True Colours

[tonyav]

Could the tories be showing their true colours although a spokesman for the dept of work and pensions says that '' it's wrong and misleading to suggest that any of this is part of our plan''.

The DWP have experienced 100,000 job loses with another 30,000 expected to go this year.

Is it not the height of stupidity to task this Department to find £12billion worth of savings, and then expect the findings not to be leaked?

Tony...the Tories have never succeeded in hiding their true colours. Over 40 years a go, my old Dad told me that under the Tories, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer....how right he was.

\\\ the Tories, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer....how right he was.\\\\

Well almost mikey....except in the decade of Labour administration from 1997, when the rich got richer and the poor got poorer.

[mikey4444]

Didn't Labour introduce the National Minimum Wage Sqad ?

[Sqad]

mikey...........don't muddy the water.
If you are rich.....vote Tory.
If you are poor....vote Labour.

Nothing complicated there.......I am sick of the "poor" whinging."

[tonyav]

Ah but sqad who should be voted for if you want to be rich ?.

[Sqad]

tony....if you really want to be rich. then it doesn't matter who you vote for...........you will get "rich."

pay disability benefit then claw it back again, that makes sense. At least they'll have to hire more bureaucrats to do the extra work.

[tonyav]

Thanks sqad, you've put my mind at rest now.

[lcg]

yes....they are lying toads who think the poor and disabled are actually making a choice to be that way.......instead of coming to the more obvious conclusion that there have always been poor and disabled people. tory policy is always centred around the concept of 'i'm alright, thanks, and f*** everyone else'. it is that simple.

[Retrochic]

lcg problem is there are a small minority that are choosing to be 'disabled'. IF I was so inclined I could go on line , swat up on all the symptoms for clinical depression and get signed off onto disability allowance. Once on my allowance and a nice new mobility car, I could then carry on with my on line ebay shop to supplement my paltry benefits. I know of at least three people doing this. All Governments lie, and if you think labour think any differently about the 'poor' then you are mildly delusional. Personally I'm sick of the left wingers who seem to think its a sin to work 60 hours a week to provide a decent income,as in doing this you are 'rich' and therefore somehow disengaged with the 'real people' and only out for what you can get.

[Gromit]

Retrochic,
How does hitting a small minority save the Government £12billion?

They will have to hit the large majority who are genuinely ill to acieve a £12billion saving.

Tony, //Ah but sqad who should be voted for if you want to be rich ?.//

Everyone wants to be rich - don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise.

[tonyav]

I don't, naomi.

[naomi24]

Good.

[ToraToraTora]

gawd I hope so, we spend far too much on WSS. If they'd come out and say we are going to give less free money out they'd win hands down. Why is that so tricky?

[naomi24]

What's WSS?

[DaisyNonna]

Er, what constitutes rich?

[naomi24]

Pass.
