How can the Lords understand what the MPs don't?

1/28/2012

OK so it hurts to say it, yes. But the Bishops and the Peers seem to understand better than our MPs that the Government is getting it wrong. Easy to find people who want to bash claimants but it is never that easy. And there is always a lumpy mattress factor - press down in one place and something nasty pops up somewhere else. Life is like that.
And as for 'we cannot afford the £9billion to raise tax thresholds to 10K' - don't make me cry. If we had simply collected what was due from Vodafone we would have had nearly that much EVERY year since heaven knows when. And that's just one tax dodger.
Never forget - these are Tories. They may have a need to cut the bills but what they really believe in is making their mates and themselves richer. Poor people end up borrowing expensively; some die young. Who wins? Smug gits like Cameron, Osborne and their cronies. Who wins if the NHS is privatised?  Who wants errant husbands to run free while their abandoned single ex-wives scrimp to raise their progeny? Who wants housing benefit people out of city centre houses? Oh guess who! Same smug gits? Its always the poor what gets the blame.
 Their time will come but Clegg is just delaying the day.
