My Good Old Mums Response To The Budget
Just spoken to mum, bearing in mind she was born in the 20s, in 4 months time she will be 104 years young. What did she say? Its about time the purse strings were tightened. Keep on giving and you keep wanting alive. By giving no one learns to stand on their own to feet and sooner or later become useless. :0))

I take it, then that you and she would also believe we should discourage/stop the use of food banks, child benefit, universal credit for those out of work or in low paid/part time jobs.
I agree with untitled- you are not a lefty at all.
in all honesty, people's responses change whatever "side" is doing the thing.
if this had been a conservative budget, the most vociferous in decrying it would have been the staunchest defenders, but the same visa versa.
Take the WFA as an example. If the cons had done that, labour supporters wouls have been screaming about it, and the more right leaning people would have said, well, we only need to give it to those in need, and we need to recover from covid. you know, those people who now seem to be telling me that millions of pensioners will freeze to death.
Take rioting. I read a v interesting thread from 2011, where "certain" ABers were happy about the big sentence sgiven to rioters then. Now the very same people (because they agree with the rioters cause perhaps?) are saying it's dreadful sentences are so big. As i say, peoples views change.
incidentally i cant seem to make the link work, but not only does TTT crow about the long sentences given to people who incited rioting on FB, but several people of the other end of the spectrum (the ones who are happy with the recent sentences) are saying they dont agree with the long sentences. We are all biased! https:/
