SO Mr Os born conspiracy, want to squeeze more out of the poorest to cut the deficit - he should be ashamed.
It was the fat Bankers that caused the problems let them pay. We've baled out the banks - I mean you and me to the tune of £1500 per man, woman and child. Can I have my money back now please, George. At the same time he gives money back to the rich, by cutting the top rate of tax.
Surely the fairest way is to put 1p on income tax and then everyone WORKING pays their fair share until we have recovered.
I do agree that Benefits should have a cap - its not a blank cheque and we can't afford it, but not the poorest to suffer. Also limit their rise to 1% that 's what I've just got after 5 years of no rise. Give the Midwives 1% too.
Again why is VAT at 5% charged on Gas and electricity bills? The poorest (on benefits/pensions) have to pay it or do without Mssrs Cameron and Osborne don't worry about their bills 'cos they're rich. The poorest pay the most relative to their income. If you're going to freeze them (literally) then why not take VAT off the first £1000 of bill?
Lastly yes - if everyone could work and not claim benefits then there wouldn't need to be a freeze on benefits. SO get everyone working Mr Osborne. Hitting them when they're down won't work.

We're all doomed
How about the osBorne Conspiracy spends some money on some new Power Stations? That will do 2 things - plenty of jobs for those building them and running them. If Nuclear - no global warming, cheaper to run, and build them in areas where there is no other employment CUMBRIA!
2 things - 2 it will stop the lights going out in a year or 2. That stupid Government that let the Dash for Gas go on has done it.
YOU'LL BE SORRY
If we don't then there won't be an economic recovery EVER.
Remember I did say that we need to end Fuel Poverty, take off the unfair Energy Tax remember those who are at the lowest end pay the MOST for fuel and the Government of Mr sCameron gets 10% Energy tax.

Scam and conspiracy
Yep - Scameron and the osBorne Conspiracy have done it again with this disasterous budget.
Yes £10k before Tax is to be applauded but that's all.
Nowt for married couples. They just gave back thousands to folk on over £150k - poor souls.
1p back on beer and no duty rise on Petrol/diesel. So its less expensive to go to the Pub!
What about those crippled by rising costs of Gas and Electricity? £1500 a year average whatever your income. At least 10% of that is tax and it hits the low earners (I include all income, e.g. pensioners) hardest. If you keep your use to a minimum and you'r on £5k a year 5% VAT hits you hardest especially as Tariffs are highest at the bottom end.
Biliionaire Osborne and co just don't get it.
You can choose to drink beer and use your car. So do you turn the heating off?
Why doesn't everyone pay TAX? Even those on benefits - ITS INCOME!
Look you can have £10 k tax free isn't that enough to live on? Those on £20k benefits pay tax. After all I earn over £20k and then everything I spend is after TAX - seems fair to me.

1953 Floods on Lincolnshire Coast
So today is the 60th anniversary of the disastrous floods on the Lincolnshire and the whole East Coast of England - January 31st 1953.
Let us remember the ones who died - 42 in Lincolnshire, I think over 1300 in Holland and Belgium, over 300 in England in total. Regardless of Global Warming lets remember the awful power of nature.
Unfortunately this area of Lincolnshire is now one of the most deprived in Europe. It has a demographic population of over 55s much greater than average and also because of low incomes there are a greater number in fuel poverty.
It seems the Government and council are unwilling to help because of the "Flood Risk". I can see that they don't want to put more people at risk but there are alternative arguments.
What should we do - just evacuate all the people and turn it into a no-mans land?
It seems there are Wind Farm builders Queuing up to build their Wind Turbines - I know they can be built in the sea, there are hundreds off shore at the moment, but do they really want to put them on land that will flood? Or should we let them - the price being to beef up the sea defences for the Locals?
Its a choice to be made.
Alternatively with land so cheap etc. why can't other industries be attracted? After all we've seen in the last couple of years there are parts of the inland country that are prone to floods where it was previously unheard of. Weigh that one up - Environment Agency.

More Fuel poverty - TAX Benefits
Surprise - more people in Fuel Poverty.
Lets face it. most people have to heat n light their homes? Even if you economise the bills are horrendous.
Don't forget this Government GIVES millions back to the richest -
cutting tax from 50p to 45p for those on over £100000. Just think, for someone on £200000 that's saved them £5000 a year.
Now I could pay my fuel bills for nearly 5 years on that. Is this FAIR?
Don't forget also we all pay 5% VAT on GAS/Electric (and wood etc.) not to mention the GREEN levy on top of that.
For those on fixed lowest incomes I ask IS THIS FAIR? If you#'re in arrears or on a Pay-as-you-go meter you can't swap and the Tarriff is the highest.
I say the fairest thing is to put 1p on income tax.
As for those on benefits - fairest thing there is to TAX them! So if you get £30k in benefits you pay tax. INCOME is INCOME even if they are Benefits?

More energy Woe
So more folk are struggling with their energy bills? Surprise!
So any way this Government gives back 5p in the pound tax to those on £100k plus and now wants £3 a week from everyone to fund the ghastly Wind Turbines? (as I've said before - what do we do when the wind doesn't blow?). If you're on say £200k he's given you back £5000. That would pay my GAS and Electric for 5 years (at todays prices). Yet in that $1000 is £50 tax. Surely he can get his £3 a week from the rich not the poorest? As I always say in this economic fiasco the fairest way to raise money would be 1p on income tax across the board.
Mr C (Cameron) thinks the EU is in a parallel universe but what about him?
If you're on a fixed income (pensioner) and trying to heat your home doesn't he realise that there is 5% VAT on energy, not to mention the GREEN levy. So when the Energy companies hike their prices the Government gets an even bigger share. Surely this TAX on the poorest is unfair? If you're in arrears you can's switch, and if you're on a pre payment meter (usually the poorest folk), you pay the highest prices.
