the bigger measures there will be. if we all go on the street and continually say we are not happy they will have to look into the sytem an make changes and that would in-turn stop them getting all there exspences paid - there 11 weeks holiday etc etc second houses and how about a massive cut in there pay ? i dont no about you lot but i am sickened by the MPS wages as i dont feel they are serving any of us as the laws they pass go aginst the working hard - this needs to be nipped in the bud but it won't as people can not understand politics and show no interest and that is why it gets harder and harder for the ones at the bottom while the educated on good wages keep voting the conseratives who inturn look after them by intoducing tax breaks and making them pay the lowest in tax with all there accountants they no all the tricks - ITS PURE CORRUPTION. and daivid C is aware of all what goes on. shame on him.

the poorest pay most of the debt?

Really.!! Good god.. you really need to get in touch with reality.

The poorest don't tend to have their own mortgages to ensure they keep a roof over their heads (and the don't have the comfort of being able to rely on the Government to pay for their social housing during lean times). Those with mortgages receive very little help (if at all)..... and are expected to pay additional premiums to 'protect themselves' in times of hardship such as being unexpected long term illnesses, losing jobs etc. Even if they are struggling on basic salaries.

the Poorest receive free dental treatment which isn't available to those working ...even those who are really struggling to get by on the basic min wages, but still they are not allowed free dental treatment.

So quit with the sob story here... please!


I make no bones about this..... the very low (unbelievably low) payments that are made to those in genuine times of hardship are a joke - an absolute joke ...... but thanks to those types who bleed the system dry (yer every con man who knows every trick in the book, the asylum seekers that know more about benefits that our own countryfolk, and MP's etc who are claim for every goddam thing - including those rescinding on what they agreed etc).......

Please... give it a rest about the poor.

If you want to see poor.... go take a trip to Kenya, Ethiopia, better than that, have a look at where ever you live and it's your local city centre.

Ever done any voluntary work for the homeless? I have, I do and have done for years. That opens up your eyes a whole lot..... Does it make me feel good? Not one bit, it makes me sick when I realise the crap that I find time to moan about in my own life. I see these poor forgotten souls - who are POOR - and many through real ****ty circumstances.... People who literally have not a penny to their name, no homes, no food, no every night shelter, no warmth, no hot water, no comfort... sweet FA ...... get your act together when you refer to 'the poor'.

Some people really need to look outside their own little priviledged boxes and start to try to even begin to comprehend what the word 'poor' means.

Living off the state, in a warm house, with water, electricity, gas, food, comfort, tv, internet, mobile phones is not POOR. It's called going through hard times... something that hits many of us and we get through it thanks to the government doing all they can to ensure we dont' end up on the streets. Get yourself a mortage: then that's when it all goes tits up if it all comes crashing down.

Time people woke up.
