Stop insuring your house then. that will allow you to keep more of our own money and benefit. Everybody makes different decisions about the level of insurance they want on their property - for some a low level of cover is indeed a benefit as it allows them more money to spend on other things. I'm surprised that I have to explain insurance to you. I'm not surprised that you have completely missed the point. |

This should have happened years ago, they should do 3 days a week community service 2 days job hunting or lose benefits. It should be a leg up on benefits for 6 months then if they dont take one of 3 job offers they lose benefits for good. Jobless will have to learn work skills or have their benefits cut in new 'carrot and stick' crackdown on unemployment Four areas of the country are already piloting the two-week scheme Non-attendance will result in claimants losing universal credit for up to 3 months Read more: Benefits system blamed for 'marriage gap' between rich and poor www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11739591/Jobless-learn-work-sills-benefits-cut-crackdown-unemployment.html |

I'm surprised that I have to explain insurance to you. But you weren't arguing here on having a choice of what NHS services etc you have. You were arguing that spending cuts had no cost. So my analogy is that 'spending cuts' in your insurance does have a 'cost' Just as spending cuts in your 'tax' does have a 'cost' |

To spend quite a lot on waste. Certainly in the eyes of many, but a government with no income can't do any of the positive things that need to be done. Taxes were initially imposed to finance war, not LGBT pedestrian crossings. |

But unemployment in the UK is very small compared to historical numbers. The big problem now is lack of quality jobs. The say 'quality jobs' to define them from low paid jobs. The implication of the words 'low paid' is that the simple solution is to pay them more. |

Bank base rates rose after Labour won in 97. Bank rates continued to rise for a very short period under NL in 97, before falling well below the many years under Tory administration. Brown also raided pension funds, another disater for those who had tried to provide for their future. |

Ah those good old days. I think everyone thinks that tax to back the land grab of the rich is far better than a gesture towards LGBT. Sigh. |
