Dunroamin - you can't pay rent, bills or buy food on £20 a week. If someone loses all benefits, that includes housing benefit and council tax.

I was talking about someone losing JSA.

TIf I lost my job, yes, I would really need it.

And more and more people may need it sooner than they thinks as the government work at eroding workers' rights at the same time as reducing benefits.

Rates are the same throughout the UK; I used the official figures. (You're using figures for 4 weeks, not for a month.)

Perhaps that was for February 2011, as 2012 had 29 days..:p

...it's very convenient that people believe the drivel that if Vodafone paid their tax, they'd have to lay off all the minimum wage staff that sell their China made products.

Vodafone - The majority of employees on minimum wage and probably claiming working tax credits, child tax credits, child benefit and housing benefit to make up for a low salary.

Vodafone's annual profit - £9 billion pounds.

Solution - cut its employees benefits, the country is broke blah blah blah. Suckers.

I think I may come under criticism for my post here but to be honest I do not care it is known as democracy

To be quite honest I do not like any of the parties, The fact that banks and corporational worldwide businesses own the land we walk in every year we vote the clowns into the circus tent of government yet lets analyse these facts

1)we are after two whole years still in a recession now, you stop a recession by gaining support to people to purchase more by spending out of the economy and gain. Trust that the uk economy is booming, hence more business will trust and create jobs, a popular method economic studies suggest same as labour did but somehow got it financially wrong from the burden of borrowing ontop of old government debts and other risky initiatives take for example PFI on hospitals

The government austerity has back-fired yet take into account the other methods such as quantitative easing (printing money to put to banks and services but mostly banks) the main reason this aint worked is the banks are sat on 80billion of the taxpayers money the government invested yet they declared a u turn on start up capital for small businesses in parliament.so the money is still with the banks sitting comfy collected intrest instead of getting the jobs first they want huge unemployment because withinn two years they only created 1million jobs which are part time,temp or seasonal like the Olympic games however we have now incluing immigration uk population in its 60billion status so 1mil of jobs to sixty billion shows the maths it would take 200 years to get that lot in work and taxable if we created 1million jobs per two years

I never listen to politician anymore even if they acheive the abolition of the nhs and welfare the intrest we pay back to benefit at presence is small compared to the 1.2billion intrest rate the government borrow for services


Let alone david camoron taking trips abroad when he needed here saying its trade relationship tours yet getting the tax payer to pay for his plonk at a whopping 120k a bottle. then blaming labour all the time, u turning decisions which we voted him for (perhaps) to calling the people benefit theives when like have said on here the benefit system is a safety net for our people who cannot work due to cancer, lost parts of the body or some illness or disability, the fact this government beleives if you lost all of your fingers bar one you be ok you can get a job pushing a button all day at a factory, when button pressing jobs are in very much decline in job descriptions for people with one finger

I read that as a response to the poster who was trying to make out that she was wasn't biased in her comments as she didn't claim DLA. However, she negated to say that she was trying to claim DLA. So I assume the ROTFL was because the poster had been caught out.

EDIT: Query already addressed.
