>benefits

aaaaaaahhhhh dodgy example there

 

Because people abuse benefits? Why does that make it a dodgy example? People evade taxes as well, so would you say having taxes does not make a country better?

Also, this seems relevant: http://prospect.org/article/high-road-wins

 

Outright stating that benefits encourage a healthy economy is a very dubious claim. In the area I'm in, you see firsthand that a wary perspective of benefits is pretty valid; young teen girls deliberately getting pregnant to get a council house and a cozy income from the government. I can name a dozen girls from my primary class alone who've had kids between age 17-20.

 

To be more precise, there are plenty of holes in our current benefit system

 

My turn.

First of, this was my reaction the morning after the results came in. As you can tell, not a fan of a lot of the members in the Conservative Party.



I've got no love for this party. The local conservative MP in my area is annoying and doesn't really care for young people's interests. Privatisation has done more harm than good (I laugh at one my friends, who is a tory supporter, who bitches and moans about how crap First Great Western is, how expensive it is and how useless they are, who I then remind guess which Government messed that up for you, oh wait it's the party you support). That prat in the picture above has messed up the education system and changed it beyond recognition and logic (why mess with AS/A levels, they didn't need fixing!).... I'm just waiting for the day that this new government ups VAT and ups tuition fees again. There's hardly anything I agree with in that party, imo they do more harm than good.


Though I'm not saying that Labour are any better.


Don't even get me started on the voting system.

 

That prat is now the Justice secretary and wants to replace the human rights act with the 'Free rights' act. Regardless of whether I'm rich or poor, there's very little I can agree with morally that the Tory party want to do and that is why I will never vote for them.

People rightly protesting against Austerity in the streets of London, how much media coverage did it get? Zilch.

That didn't last long.

 

Well.... we don't need freedom or civil rights or anything...

... Are you sure that isn't satire?

Talk about 1984...

 

The real fucked up thing is from what I can see there's no real definition of extremist views, am I going to be considered extremist because I think tories are bastards?

 

i genuinely believed this but then the british public went full retard
