So much for all those 'alleged' benefit scroungers

Cameron and IDS have demonised the sick, disabled and unemployed as 'benefit scroungers' whereas the statistics would suggest that what they have told us is yet another down-right lie!!!

Look at it this way it shook everyone up for a bit, got everyone talking, now they can breath a sigh of relief and go back to how it was.

Who can they attack now.......

Said it before, it is possible to pay more tax out of work than in it, dependant on lifestyle.

Re: So much for all those 'alleged' benefit scroungers

Seems like some on a mission will cling to any old nonsense which seems to support their intransigent view point.

Re: So much for all those 'alleged' benefit scroungers

Not sure how they came by the figures but anything that makes them think twice is welcome, sadly it will be too late for those who have suffered and even died under the austerity ideals of the past 2 governments.

Just one bright spot on the horizon a real labour party to oppose them now.

Re: So much for all those 'alleged' benefit scroungers

I'm not sure quite how "real" they are. I would be happier if Corbyn et al (a) concentrated on socialist politics and forgot about all the liberal identity politics nonsense and veganism; and (b) go back to their labour roots and oppose the EU.

Re: So much for all those 'alleged' benefit scroungers

Why would Labour oppose the EU? That is the future for the workers.
