can you explain why me and many like me should bust our balls and be expected to pay my mortage, council tax, the whole hog and get nothing in return? Then people get the same for nothing. Under the tories the handouts have decreased. At least they dont pretend to care. Ultimately thats whats turned heads. I havent always voted torie but the blind loyalty to ‘working mans labour’ is gone.
You were complaining that 80% of your council tax goes on welfare, now you’re saying that people are getting free handouts. Next you’ll be blaming immigrants.
Maybe you need to have a think about why people need this kind of support. It couldn’t be that (Tory) government policies are continually punishing the worst off and do nothing to actually solving the root cause of these issues.
Take housing benefit, which I’m assuming is something you’re talking about? How is it possible that a family with two low paid parents, probably a mother working part time if the kid is old enough, can afford expensive private renting costs? A family home in my area costs over £1k a month before any bills. Even an average wage of say £26k is going to struggle with that, let alone those who earn well below it.
Yet you’re saying they just need to work harder. Isn’t it more about the lack of social or affordable housing, or the inability for so many young people to get on the housing ladder?
