I am quite concerned that with the installation of Boris Johnson and David Cameron?

Question

When he gets in and he will because people want to just try anything to make sure that what has happened with Tony Blair will not happen again but the fact is neither Boris or David Cameron know anything about the way real people live both born with a silver spoon in their mouth and with the Poverty gap now at its widest Is there anyway which the poor and considering that a third of Britons are single people who are struggling to make pension payments on top of there every day bills which are escalating faster than wages where will it leave these people.

Answer 1

So you think Boris or David Cameron knows nothing about the way real people live. Do you know how public schooled people think? When we had real labour Government many of the front bench were ex public school boys, perhaps you could tells us their thought processes. Generalisations are dangerous and not to be relied on as giving a true picture.

It is true that the gap between rich and poor is greater than when New Labour took office. I put it down to the ex public schools boys in New Labour not wanting their differentials eroding.

No blame can be place on Boris or David Cameron for you having to make significant pension contribution, For you information one of Gordon Browns first act as Chancellor was to take 5 billion pounds out of the contributions held by the pension mangers and he has done that every year since. That once reason for your greater contributions.

Some of your household bills are increasing because of world commodity prices, food and oil for example. All of the foods in supermarkets if delivered by road, many people have no alternative but to use the car to travel to work. New Labour have increased the tax on petrol, they pretended it for environmental reasons. Nothing of the sort it was to raise money and do not believe otherwise. They have increased so many taxes that there I have not the time to descried them all. Suffice to say that you now work five days in every twelve to pay tax.

How will single people cope, remember (paraphrase) Mr Micawber income 20 pounds 1920 pounds and sixpence result happiness. You mention only single people, there many others effected, more so those on fixed incomes, pensions and the like, could you manage on 85 pounds a week.

Your local council has many tax raising powers and other means of taking money from your pocket, it runs into millions of pounds. I blame the toffs on the council.

Answer 2

But are you not forgetting that 68% of the Labour cabinet went to Private Schools, including Broon, Blair (Fettes, the Scots Eton) and Darling.

Thatcher, Heath and Howard were Grammar School kids.

Answer 3

i'm old enough to remember how adolf thatcher & her gestapo party hated the working population & did all in their power to grind us into the dirt under the heels of their jack boots. i've never seen anything from the tories to make me think different. however, this "new labour" nest of crooks have utterrly disillusioned me. both to the labour party & to politics in general. i recall thinking we were onto a winner when "new labour" got in, little realising that they were no better than a back-stabbing shower of faithless traitors to their class & their electorate. i'll always hate tories. i'll chew off my own limbs before i'll ever vote tory (thanks to adolf thatcher et al) but it will be a cold day in h**l before my mark goes beside a labour candidate again. better a known enemy than a betrayer.

Answer 4

Hi!! When the last conservetive government was in power they gave people the opportunity to save a lump sum, then get back the whole income tax that they had payed for the last 5 years. This they had to add to the savings to start a pension fund for themselves.  The the first thing that Gordon Brown did as Chancelor was to levy a 19% tax on that money when it was due for payment. My partner invested £13000 under that scheme and the payment is due for settlement in 3 weeks time. She has been condemned for being thrifty

They do things like this then talk about a poverty gap that they have helped to create.

Answer 5

Eton

Oxford

Downing Street

Answer 6

New Mayor of London sounds just like the Mayor of New York City.  Except your mayor is against congestion taxing.  I think you have the better mayor.

Answer 7

I am not concerned about Boris Johnson and David Cameron!Why?Any one must be better than Gordon Brown and Kenny Livingstone!As a former Labour voter!Will Ken Livingstone declare his expenses for the last 8years?

Answer 8

Don't be silly. My parents were both working class and I was not brought up with a silver spoon in my mouth, but I've worked hard for what I have today. How can there be a poverty gap in the UK when the labour party throws money at people on benefits. The world does not owe anyone a living, hard work will pay off but if you sit on your backside you deserve everything you get.

Answer 9

Looks like we have another labour luvvy crying over spilt milk.

Answer 10

Although you talk about Boris and Cameron having a silver spoon in their mouth, their birth was not chosen by them and is not a good education something that most parents want for their children?..So what.. both went to Oxford..surely going to the best University in the world is a good thing. I have noticed that Tony Blair has just bought a 4 million pound mansion to add to a vast property portfolio, probably much of which was gained using public money. Is he a person that cares about the poor? Hardly he has made himself rich off of the backs of others. Boris and Cameron cannot do any worse than an already corrupt Mayor and Labour Party.
