So you're admitting you're morally bankrupt, eh?

Wish I believed in karma.

I apologise for being snippy earlier but I've become used to glib replies from you which don't respond to many of my points. You surely have to admit that it seems you are fishing around for figures which prove the cuts to benefits won't be as punishing as most of us think? I've not seen you actively defend them as yet or explain why they will be of benefit to the economy and the millions of people affected by them?!



I'm not fishing around at all but I am in favour of the cuts especially to the benefits, I have stated the cuts are to deep especially the working tax credits for single parents this is wrong in my opinion its the aid budget that needs slashing more than anything but it's not going to happen you win some you lose some.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Promise a man someone else's fish and he votes Labour.

This completely ignores the fact that there simply aren't all that many jobs out there.

I agree with this - this country keeps, arbitrarily, giving it's money to overseas causes (which usually are outside the control of this country), when it struggles to look after its own interests properly.

We can quite easily afford the aid budget and we can also afford the welfare payments. We are the 6th richest nation on earth after all. We just have a government who choose to redistribute wealth to the top and demonise the poor and needy. In fact, we wouldn't have any poor and needy citizens if the government were not so divisive.

Have a look at how much tax avoidance goes on if you want to know how the government can balance the books. The cabinet is full of the very wealthy. They only know greed and corruption.

The government's spending £93 billion a year on corporate welfare / tax breaks / subsidies to businesses (http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/07/corporate-welfare-a-93bn-handshake), but you never hear any calls from these prejudiced bigots to cut down on that budget, or take bigger steps to clamp down on tax avoidance, do you? It's always these supposed 'scroungers' who are to blame.

Corbyn always answers a question when asked this is very refreshing even if you don`t agree with everything he says, politics has been so corrupted by spin and fear of saying the wrong thing that he will get my vote, politics shouldn`t be about worrying what might be popular with the press and spin doctors but,wanting to stand up for policies you believe in.  At least there will be a difference and serious debate if Corbyn is in charge

Exactly. Stand or fall by what you believe in, not what you think is popular and will get votes.
