I have just took a member of my family to the food bank. She is a single mother, her husband passed away just over a year ago, she has 2 kids, one is 18yrs old but has a mental condition and fall's into a category that no one wants to take responsibility for. She was claiming Child tax credit for him but out of the blue and through no fault of her own, they decided that THEY should have stopped his TC when he was 16yrs old and are now taking £50 a week from her benefits. She was given food vouchers by CAB to help her get by whist this is sorted out.
I don't give two tosses to who they represent, all politicians who choose to top up their already swollen bank balances in this way, should be ashamed of themselves.

Before you repeat your usual reply, I don't give two tosses whether it is legal or illegal, it most definitely IS Immoral to me and I am sure many other's.
Things are going well for you and people like you and believe it or not, I have no problem with that. We are not all alike and we have to accept what is good for one person is sometimes the opposite for others.
You probably wont believe me but I truly want business to be successful, I have no problem with wealth or profit and I don't want them to pay more Tax, I just want them to pay their due Tax.
I fully accept that decent hard working employers and employees, should get what they deserve, including bonus's for genuine achievements.
We are all different and have different aspirations, what's right and good for you, is not necessarily right for me but that does not mean, one is right and one is wrong.
What incenses me about people like you, this coalition and now even Milliband, is how you are all using the 1% of benefit cheats to grab whatever you can while you can.
You truly do not know what effect that these oppressive and derisive cuts, are having on 1000's of genuine decent families.
You all have different reason for doing it, you seem to have a perverse liking to these cuts, for reasons only you could explain, the rest are simply trying to hang on to lucrative life style's and the others are just trying to grab a piece of it for themselves.
However we can recover from this. There are enough good Politian's, good Businessmen, good wealthy people, good workers and good people, who genuinely care about what is happening today to turn this around.
Greed and selfishness has spread like a cancer in this country and it must be cured.
You want us not to interfere with commerce and leave them to get on with it.
Banks are now paying £billions in fines because we have left them to it.
I have not got the solution and I am not interested or care whether or not, its Browns/Thatchers, Tory/Labour's, fault.
What I am interested in, is restoring the balance for everyone's sake.
