Tory plan to rob the old and poor to pay for the sick

Tory plan to rob the old and poor to pay for the sick

George Osborne, the Shadow Chancellor, intends to cut pensions and benefits to put extra money into the NHS. This news comes at a time when MPs are seeking a £20,000 pay rise to reclaim back the money they can no longer fiddle from their expenses claims.

It goes to prove that the Tory Party has really not changed. This robbing Peter to pay Paul, when they are happy to receive donations from Tory Peers living in Tax exiles. Why doesn't the Tory Party come up with plans to tax these super rich tax dodgers instead?

George Osborne is one of the most pompus out of touch people out there.

The fact he's a Tory just cements the arguement. He's stinking rich and as always people have to realise that the Tories are in it for the good of themselves.

They dont give a shit about average joe.

We have to have a government but god help us if that lot get in again!

I fear that political life in this country has become too much of "Wots in it for me?" on all sides of the political divide, rather than to quote John F Kennedy -
"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."
(Substituting politicians for Americans of course!)
If ever there was a time for a new political party appearing, it is now.

alex: I hope they don't get in again, I'm still sore from the last time.

BB: I suspect that the LibDems are still too weak to mount a proper challenge.

considering the small amount of people that actually vote. It wouldnt take much for a new party to get up and running.

All three parties are out of touch, its all about the 30% of people that vote and their feelings and sod the rest.
