I believe "Fuck you, you fucking fuckers" covers my opinions on this. The Tories already trying to rip up the social safety net.

And for those undergoing cancer treatment.

Some of the support I got through the Disabled Students Allowance, particularly the PDA it got me, were a real help in getting myself organised, actually managing to make all the things I was supposed to, etc. I think I'd've had a much harder time without them.

'Last year the Glasgow Media Trust found the public believed between 50 and 70 per cent of those on disability benefits were fraudulent. The actual number is likely to be between 1 and 2 per cent.'

and expanded musings on the nature of cashflow, and what stuff counts as a 'I have a bit of extra cash, get something nice' purchase

Politicians woo the grey vote, because it makes a difference. They shit on the young people, because they don't vote.

'The chancellor is upping his game in response to the Prime Minister’s declaration of permanent austerity amid the gilded splendour of the lord mayor’s banquet.'

There isn't the spare housing for people to move around like the bedroom tax wants them to. And it's not a bad thing for people to have spare rooms. But the government keeps on pushing this, because it's a way to punish people on benefits.

'Cruel, arbitrary and ridiculous reasons why people have their benefits stopped'

'One million people could be pushed to earn more – or have their benefits cut'

Leaked letter states the measure "does not take account of the additional costs to local authorities (through homelessness and temporary accommodation). In fact we think it is likely that the policy as it stands will generate a net cost..."

'Suggestions that 878,300 benefit claimants dropped their claims rather than take a medical test have been challenged by the statistics watchdog.'

The amount of two-generation worklessness is tiny, there's not backup for three generation.

Quite why Labour is helping the government cover their arse with retroactive legislation to make the illegal become legal, I'm not sure.

Retroactive legislation to cover the government's arse? No thanks.

'Benefit changes mean poor people face average £247-a-year council tax bill from April – but many are not expected to pay'

'AN unemployed man is scamming the taxpayer out of £67.50 a week, it has emerged.'

As well as being bastards in other ways, Westminster council appear to be dumping people into other Boroughs if they're homeless in order to keep their rates low.
