It's little wonder we are in such a state! The Chancellor thinks it's clever to cap Housing Benefit at £400 a week! A week! That's about as much as I pay a month to my mortgage!
Working Family Tax Credits are being reduced for people earning more than £40k a year! I thought these were designed to help people who were earning low incomes! You'd be hard pushed to find anyone in our department earning that amount!
And what do we get? We get our pay frozen for the next two year! In the mean time, those of us not lucky enough to survive the downsizing will find ourselves out on our ears and having to give up our £400 a month mortgages in favour of a government supplied house at £400 a week! Yep, that makes a whole lot of sense to me
