I did 5 hrs work the other day for the little chap I look after with severe learning needs as you know. I was paid after my £6.08 tax reduction of £27.25. And that's working for a living. The wages of this country for the many is a pittance. The benefits for those who need it is even less. No wonder, the young mum needs a second job, or may be a third.

Nothing in it surprised me and let again the same people are being targeted. Although the net is now catching other benefits such as working tax credicts. Will this create more uproar than cuts just for 'scrounges' I wonder? Interesting to see...<br /><br />As for the family you mention I find it saddening that young families are struggling in this way. The safety net that should exist in any caring society seems to have large holes in it at best or has been removed altogether. Who are we meant to turn to when, through no fault of our own, we fall on hard times? <br />Scary times we are living in......Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16628860673095348176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769437744086749047.post-42470071871417535152012-12-05T19:09:26.951+00:002012-12-05T19:09:26.951+00:00Very well put Penny, it's always the people le...Very well put Penny, it's always the people least able to afford it that lose out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700166390409012001noreply@blogger.com
