Bloody typical !!!
The scumbag 'nasty party' have made a 'political decision to load their austerity cuts onto those least able to afford them.(extract from the linked report) :
The decision to load austerity cuts excessively on to vulnerable groups contravenes the non-discrimination principles to which the UK is signed up under international human rights law, the report said. There was little evidence ministers had taken equality factors into account when taking tax and spending decisions.
The report Alston published earlier this month said the UK government had made a political choice to let what he called “punitive, mean-spirited, and often callous” austerity policies fall disproportionately on the poorest.

Re: Bloody typical !!!
Am I surprised ? not really. Tories have an ideology that will always try to heap worst cuts on the vulnerable, always take from the poorest. I hate you call them names but I do understand why when you look at what they do to the most needy in our country.

Maybe Corbyn will be different, but given his craven and unprincipled about turn on the EU (once he sniffed the possibility of power) I don't hold out a great deal of hope.

Re: Bloody typical !!!
I think it is disgraceful what has been happening over the years with austerity cuts for the vulnerable and those most in need. Something surely has to give, it cannot carry on this way making those who can least afford it do all the suffering whilst the have it all's take it in their stride.Oh for a new political party reminiscent of the Labour party of the 40's and 50's when they really cared.
