I agree with Mikey Dabodee. I work a 50 hour week and earn a lot less than £26k before tax. I couldn't afford to smoke 200 fags and drink 24 cans a week, even if I wanted to, and I don't have Sky TV. I thought benefits were supposed to help you out of a hole when you've fallen on hard times, not be a lifestyle choice. Ironically Raymond's cigarettes cost about the same amount weekly as his rent!

 

Exactly Paul. Yes there will be a lot of opposition to this change from people currently on benifits. But I hope the normally silent majority like you and I make their voices heard too. Incidentally the £26k talked about is actually the total sum awarded after any tax deductions. So for you to be getting the same amount you would have to be earning circa £35k.

Saw Sue Marsh post this on her Twitter feed and I thought I'd post It here.

 

Please sign this online petition asking for the Queen to withhold the royal assent for this heinous welfare reform bill. Please pass this link along the line to anyone who you think might be interested. Every little helps.
