    please don't try and make this into a party political broadcast to try and distract the fact that this hasn't been handled very well by the Coalition government.

    Very good point Chucky, certainly expect more of that.

    I have never lied.

    You were too stupid to understand my post.

    I'd leave it there if I were you, before you make yourself look even more of a fool.


    To Graham Devon:

    Graham, how can you defend this poster when you read this sort of abusive post and the one where she called a poster a liar ?

    Yes, my OH earns over 44K, clearly.

    Our family income is not huge, however.

    How difficult is that to understand?

    I've retired now but I earned just over average wage for most of my life. I've had holidays abroad most years, a reasonable second hand car and indulged in my hobbies I feel I've had a reasonable life. By the way I live in the Southeast worked in outer London all the time.

    You just called me a liar - I produced proof of precisely where they lied!

    Show proof of where I have lied.

    Otherwise accept that you are both rude and foolish, and trying to cover up your tracks just makes you look even ruder and more idiotic than before.

    .

    Almost as much fun as loaded poll questions.

    But back to the £2300 a year you're about to be worse off by.....:D

    have you considered starting a thread with a poll asking only FTB's to participate?

    Bully for you.

    I suspect that your housing costs were relatively much lower than mine.

    Plus - YOUR CHILDREN QUALIFIED FOR CHILD BENEFIT!!!

    Which is precisely my point.

    As you think removal of child benefit for middle earners is such a good idea, I assume you'll be repaying all the child benefit your children received to help the country out now in its time of need?



    Oh.

    Thought not. :(
