Labour reformed the sickness benefit in case it escaped your attention and while poorly implemented it is reducing the number of claimants. A quick google search will tell you the ESA appeal rate is sky high which is symptomatic of wanting to reduce the number of sick.
The coalition want to severely curtail if not eliminate the mobility component of DLA
I guess the problem is SS4, that we shouldnt have been in this situation in the first place. Trying to fix another broken Labour mechanism that was used to hide the true extent of the level of unemployment is just another problem this and the next government will have to deal with...thus taking time, effort and energy out of combating real issues facing this country.
Once again nothing to do with bailing out the bankers. What was Labour supposed to do when the inherited very little manufacturing and privatised services - it's like selling the family assets and wondering why your children are broke!
Did labour come to power and benefit from the strong economy started by the tories?
"Get on your bike and look for work!" - sound familiar?
Sounds like pretty sound advice actually. Get off yer behind and do something for yourself. Cant go wrong there really
It's really that simple isn't it? Forget a lack of experience of youth, the fact that tens if not hundreds are after every job going. What are you supposed to do?
Gee, I dunno but there seem to be an aweful lot of foreigners working in the fields picking your brussel sprouts and celery these days. I contend that the jobs are out there but because todays ****less youth expect to be paid billions from the get go, farmers and others have to look for other societies who are prepared to work hard.
Aside from jobs this is essentially the message of the Big Society - people volunteer to run local services using their own money. The government can then cut jobs and money. Why are Labour areas disproportionally hit by "budget reductions" (which are cuts to anyone but the hardest Tory)
I dunno but maybe, if that really is the case, the reason labour areas have been hit is because they benefitted the most from a decade of labour waste.
What should the family be like? A mother and a father who are married, one boy and one girl who sit down at the table with each other every night, eat a home-cooked meal and who go to Church every Sunday? Labour introduced Civil Partnerships finally allowing homosexual couples much the same rights as married ones
A family is a family however under a decade of labour waste it seems that the traditional family unit of mum, dad and the kids was viewed for some reason a racist/bigotted/biased statement...hence labours deliberate destruction of that unit as a socially cohesive unit.
To the government's credit they are making it easier to adopt/foster different race children to the parents.
Except if you are a catholic or have expressed christian views.
How would the Coalition enforce the traditional nuclear family? Through Murdoch, Jeremy Hunt and there cronies making a mockery of the competition commission?
Although utterly irrelevant, what you seem to forget is that the country already has a far more insidious organisation that controls what this country gets through the news...and it does that with a near £4 BILLION budget (yes, Im talking about the BBC).
Murdoch, unlike the BBC, has to actually compete on the open market. If you dont like anything his channels carry, you dont have to pay for it...unlike the hard leftist, hate this country and whities but love homos and terrorist BBC.
What about someone studying Maths, Science or Engineering? University should be free for all (not just for Scotland) albeit with greater conditions on entry. Graduates will contribute to the economy, especially if the jobs are there for them. Naturally in the current economic climate this isn't feasible.
Or...maybe only some "useful" degrees like engineering could be free but if you want to do some waste of time degree called political science or the like, then you pay for it.
Except for those who's daddy is rich enough to put them through (quite possibly on his own inheritance)
And the problem is what? Once again, the politics of envy rears its ugly head. If you have parents who care enough to pay for your university education then lucky you.
Labour would not have had to introduce the Winter Fuel Allowance if they could have power over the energy market. That being said it was typical of Labour that they'd take with one hand and give a little back after.
Labour probably wouldnt have had to do much if this countries power generation ability hadnt been purposely allowed to die off...and all in the name of Mann Made Global Warming (tm).
Id rather this and every other government spent its time concentrating on energy security instead of interferring in a christian couples desire to foster children!
I would like to see how that would work, it's a sound idea in theory.
For this to work, it would require people to take an interest in how their council is run and then those councillors who dont measure up or dont carry out the will of the people being voted out instead of being voted in because of the party they belong to.
And for this reason, is why I believe the tea party movement in the states caused such a political slaughtering of Democrats...because the people took control and put people in power who would listen to them. Dont forget that under the big headline of the Democrats handing power back to the Republicans there was a much bigger but less seen revolution, but this was at the governor level where pretty much every Governor is now a republican.
But yeah, chances of anything like that happening in this country? Probably less than zero.
50% would be interesting but exactly what would go?
Dunno but they could start with all those non-jobs created by labour. Lets start with all those elf and safety roles!
