Goverment In Or Out ?

They are talking about sweeping reforms cutting housing benefit/ Telling people they must work well thats great are they going to supply the jobs? They are also planning on making claimants work for their benefits , doing the same job as someone who will get a full time wage.Does the word slavery spring to mind here!! This country is no longer a democracy its a bureacaucy, filled with grasping power hungry little men with to much money and time on their hands. What do you think?

    It's always the same old story,Labour over spend and leave the country in a mess,the Conservatives get in and instantly attack the poorer and unemployed by making cuts and hiking up taxes,people loose their jobs and homes,businesses go under and people become desperate, so it gets to the point where the country has had enough, they loose power and Labour get back in.

    This government are already nailing their own coffin,there are very few jobs and more than ever are to loose jobs as well as disabled people coming into the job market,wages are rubbish and most jobs are part time anyway yet the cons insist that their ideas are good ones,what is going to happen as thousands loose housing benefits and become homeless,it does not take much to realise that their ideas will cause anarchy in the UK

    You are 100% correct. It is a viscous circle and caused by two political parties now 3 that the Tories have taken on their new apprentices the Liberal Democrats whom can really only be called traitors to their party and their nation plus those in the electorate who voted for them on their lies.

    I doubt seriously though that anything will change. The electorate in the UK is too pacified, propagandised, and brain washed to do anything about it.

    You know I spoke on the phone yesterday with someone in the states and they said that there wasn't just a tea party movement going on there now. It seems some people who are supporters of both their political parties are talking about pulling an Egyptian on whatever government reigns there if they don't change their ways. I wonder if it is a growing trend, not just in the middle east, but all over the world. I've actually seen some comments on here saying the same thing.

    It may be the only way to go if people do actually want to be represented. Problem will be like in Bahrain at the moment. I think a few of us will end up being shot if we do it and then it will be said it is because we are armed or putting the nation in jeopardy. Appears that is what happens when the wealthy elite and those they pay to represent them above all else feel threatened. Just a thought.

    Cut all government entitlements and bureaucracies. It's high time we cleaned house.
