Cameron announces Tory plan to slash benefits

White_Privilege [Edit] [Delete] 10:10, 25 June '12

It is said that benefit "claimants with three or more children may start to lose access to benefits, and almost everyone aged under 25 will lose housing benefit."

Not mentioned in the article (of course) is that a recent YouGov poll concluded that 74% of people think that the "Government pays out too much in benefits [and] welfare levels overall should be reduced." Among Labour supporters, 59% agreed with the statement, with only £2% disagreeing. See here: http://yougov.co.uk/news/2012/02/27/charity-ends-home/

All we are seeing here is democracy in action.

Hmmm, interesting...
