Child Benefit scam

[splasha]

There are so many other ways of saving money such as stopping Banker bonuses which run into millions several times a year. Typical Tory way to approach accounting, stop a really effective and used benefit for children, one which women can have access to directly from their own bank or Post Office account. They have alreadly attempted to stop Early Years milk for all. Nobody should be surprised as this is what a traditional Tory Goverment always do, hit at children and families that are not really rich.

"There are so many other ways of saving money such as stopping Banker bonuses which run into millions several times a year"

Bankers bonuses are paid by banks.

Child Benefit is paid for by the Government.

How will stopping the banks spending their money save one single penny of the Government's money?

In fact stopping the bonuses will cost the Government money as they won't get the tax that the bonus receivers would pay.

Well at least they understand that telling A how to spend their money won't put any more money into the pocket of B.
