    So it's now being turned around into a tory vote winning scheme ;)

    Let's get this straight...coalition cuts something, and the coalition is obviously out to get those the cuts hit, especially the vulnerable.

    Coalition proposes to give more to a group which holds masses of vulnerable people, and it's turned around into a tory scheme to get more votes and appeal to their followers.


    Take money from the vulnerable....wrong.
    Give money the to vulnerable....wrong.

    Sheesh, hard life in government aint it :D

    But it is not giving any money to the vulnerable, if anything it is taking it away by stealing the contracted in second pension, refer Dunstonh :eek:

    It won't be means tested - everyone, resident here, regardless of any employment history will (allegedly) get what is worth £140 per week now.

    But, I shouldn't worry - the country will be in such social and financial chaos soon, that any of these plans are likely to be abandoned anyway.:mad:

    Lin :(

    I suspect you're right.
