DazedConfused

I live in Sussex ... that's South of London

Some how I think Priorities are Wrong,Needs a serious re think,unless of course the Government are going to give Pensioners the Equivelent. :-( :-( Not much hope of that. :-|

Hardly
If you live in the south your only alternative is to move up north to be able to afford to live. There are very few decent paying jobs in London in fact in the paper today some are paying less than £8.00 ph.

So your housing benefit is cut. You can no longer afford to live in the private rented accomodation you have lived in for donkeys years. You are now homeless. The government has save money (yippee) And now the council has to pay to put you into B & B. All the governement has done is save themselve money but passed the buck on to the local councils.

Now you can only be put into B & B for a certain amount of time then you have to be given somewhere to live ie a council home. Well there ain't many in London.

What is going to happen now is the North/South divide is going to get worse, and many southerners forced to move up north to look for cheaper accomodation and jobs, which we know are virtually non-existent in some towns.

So now does it look so good.

The money saved by the government is less than 0.01% of the overall debt we have. And we must remember that Pensioners cost us far more than the unemployed. Unemployed take about 1% of DWP monies, Pensoners take 10%.

So now does it look so good.

When your beloved Boro (I am assuming somewhere like Middlesbrough) is overrun with people from the South looking for jobs and homes will you think it so good then.

This is a short term fix, which will in fact fix nothing.

If you live in London whether employed or not, private accomodation is on average £700,00 pw. Whilst we are told on average around £560.00 per month in some parts of northern England.

I feel the government is yet again blaming the , and we are all falling for it. Yes there are some families who have no intention of working, but they are a minority, not the majority as we would be led to believe.

Calm, Calm, Calm....... Its the heat...... :-S

Me too...

£500 a week for couples/lone parents = £26,000 a year

£350 for single people = £17,500 a year

........
State Pension for someone who has paid Tax & NI all their working life:

£110.15 per week + £5,727.80 a year
...........

:-S

looks good to me :-D :-D

Sounds to good to be true
