i said a SINGLE person.

As for your comment that nobody is benefits is rolling in it, well I beg to differ. How the heck can you NOT be rolling in it when you are getting TWENTY SIX THOUSAND POUNDS a year FREE money?

The amount a benefit claimant take is around 3k per application?
how do you work out 26k per benefit application...Any evidence of this apart form daily mail or newspapers>

Because it is profit at the expense of the taxpayer.

So cutting "in work" benefits is a way of addressing this problem. Employers will have to increase wages.

What do you think the CAP at £500 PW tax free is and why it's causing problems as people think £500 isn't enough. It's £350 for a single/couple.

Do a turn to us with 4 children, maybe even add a disability and you'll be highly suprised.

Despite what many say, you do need to be a bit of an achiever to get to be an MP.

Really I thought you get voted as a constituency member for the area you campaigned by a election or Bi election.

O well sure i read that somewhere? or i sure when i have voted i was told that Most MP's can explain their talents you talk about, What about the house of Lords also....How did they become inherited hereditary Mps all 444 of them....:T

Are you trying hard to be obtuse?
most basic example I can think of

1 or 2 parents+ 2 kids=around £200 CASH per week
Housing Benefit between £80 to £250 week=FREE HOUSE
Council Tax anywhere from £100 to £300 per month=PAID FOR
free school dinners= about £10 per child per week
free prescriptions
free dental treatment

and if little Jonnie has got "behavioural problems", then add on the carer's money, the DLA et al

One MP tried to point out to him that disabled people would be hit harder by this cut in benefits but Irritable D-S dismissed him in his usual nasty manner. It will be in Hansard tomorrow, check it out.

I was watching this on the parliamentary channel but I must have nodded off to sleep when "Irritable D-S dismissed him in his usual nasty manner" .

I saw him reiterate the benefits that wouldn't be affected and I saw several MPs trying to shout him down. It will be in Hansard tomorrow, check it out.

And the vast majority of people could not do what it takes to get to that position. After all it is open to anyone.

Most people would rather die than go knocking on strangers doors asking for support and being given grief for their trouble.

By god the penny has dropped, hence no need for the taxpayer having to fund Tesco profits
Do you think it's fair the government paying money to people who work for a company which makes vast profits a company which can afford to pay them properly?, And no No Cuts, until companies are made to pay up the Goverment must fill the that gap

the cap according to DWP can be between 20 quid and 250 quid
there pensioners that live on 55 quid a week every day in this country who are getting scuffered by the money they worked for form state pensions paying into the system for 40 -50 odd years, They trying to make it means tested from ATOS testing to ignoring the GP calls for disbilitys.

I raised 2 kids while starting my own business in a one bedroom flat pre 1987 hun 2013 own home paid for one kid 18 degree and looking to find work, other works with my wife on her market stall bot of us self employed because not by choice but by no work available back in the 80's when Maggie was in power, was taught if you cant get work make work which i did by very hardline father

My whole point to my comments is that politicians are untrustworthy they feed the public lots of rubbish but never help anyone get on track sadly. Waste tons of tax payer money yet blame the smallest in group for it and I'm sorry if i have offended you in my posts but im just like you working hard fed up of people accusing disabled people of destroying the country by a lie made up by a ponce of millionaires in charge who don't have a clue like Lab our in running the economy

cheers

I used to be scared stiff when knocking on people's doors as an Avon Lady in the 60s!
