The welfare reform bill voted through Parliament the other week run by this coalition of tories and liberal democrats will penalise a number of our residents who are recovering from cancer treatment and will lose many of their support benefits . Is this the kind of society this lot want where we kick those who are fighting to get back to normality after their traumatic chemotherapy only to have vital support removed them?
Sandwell's Liberal Democratic Mayor was so disgusted she tore up her Party membership and joined the labour party... thank goodness for people with principles.
I suppose it goes with the flow when you have another Tory suggesting that those who are disabled should be offering themselves for a job at a discount, somehow suggesting they are damaged goods... how insulting!
There are some cracks appearing in this coalition made apparently in hell where you abandon a good chunk of your election promises and bring forward another manifesto that no-one voted for..
thank goodness hopefully a bit of compassion will appear before we send all the weakest to the wall..
A Liberal Democrat peer with responsibility for the party's welfare policy has said there must be exceptions to the proposed £26,000 benefits cap to provide "fairness" and "justice".
Lord German suggested child benefit could be excluded from the limit.
He said: "There must be an exception in order to provide fairness and justice for this relatively small group of people."
And so (should) say all of us.
