I regret voting conservative - I have made a big mistake

You are oozing with aspiration. Well done.


He makes so much money hes the spare time to spend 14hours a day on here.

it's the freedom i can afford unlike you.

How much money do you have to make to spend that amount of time here? Or do you sleep at work?

How does that even correlate ... or make sense?

lol you dont even know me

What are you? Becoming more economically literate?

At least you're on the right path...


Yes I am completely envious of your CEO life where you spend 14 hours a day commenting on a student forum

No I'm not a Tory. At least I try to be .. moderately independent.


There's no doubt PIP was terrible and a less efficient option, but money was saved while maintaining the same quality.

Well you see properly rich people don't have to do any work. I know, I know, it goes against all the propaganda you've swallowed, but it's reality.

(Not that I believe for one second he runs this business)

If you got enough money you can just pay people to make money for you. Giving you time to enjoy life's finer things, like TSR

Mr Gates is obviously a guilty millionaire.

can tell you are lonely. Sad tory.

I haven't seen any hatred. I've seen proffesional scrounges use fear tactics about these vulnerable people in order to defend their own benefits claims.

He knows what I mean. He's a troll.

Now let's analyse the "hatred towards minorities/disabled/single mums/the poor"

Let's start off with the word "hatred" which somehow in Bill NoGates' vocabulary is synonymous to "cuts". Cutting back spending on social welfare does not equate to "hatred".

In 2008/9 the disability spending (Disability Benefit) was 28.45bn, this has since increased to 36.4bn. Inflation since then has been 26.24% in total, yet the budget has increased by 27.9%. Where's the hatred?

Single moms ... well I don't have to point out the free childcare which has been on the media every 8 minutes do I?

"The poor" .... No. Tories believe in personal responsibility and they want to hand it over to you. Does a 4 000 pound increase in personal allowance sound familiar?

Someone earning 20 000 in 2010 would pay 4277 in tax, which is of 21% their income

1571 in National Insurance
(6470 Personal Allowance)
2706 in Income Tax
= 4277

Someone earning 20 000 in 2015 would pay 3313 in tax, which is 16% of their income
1433 in National Insurance
(10600 Personal Allowance)
1880 in Income Tax
= 3313

A 5% tax deduction, or 964 in absolute numbers. That's a new 52 inch LCD for every below-average earner in this country per year. Or you could be smarter and invest it or try your luck and gamble it.

No, the poor are not getting poorer. In fact in personal wealth terms the poorest today are the richest poorest there have ever been in this country. People just tend to see public services as part of "their" own "material" wealth so they say they're being poorer.

In 2015/16, a person in the example above would have a disposable income of 3270 after necessities (Power, Food, Clothing, Rent (at 400 p/m)) are taken away. Since 2010 the inflation rate has been 19.77%, if we adjust the disposable income for the inflation rate (albeit it's an average, not necessarily for those 4) ten that's the sum that disposable income should have increased to. So 3270 x 0.8 is 2616 - earnings should have increased by 654 to compensate.

Have they? Well, if we count the tax deductions of 964, yes they have - to a surplus of 310. That means a person on 20k a year is 310 pounds better off than they were in 2010.

Minorities? How exactly has the Conservative Party been hostile to minorities? As far as I know that's UKIP, and the Conservative Party is the only one that has been reaching out to Sikh and Hindu communities in the election campaign and the only one to protect Sikh rights to ceremonial "knives" in public whereas others wanted to ban it?

Rant over.

haha thanks chaps

glad to see my life is interesting to you. I am currently housebound for 2 days whilst the driveway is re-done.

Why on earth are you talking about someone earning 20k a year? Are you actually using them as an example of a poor income earner?

Oh God, that's ****ing brilliant!

Wow Sotonian I didn't know you were a protectionist!

You're improving, soon I'll finally get through to you the fact that benefit spending boosts the economy!

Why you think the Tories are economically literate

or that Labour voters want give-aways for no reason

Maybe a bit less DM/Sun/Torygraph is in order.

What sort of pleb doesn't even own a helicopter? Smh

Oh, so the UN are professional scroungers? The UN made an enquiry into the systematic violations of disability rights under the Tories?

And those who run the Disabled People Against Cuts campaign are filthy scroungers? http://dpac.uk.net


Children from poor income backgrounds are filthy scroungers?

Those made homeless due to having their benefits stopped due to an increase in benefit sanction quotas are filthy scroungers?

Those who are now unnecessarily suffering with mental illness due to a massive reduction in mental healthcare spending are filthy scroungers?

The only thing that's filthy around here, is your disgraceful ignorance. The truth is, you don't give a damn about the old, the disabled, the poor, the vulnerable.
