    My objection was not the part that got all the headlines but when he said that the only people affected are those that believe that the state owes them a living. People on modest wages will be affected by increases in tax etc, many of whom don't see a big enough offset from a small mortgage or rent. Plenty of these people aren't claiming and it rankles me that he doesn't realise that.

    As ever Viva, eloquently put.

    I wasted 6 or 7 posts & numerous paras trying to say something like this. You managed in 3 sentences. Shame on me!:o
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Oh, & I await the backlash from the housewives who, on reading your post could be a teensy weensy bit incensed that they should apparently be spending all their time preparing meals for their families....:eek:


    I still cook the old way. I would if I had kids too, I did when I had to cook for kids I lived with before. I love it. I have a great life actually. I love that I am making pocket money of my own...wish it were more, but I also love I have tie to do old fashioned proper house work, cooking and entertaining and still have time...with things like hoovers not carpet beaters, to chat here and read books and remain in touch with the cultural world.

    What happened to "The mess Labour left us in" mantra?


    They did leave us in a mess, but Labour are nothing to do with any recession that is going on and EVERYTHING to do with creating a society of welfare-dependancy.

    When people can choose to not work and still have a lifestyle that their working grandparents and parents could never even beging to imagine, then you know we have never had it so good.

    As with all things handed out freely and indiscriminately by sl*ts, unfortunately the thanks from thank-sl*ts have little value. ;)

    What is worth having is always hard to get (so said my dear old mum about something entirely different, but related).

    *Ahem*

    Great value to me:D...I often use them to mark where I've read up to at a suitable post, or absence to mark what I didn't read and want to go back to.
