Overall the document makes it look good, but I don't trust governments when it comes to benefits. It's a big bill for them and they don't want to run out of money.

Looks like I was right not to trust them. For my next mystic prophecy, pigs won't fly tomorrow.

Is it something that you're worried about personally Rossall

I'm not too worried about it as I could live off less money but I'm concerned about those in a worse position than myself financially and having to use food banks or turn the heating off.


Yeah I know
It's actually shameful that this is happening in the UK in the 21st century
I don't know how these politicians and decision makers can show their faces in public

I'm glad you're ok though mate

Thanks bb. Have asked for this thread to be moved to PPR as I think it's more suited to that forum.
