The Government has won its vote to get benefit payments capped at £26,000.

The BBC have helpfully shown an example of a family that will now lose £82.40 a week. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16812185

We dont want these scroungers to suffer (at OUR expense), so I suggest they do the following -

Cut out the 200 Fags a week - Saving 60.00 (*)
Cut out the large pack of tobacco - Saving 12.00 (*)
Cut out the 24 cans of lager - Saving 24.00 (*)
Cut out the money spent on mobiles - Saving 32.00
Cut out the SKY TV subscription - Saving 15.00
_____
143.00

Thats FAR MORE than the money they are "losing".

(*) ITK is not entirely sure how much ciggies, tobacco and lager cost !

The government get the money back on the tax of their ciggies and tinnies...Murdoch gets the £15 of their Sky subscription...other fat cats get the cash they spend on mobiles and heating...

...it's a regeneration of their cash that fills the wallets of the mega rich...besides which the head of the household worked for years, thus played the required national insurance and stamps.

He's simply clawing back what he's already paid in.

...and how would you find him work? He's already stated there is no work for him in the area he lives. Does he conjure a job from nowhere?

The only answer is to scrap the welfare state...but all of society suffers if that happens...even those feeding from the honey at the core of the diseased hive.

He hasn't worked since 2001 - so should never have knocked out a kid (he has a 5 year old) that he could not afford.

If everyone behaved like this scrounger FC, there would be absolutely nothing to pay his benefits with !

As for finding a job ... a respondent on the BBC message board said he had exactly the same job as this man, but retrained and was back in work in months.

Under the new law - passed today !!!! - he would get 9 months to find a new job before the "cap" comes in !

This man says - see link - that some days he doesnt know whether to heat or eat !!!!!!!!!!! (while he is spending £142 a week (of OUR money) on Fags, Sky TV and lager !

OK that's one family. What about the other million?

I'm sure you are Tory counciller.

ye Gods..the Hanging Judge.

not like my (retired) friend in Brighton who was a magistrate. Let all the prettiest boys off with the lightest of wrist slaps. Drove the police crazy

ITK have you been with my ex ? She has all this with 3 kids, free council house no rent to pay, CSA on top with Income Support and Child Tax Credits. I think the Gov should scrap New Deal it never works for Job seekers it's just for them to swindle the figures.

I can (still) do that (as long as veritas is paying for them !)

Go on Jeremy Vile Show take fake a girlfriend with you and tell him what you told us. If we went to work and so did the studio audience he be out of a job the contradictive moron.

small imconvenient facts get overlooked in the shrillness about caping benefits and the endless claims of 'scroungers'.

The private company that oversees who sould and shouldn't be on incapacity benefits is paid £100M a year even though they have been done for fraud in the USA.

The people on benefits are the middle men via which billions are channelled to private corporations or investors from the govt.

Having built up a false housing economy by flogging off assetts and encouraging small investors in property...now they punish the middle person through which benefits passed to those investors by slashing payments.

With rental subsidies cuts should come rent controls if the UK doesn't want a massive change in culture and the shifting off tens of thousands to ghettoes as has happened in the USA with NY being ta prime example.

ITK thinks 'brilliant"!..the criminals have moved out !.It's all bullshit..crime is the same if not worse...those who mug and murder just travel to the city to do so as they know the money is there.(that or the Bernie Madoffs appear)

However israel & USA will bomb Iran and these problems become insignificant as war serves it's usual purpose.

Just as the 'Arab Spring' has convinced even the media that new dictator, not same same as old dictator.

Why should they?
You are in loony-commie mode again veritas !

If you have a property that is YOUR business ... no one else's.
What you do with it is YOUR business and no one else's.
People don't have a right for someone to provide them with housing - they should work for it like everyone else.

You are always trying to bring things down to the lowest common denominator ... instead of encouraging people to rise to the top.

if those businesses were built entirely in a bubble that would be the case,

But they aren't.

one of the fantasies of capitalism.
