Budget 2009: All the latest

I see all these comments & I wonder if folk (including Gordons Mob!) know whats going on in their own country?? We hav a system in place that encourages scroungers & layabouts! Why can people claim money when they havent contributed?? If you dont put cash in the bank you cant draw it out??? What part of that DONT you understand??? So what do the so called peoples party do the penalise savers & home owners they encourage unmarried mothers to continue to reproduce children with multi- fathers they force OAPs to sell the home they scrimped & saved for to pay for their Nursing home care, they means test people who have worked ALL their life many serving in the forces to give todays generation a better life.. They pay immigrants MORE then out own needy & openly encoursge a society that has seen massive increases in Crime, Drug Abuse, Violence & a general errosion of our Culture, Civil pride & identity as a nation They should be ashamed they should call an election & all future politicans should only be paid on RESULTS if they dont perform out they go.. In the real world you get tthe sack so I say Gordon Brown & the Rest GET REAL! Yes Im a pensioner Im 70 I served in the REs the RN & the RAF a total of 23 years I have never had any hand outs Ive never been unemployed why because I took what was available & kept my pride even if it paid less than benifits .. I also like to say to people with children Dont have any more unless YOU can afford to pay for their upbringing as Im FED up paying for them!! THank you Mr Brown for the Thieves, Beggars, Illegals CHarter you really are popular with the UKs idle, unlawful & general misfits Im sure if they all vote you might get in again next time I pray to the Lord you dont .
PS If I sound bitter its because I am I have seen our beloved land raped, devalued,demeaned, while our MPs sit in their Ivory Towers counting their earnings.

It's nice to see that everyone states we should have a better Old Age Pension to live on, I agree, I also agree it should be equal to the benifits of the unemployed.
At presant the O.A.Pension is taken off people like a LEGAL Government MUGGER to pay the Council rates, You have little comming in But you must pay. The council states that its not what you have comming in, ITS YOUR ABILLITY TO PAY, This means if you have less than the £16,000 Government minimum before claiming benifits [for the unemployed],The pensioner must pay even down to below a £1,000. CAN YOU CLAIM anything as a pensioner, YES, But only when you can nolonger pay your rates and still they will try and take your old age pension even if you are starveing, cold and unable to maintain your house. Its time pensioners got the rates reduced by 50% at 65, reduced by 75% at 70 and nothing after 73 [live longer? little chance],I also believe that the council should help maintain pensioners house's at a reduced rate of 75% as most over 70 cannot.
IF you believe pensioners should vacate their homes to make way for younger employed people and sell for less, THEN say SO BUT implement the above first,GIVE and STOP the TAKE,TAKE, TAKE culture imposed on the elderly.

My Wife & I are pensioners we have modest private pensions & savings because we saved when we were young no fancy holidays just camping & b&bs. Two sons doing well,I worked with people who would not join the works pension,they spent money on drink & booze.Too many expectthe government to keep them.thank you Labour for the best NHS

THEYVE CREATED THIS MESS IF THEY LOSE THE NEXT ELECTION THEYWALK AWAY WITH POCKETS FULL.MAKE THEM PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES BY MAKING THEM PAY.THE TORIES WILL TAX HEAVIER
TO FILL GAPS.ITS A VICIOUS CIRCLE WHICH WE PAY MORE THEY DO LESS.ROAD TAX INCREASES THE ROADS IN MY DISTRICT HAVE NEVER BEEN MAINTAINED SINCE LABOUR GOT INTO POWER.
AS FOR CARBON EMMISIONS THE SEA PRODUCES MORE CARBON THAN US ON TERRA FIRMA.SO LETS POLUTE OURSELVES WITH SULPHUR AND NITROGEON OXIDE DIESEL FUMES,MMM I CAN BREATHE ON THAT AND SO CAN PLANTS WHICH I FEED THIS COUNTRY WITH.HUH ITS AS PLAIN AS GLASS.WANT ENGLISH SUMMERS STOP USING DIESEL.

lets face it the budget misses the mark by miles. To stimulate the economy of this country we nead money in the pockets of the spenders (the public) helping the banks who caused this is totaly wrong. If money spent on the banks was distributed progresively with the public by tax relief or a lump sum that didnt affect the household allowances in any way this would stimulated the economy and the banks would have got there return through there perviose high interest rates. With this the country and the people could spend to generate a cash flow (required for any business to sustain a progressive profit) so we the public and the country can recover at the same time without massive goverment loans "simples".
