What used to be a UK
...despite the impending twelve billion pounds of cuts he is prepared to place on them?

If you want to minimise reductions in spending departments it's important to reform welfare. Second point is, £12 billion is half of what we saved in the last parliament, again showing this is affordable and achievable. So you protect the poorest and most vulnerable, you make sure that work pays and you also protect pensioners because it's more difficult for them to change their circumstances."

Well it's a hell of a lot easier for a pensioner to change their circumstances than somebody afflicted with an incapacitating illness for the rest of their live's .:confused:
 
He is also running for re-election at the imminent general election, all he cares about is maintaining his position (and possibly strengthening it), he will say (almost) anything to get votes :).

Is he stupid enough to expect people to believe him though?

Edit: Never mind, this is politics and there are people stupid enough to believe him.

Cameron will **** on the poor and vulnerable all day long it's what Tories do, the vast majority will not be tory supporters, I doubt there are many bedroom tax victims who ever voted for him.

One million people using food banks is that in there manifesto ?

Victims? If you can't pay for your own extra bedroom the state should pay for you? I don't think so.

Sure, there should be exceptions in certain cases, but for the most part, housing benefit should only cover the rooms you need, not the rooms you want.

This is exactly the problem with the anti-Tory brigade, (and many SNP supporters), you don't really think things through logically enough.

Yeah, I feel like that too but currently, he (Cameron) is the only party leader to I feel can deliver. While his term hasn't been perfect, I think he's done well and will get my vote! All the other leaders, especially UKIP, labour are just empty promises and full of poop! Actually, maybe not empty promises, but the policies and plans I don't agree with.

I like this thread it speaks the truth.

Debating policies is pointless.

Sad state of affairs.

welfare and most vulnerable are two different things.........

The vulnerable deserve my tax pounds, the benefit cheats do not

I will look for the figures later but the amount of benefit not claimed by those that need it and mistakes made by the DWP far and away outstrips the amount that benefit cheats claim.

And of course cheats should be targeted but I wish as much energy was put into the tax cheats which again far outstrips was cheats claim.

Then what about companies paying low wages knowing the state will make up the shortfall? this has risen by 70% since the coalition came to power.
 
Pensioners.. yes I know quite a few including my folks. We have a moral duty to care for them but as I know I'll get far less and not be allowed to retire until much later due to changes in my pension it does make me a bit mad.

Basically those of us in our 20s-50s are the sandwich generation, when we get old we're screwed.
 
More cuts are needed, why should I pay extra for the lazy, fatties and breeders.

If you dont like it emigrate or vote the looney communist Labour left :)
