We have seen some fancy foot work going on here, from, what in my own mind, is the most disgusting situation this country has been subjected to, good honest people being forced to feed their families by charitable hand outs to strange people wanting to put flowers in their hair I’m just glad they weren’t in my billet. Now let’s go back to the reason I started this thread & I will make it easy as I can. Has anyone got the bottle to answer these simple questions, they’re not too hard & I’ve used no ’big’ words to make them easy to understand;

Do you think it’s right that in one of the worlds richest countries that people, through no fault of their own, should have to get charitable food handouts to feed their families?

Do you think it’s right when people are being forced into poverty by deliberate government policy that the richest in the land should be given, by the same Government, an extra 5p in the pound?

Do you honestly believe that "we’re all in it together"?

I look forward to the answers even though I know it’s unlikely that I will get any because to answer honestly would condemn the current administration & we can’t have that can we.

A situation may be desperate but never serious

So you reckon that my posting prior to the above quotation is not a condemnation of the present administration, Colin Hall’s use of the words "poor governance" is really a back handed compliment. Terry Carey "Cameron hasn’t got the balls" all words of praise, this is one of the first threads on this site that I have seen that is condemning the government, by the vast majority of the posters, maybe you’re upset that we also pointed the finger at the previous administration as well!

One question, all these poor people queueing for charitable handouts, (food), these I take,  are the unemployed with families, if they are not buying food with their benefits, what are they spending the money on??? surely the first priority for a family man/woman is to feed the kids.

I agree that the 5p in the pound tax relief to the richest is a kick in the teeth to the rest of us, but in the grand scheme of things it does not amount to enough to make any appreciative difference to the economy.

Whichever way you view it, we are in this together, the subtle difference is, the wealthy can afford it, always have, and always will.

Please stop refering to call me Dave as a conservative, he uses that title, but has no more idea of the meaning of the word, than his ability to flap his arms and fly.



Never say a humorous thing to a man who does not possess humour. He will always use it in evidence against you.

Alright Colin, As I was the first to point out that it was under Labour administration that I had hardship I think your theory I’m in some weird & wonderful way "upset that we also pointed the finger at the previous administration as well!" but I will point out it wasn’t the "previous administration" that created the laws that have caused this current hardship for some but plenty for others. I also note that you haven’t answered the three easy questions.
