Less than 1% of the tax you pay goes on tax credits, go get angry about MPs awarding themselves an 11% pay rise.

For the responsibility they have as an MP they are well underpaid.

BTL and second homes hit with 3% rise in stamp duty.

Except they didn't, did they? Another example of how they can't win with some people. They created an independent pay review board, who then recommended the pay increase.

Who created that, oh yeah the tories, how convenient.

Some of you guys just can't face to think you were wrong and they are turning this country's fortunes around.....

Learn to give credit where credit is due.

So MP's running the country get £74,000pa and GP's handing out antibiotics like smarties get £101,000. http://www.payscale.com/research/UK/Job=Physician_%2F_Doctor,_General_Practice/Salary

Would you rather MP's get paid the UK average salary of £26,500? Who would put up with all the **** MP's have to put up with from their constituents plus living away from home most of the year to attend parliament?

It was blocked in the Lords, he had no option but to change tact. Tory apologists are so unbelievable.

no he didn't, he could have continued to pursue it - he chose to change tact...

Oh its a lie the current chancellor said the deficit would be slashed/cut in 2015 is it ? Yet we currently have massive borrowing than ever before FACT.

Sorry he is incompetent and every single conservative government since the 1940s has been incompetent along with him. Apart from keeping the rich even richer.

Sorry but you've just made yourself sound like a prize fool mate!

well with people like you wanting to moan regardless of what they do it is probably quite useful to create an independent body.....

then again you still manage to moan about it and blame the politicians/the tories etc...

No cuts in police budgets!

Alternatively you have 2 parents, both working full time, and you get a few quid extra a month to help with childcare costs which would otherwise equate to a quarter of your household income.

I'm sick of people judging everyone who receives tax credits are the "dirty scroungers" the media portrays. There are a lot of people who go out there and work damned hard for their money but happen to earn less than the national average. You want to try doing that and still be expected to pay £650 a month to send you kid to nursery.

What's the alternative? Give up work, stay at home with kiddo and claim more benefits instead? Or should I just "work harder" and do 60 hours instead of 40?

/rant

My missus wants us to have another kid but I said no as we can't afford to have a 3rd.

Who do I write to in order to report this infringement on my human rights?

I'm here all week, but seriously 72k for what they do - sorry I wouldn't get out of bed to do that job with the grief and hours that go with that

Now no police cuts - que the moaning

We have ONE child. Nursery costs have risen 15% in the last 2 years - a damned site more than wages have gone up.

Do you suggest we become a nation where only people paying higher rate tax can be parents?

We still pay out a hell of a lot more in tax and NI than we get back and thus are net contributors to the economy yet so many people on here would brand me a "scrounger" for it and I'm sick of hearing it.

Peruse it? unless he changed tact it was going nowhere. The pasty tax mastermind and towel folder makes another huge error of judgement, luckily we have labor to keep the numpty in line.

jimjamuk · 25 Nov 2015 at 13:42

Who's this fool now talking about the deficit, is he making this up as he goes along?

Uther · 25 Nov 2015 at 13:42

So where's the cuts? :confused:

Thanks for the insult. I didn't realise that a couple working 90 hours a week between them and receive a few quid to help with spiraling childcare costs fell in to the 'scrounger' category.

You're taking my comment to the extreme. I'm fairly confident you knew I was alluding to the majority that abuse the system, the ones who work cash in hand, the ones that don't bother seeking work, the ones that spawn half a dozen kids with no way of paying for them, the ones who kick off at the slightest sign of their 'inherent' right to free money being removed.

If you're statement is true I have no issue with it and I've no doubt expect the same should me and my missus decide to have kids irrelevant of how much we earn, unfair to have one rule for one and all that.

Over Clocker · 25 Nov 2015 at 13:43

Waiting for some people here to create some kind of moaning about police budgets not being cut...
