So now we see the 'nasty party' in its true light (yet again)!!!


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

Bully for them, it makes my blood boil when I read that the benefits level was being cut in London from £26,000 to £23,000 and the rest of the country down to £20,000.
It should be a hell of a lot more !!

Is it truly any wonder when the rest of the world and his wife pass through several European countries with the sole intention of landing here in the UK when they read about such obscene figures being paid out.

One only has to read in today's papers about a certain Cameroon immigrant, granted asylum in France, given an EU identity which enabled him to waltz straight over here and claim everything for himself and his clan of nine, having the gall by complaining about the 5 bedroomed home he was given courtesy of the taxpayer, being too small and then handed a top of the range 5 bedroomed home in Andover (much to the rage of his neighbours who have to work and struggle to pay their own rent and mortgage to live in the same location. It's enough to make one want to spit !!

I live in Shropshire and to obtain such a salary would be a dream life for the majority here. The sooner this scandal is sorted the better as far as I am concerned.
Benefits should be paid out comparable to the minimum wage, no more than that. It certainly shouldn't be so high that it entitles those on benefits to live a life of choice with all the luxuries that those working cannot even afford.

The system stinks !!

Sigh!!! - Again - read the article more carefully!!! - The 'cap' includes Housing Benefit!!! Given the high cost of living here in the South-East, the 'cap' will cause undue hardship for many families, the choice being rent or food on the table (NOT BOTH!!!)

And incidentally, its nothing to do with immigration, the high cost of living here existed long before there was a perceived immigration 'problem'.

wow capping at £20000 a year!
Read the situation vacant adverts see what wages are.

UJ, in a perfect world, for benefit claimants to be given these obscene amounts, ordinary working men and women should be on a salary/wage of between £40,000/£50,000. but of course that will never be.
As it is, benefit claimants should have enough to ensure a roof over their head, food to put on the table, money to allow them to travel to job interviews, and spare cash for essentials. Not a penny more !

I know there are many genuine benefit claimants and I feel for them, but you and I know what type of benefit claimant I am referring to, and in my opinion, anything that makes life harder for them and gets them off their lazy, fat backsides because their luxury lifestyle is being threatened, cannot come quick enough for many like myself.

And in taking a 'broad brush' approach, to those you call lazy, the scumbag 'nasty party' penalise everyone else caught in their net, those least able to defend themselves!!!

So what sort of figure should the cap be UJ? There are a lot of people that have to work very hard and very long hours to earn less than £20,000 and they are the rubbish jobs. Out of that wage, they also have to pay rent/mortgage and for food; and if the cap was much higher, who would pay for it? Do you want the low paid to work even harder and longer hours? I thought you were for the working man/woman.
