Pick something you don't like (if you are a MP) and demand it cease to give the saved money to
blah, blah, blah <--- dyslexic sheep.
IF they did disband this icon of the RAF I doubt the money would go where Mr. I N Flatable love Ewe wanted it too anyway.

When I was in Wales last week I spoke to a number of the locals regarding the Low Fly, to my suprise not one stated they wanted to see it stop. It helps the local economy so much....then you get these tossers in power who look at the end of their nose and thats it. :o)

I bet that if they built it in Wales, they would be the best thing since sliced bread.

Let the Welsh have Wales (out of order I know) and get rid of the MP's the country doesn't need etc etc etc

Yesterday Cameron was out to get benefit cheats, the money saved could pay for so many thousand nurses (course it woukd). Fine, but how about overhalling the benefit system as well?
When I started work recently I was concerned I may not be able to get the money I needed to travel to work.
Could I get any help? you can guess the answer.
Whilst I was in there (for 2+ hours) a young guy asked to see someone regarding a "Crisis loan". As I left, the same guy was saying to his friends "I have to pick it up at 3 o'clock, are we going to Cleethorpes or getting pissed". A girl with him "no point going to Cleethorpes that late, let's go to the pub".
How much money is wasted and why is it so easy for these people to get it?

A friend of mine's wife was recently made redundant, they manage the house on two wages, she has worked for no end of years. She went to claim benefits to help them out. She was told that she could not claim a penny as her husband was working. Now is that how the system works. X(

My brother was made redundant 18 mths ago - he lives with his partner & her two children - they have a mortgage - she works partime 9-3 because the kids are school age - all he could get was £47pw job seekers allowance!

It was set up initially to help those who fell on hard times, now it turns those away. Anyone can fall onto hard times, but lets be right here, why can the cleethorpe gang get it.....yet the ones who have worked and paid into the system not?

Tell them (your friends, relations) to stand outside the Jobcentre drinking cider, then go in and create about having no money.
It works, seen it more than once.

You can probably guess this PI$$ES me off immensley X(
