benefits? but you just said it was wrong. You haven't said what you think is right. Or are you saying there should be NO cap on benefits and that certain people should be allowed to earn more for doing nothing than those that work?

Re: The despicable scumbags!!!

Now that is an interesting question I'm not sure what UJ would say but my take on it would be we need a cap that makes working worth doing, but doesn't make disabled people second class citizens. The problem with caps is they tend to hurt disabled people when they should only affect people able to work. IMO

Re: The despicable scumbags!!!

What bugs me the most about the caps is that it is used as a form of working class/immigrant cleansing.

Families that have lived in - say - Stepney for many generations are being forced out into cheaper boroughs i.e Barking and Dagenham. The inner circles of the city of London will become ever more gentrified and the outer rings ever more like urban sprawl.

It's property owning heaven.

Now perhaps others will also see what I have known these many years - just how despicable and nasty they can and have been!!!

Might I suggest you go back and re-read the whole of this thread, then AND ONLY THEN come back with constructive questions and I may condescend to answer.

Ok, I have re-read the thread and can't see anywhere where you have answered my question. Perhaps you could give me a clue?

Re: The despicable scumbags!!!

I am sure UJ will be along shortly to reply, but my reading from his post is that he is opposed to capping benefits. I concluded from his post that benefits should be based upon need rather than an arbitrary upper limit.

If he doesn't believe in capping then I think that probably explains why he hasn't given you a figure.

Now of course he might have meant something quite different but I didn't want to leave you in suspense.
