I don't even touch politics, but after just reading all of that (and deciding it had way too much testerone) I am adding my bit
This past year personally I have been working more hours and coming home with less. The 10p tax thing was a fiasco!! I ended up losing £50 a month extra whilst a colleague who was on a higher wage got £50 extra in his wages due to tax. (Trust me he ran when he said thank you to me for the extra money)
Then the government backtrack and say they will give it back through a variety of benefits. I don't claim benefits and can't because my partner is on a highish wage so they have pocketed my money
I understand what some of you are saying about it not being all the governments fault, but I don't have luxuries all my money goes to household bills and petrol. I am lucky if I have £10 a week to spend on food and essentials. The petrol crisis has added onto our bill an extra £200 a month
there is no decent public transport to get us to work (It would take Martin 3 hours to get to owrk with countless bus changes).
What I am trying to say is that this government has screwed us and can't fix it. And it would take someone with enough guts to take over control and bring us back to life.
Thank you and goodnight
