Still sounding very bitter n twisted since "Your" team lost Liz.....

Time will heal but in the mean time why not just give the coalition a chance.After all Your team had 13 yrs to f*ck up at least give them a year or so.............

Typical of the intelligence level of the right wing to claim that anyone actually 'lost' in the hung parliament.

Your precious cobblition is a dog's breakfast of egos, each just waiting to lay blame at the other's door. Vanity will be its undoing, as sure as night follows day.

I'm guessing youve received your redundancy letter from Central Office, am I right? bet I am.....lol

Not my "Cobblition" sweetcheeks I have no political ties.If I see a decent policy from any party It will get my backing.You see where you fail and so do All party activists/supporters is in thinking that Party Politics actually works.....

You will back "Your" party whether you believe a policy is good or bad which is perverse TBH...Why would you back a policy which you believe will do more harm than good?......Or are you saying that All of Nu Labours policies were right?

Here's another benefit worth scrapping - let's do away with the benefit of second/holiday home ownership in areas where young people are being priced out. Many rural/seaside areas are becoming all but ghost towns and holiday lets, with no hope of affordable housing for those actually born there. This benefit should either be withdrawn completely or a levy applied in terms of double or triple council tax to subsidise the building of affordable, local, rented accommodation.

I want to stay in my home town near my family with my kids in the very good school they go to... But wait... we can't afford to!!

:(:(:(

Here's another benefit worth scrapping - let's do away with the benefit currently paid to the wealthy in the form of allowing bought privilege within what the state provides. You should not be able to queue jump or buy advantage under any circumstances merely because you have more money than someone else. Whether this is faster, new passport return (unless you can PROVE need to travel within time X) or moving to a leafier area to obtain school of choice, we need to take action to rule it out.

Proved my point exactly, Nu Labour did sod all to build Social Housing, making it a rule that developers should build 3 Social Houses for every 10 houses constructed was a complete joke.It should have been at least 50%.

Why did Nu Labour not do that?, they had 13 yrs to address the problem .

I'm not saying this mob will do any better but whats the alternative?.


13yrs was long enough to have made a decent effort at addressing the problem of Social Housing and the truth is the fudged it.........

Even labour state they lost.

So what does that say about their intelligence level?

Here's another benefit worth scrapping - let's do away with the benefit currently given to farmers and landowners in the form of a tax free encouragement to act irresponsibly. New farm buildings should henceforth require planning permission so as to blend in with the landscape and any subsequently discovered deviation from the permission should be fined heavily. Also there should be a mandatory £100,000 fine placed upon the owner(s) of any land where birds of prey can be shown to have been poisoned. There are plenty of other farming and landowning practises which can be currently viewed as indulgent 'benefits' but which should be withdrawn.

TBF I think there is not far off the right amount of SH, & an OK amount being built to keep up. Surely the problem is the amount of 'normal' working people unable to buy....
