Wilf, that's what they'll be doing if we hand the economy to George Osborne. And DC doesn't believe in the welfare state, not really - that's why he keeps banging on about volunteering and charities.
So, I suppose if secretly you think the poor should really be shunted off to workhouses rather than leeching off the rest of us then go ahead and vote Conservative. Personally, I am grateful that I am in a position to thrive in our society having been given the tools to do so with a relatively privileged upbringing. I feel it is my duty to give those who can't cope so well with our hard-nosed Capitalism a helping hand.
Really it always baffles me that so many Conservatives claim to be Christians.
It's also a common mistake to say that GB was responsible for our collapsed pensions - that was the Tories when they introduced a tax on surpluses in workplace pensions. Axing the dividend tax credit was natural follow on from that move (thanks again Maggie).
Plus, in case you haven't noticed, it's a GLOBAL recession that's been going on out there.
Lib Dem all the way for me. They are the true socialists
