Right, right, because it's people on welfare that are destroying the economy... Tory logic

    There's like 15 people in this country who could be looking for work and aren't. How does inflicting revenge pain on them raise any sort of money for the rest of us?

    They're either lying, or utterly incompetent when it comes to understanding who's in the welfare system.

    Or both I guess.

    They understand what their voters want to hear: it's not us causing the problem in this country, it's the lazy benefit cheats

    We've come full circle on this one. This is pretty much exactly the same shit they said 13 years ago when we all had to 'tighten our budgets' whilst the richest people in the UK got significantly richer at our expense.

    Jeremy Hunt: "A "poor" asked me for some change or a warm drink the other day. Obviously I wanted to help him, so I punched him in the face and stole his rucksack and blanket, which will support and encourage him back into the world of work."

    Yes

    It's a great bogeyman they can spend money going after because the people who they'll screw over (ie those who will lose their home if they start working as minimum wage is too low and support is only given to people who earn below a certain amount which is way too little) would never vote for them anyway

    Yep, election year in New Zealand too and National are doing the exact same thing... I'm so tired of this boogeyman, I don't know how other people aren't just as tired of this bullshit.

    It continues to disturb me that this is so popular. Hurting the most vulnerable in our society for votes is pretty sick and twisted.

    It's an election year even if its not been announced the tories are doing their favourite thing of targeting a minority within a majority
