I appreciate that you might feel the need to make a response, but I don't understand how tax payers bailing out NR or paying for the War has anything to do with me or the point I made. Or means tested benefits.
Oh that's quite simple, you seem to quick enough to put the world to rights about how we should be honest about our savings and winnings to the DWP, so i'm merely asking WHY, when this government is happy to plough billions of taxes payers money into useless causes, and the tax payer gets no say in it at all.;)0 -

I think you'll have trouble finding posts where I'm setting the world to rights about how people should be honest about their savings. I do however give advice based on the knowledge I have regarding social security laws. That's a form of moneysaving - getting hit with an overpayment, possible penalty or even a prison sentence is not a method of moneysaving.
Giving this sort of advice doesn't mean I agree with the rules. But they are the rules currently in place. I am also capable of understanding some of the 'logic' behind the rules. That's just an intellectual gift I have.
Why the hell should I justify the war or NR? What has it got to do with me? Has it got any more to do with me than it has to do with YOU?
I'm not Alastair Darling, Ed Balls or anyone else you could hold responsible for these issues. So get off my back.0 -

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
Wee Muff regardless of other posters views, i'm not the sort that will sit back when i'm accused by other members of going off subject, when their own posts are far from being on subject..0
