Secret Steal Of Our NI Contributions

DecentLivingWage

So ILW, do you or 'most people' not give a stuff about any of the public sector workers looking for help on here,MSE Forum,then? The people who care for your sick, teach your children and grandchildren, keep you safe in your homes and cars, put out your fires and process your finances and local services? All for low wages too.

And please could you quote that poll or research for us?

Does the reference to 'us' imply that DecentLivingWage actually has a job. I'm shocked.:)

Umm not sure if its suprising that his posts mirror a unionised millitant and you only find them in the public sector.

Lets hope he is one of the workers and avoids having (not really but its a day off), sick days as the union insists on it.

So a bit like when Gordon Brown removed the dividend tax credit, or when he kept increasing NI contributions whilst claiming he wasn't increasing income tax.

I think I've seen everything when the lefties are shouting "taxation is theft". Hilarious.

And what about when the basic state pension was legally supposed to be increased by the higher of RPI or 2.5%, and it was.

EXCEPT the additional bits and pieces including the "Extra State Pension" which is pension you've deferred (ie given up in the hope of living long enough to at least break even), and which was promised to increase along with the Basic State Pension. Brown and Darling did not increase it at all.

The Tories are increasing these bits but only by 2% not by the triple lock. It's still better than Labour's zero.

For me Labour is the "nasty party" - they did not fulfil their responsibility to poorer, desperate pensioners like myself, AND there was the shameful 10% tax rate removal which I was depending on. When Brown was warned that it would hurt the poorest, he shrugged.

He shrugged, DLW - he actually shrugged his shoulders.

And you want me to like these people.

Thank goodness the Coalition have increased the personal allowances.
