- LINK Seems we now have a Welfare State growing at a rate slower than anytime since 1948 after the great binge when Labour took it from £127b in 1997 to £207b, not quite a doubling. |

No that will NEVER happen because far too many of their party donors are beneficiaries of that particular "upwards redistribution of wealth from the mortgage paying middle income earners to the wealthy multi-property owning landlords whose income has been protected for decades through housing benefit while those beneath them struggle |

The cut I want to see is the one in the relelentless torrent of incomers welcomed to this country putting ever increasing pressure on our housing stock and prices. I want to see the tory supporting shitebag who evicted all his "social" tenants to make way for cash paying immigrants suddenly find his nice littgle earnwer dries up, putting him into bankruptcy and his housing stock auctoned off to the highest bidder in a price crashing market. As I have oft said, when I got married nobody in our street paid any rax the thresholds were too hiogh but nobosy got housing benefit either because it did not exist, what did exist were rigid rent controls stopping landlord profiteering Somewhere along the way someone buggered that system up. |

There were no party politics in what I posted, and I'm disappointed you feel there should be. The Labour council performed badly, and have held their hands up, took the blame, and apologised. Give them credit for that rarity at least. |

They are not very good in office, are they ? Bogged down by Political correctness and in fighting and holding on to power. |

But I was correct .......... the form guide told me it would be so. As for your part, it too can be discerned that how you react will be dependent on the colour of the rosette. Any time PS has mentioned lives being lost it is never accepted that the Government were in any part to blame .... unless that government is Labour. We see it everywhere ......... Mrs T gloried in the Big Bang, but isn't blamed for what it created. Her sell off of council housing was wonderful, but the consequences are awful, but not her doing. Osborne brings in austerity which can never eradicate the deficit he tells it is imposed to do - and that failure is Labour's doing - never mind that that the grandkids he promised to save are instead increasingly put upon. The Roman Circus of perceived reality that indoctrinates auto-responses in weak minds. Edited by Affa, Feb 5 2015, 01:06 PM.

I suggest you need to read others' posts better before you start giving them labels and making absolute statements like "it is never accepted" as you are and will often be wrong Right or imho wrongly the coalition has delegated money and responsibility for welfare to councils and in the case you mentioned a Labour council got it horribly wrong |

Rotherham was much the same, turning a blind eye to those that put their trust in them.[/quote]Apparently, Leeds and Keighley are under the microscope also.[/quote]I can't believe size and scope of these paedophile rings operating across the North. Lets hope the police in South Yorkshire are making progress and more arrests will be made in Rotherham. Now we have 25 charged in Calderdale. http://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news...kBoexo.twitter How much reporting has there been of these Asian paedophile rings apart from newspapers like Times? It makes me wonder why there was this sudden obsession with the historic abuse stuff when it was known about for years. Is it deflection time again? Seriously though. a missing dossier from 30 years ago engenders endless news coverage but nothing about the arrest of all these folks and the fact that they were going through court system. And before someone jumps on me, I am not saying that every Muslim man is a child abuser. That would be preposterous. What is being said is that a specific section of that community has a predilection towards it. What is also being said is that the refusal of the public agencies to accept this, and their wish not to rock the multiculturalist boat led to them looking away whilst the abuse CONTINUED. |

Of course I can be and will sometimes be wrong ....... it's the fault of perceived reality that it must be prone to err. I posted what I perceive to be true ...... ergo, I do not lie! An aside ........ the motivation for my listing the Thatcher/Osborne culpability statements was to lure you into proving me correct. You escaped ........ others here would not have. |
