campaign against welfare cuts and poverty

I would like to know that as well, because as you quite rightly point out there are no credible statistics to back up contentions of a vast army of "scroungers".
As for the latest attack on sick and disabled people, "Employment Support Allowance" brought in, in October 2008 to replace Incapacity Benefit, (eventually), the way that is being administered is a national disgrace.
95% of people being given a "medical" by the ATOS doctors are being found fit for work, including terminally ill cancer sufferers, people with multiple sclerosis, autism suffers and a lot of other very sick and disabled people.
Not many groups or people that I am aware of, with a few notable exceptions like Benefits and Work, and RADAR. (CAB are very busy dealing with Employment Support Allowance appeals though)
I think it's time some welfare cuts were made. I know people that have been living on them for many years. They have families and the welfare dependancy goes on and on.
I most certainly will not be backing this kind of thing.
The gravy train has to end somewhere.

i was wondering what happened to BNP trolls
No you fuck off.
I know someone who sat back and watched the state pay his interest for the last twenty years enabling him to sell up and buy a house outright up north with no mortgage no worries.
Only people that work and pay their mortgages should have that luxury not fucking spongers.

shut it you egg!
Come back when you can string two sentences together in any kind of comprehensible format eh?
Sorry, but if you can find me anywhere on the Department of Work and Pensions website that give chapter and verse of a benefit that was available 20 years ago until the present day to pay the interest on a mortgage I will see Elvis piloting the lead pig of a squadron of flying pigs over my home.
I would also point out no bank or building society would leave someone unevicted for 20 years if they were just getting the interest paid.

Actually, might as well flounce.
Goodness, you're right. I was about to accuse you of kneejerk silliness and then I looked at its previous.
Have a look at what the current levels of Carers Allowance, Jobseekers Allowance, Income Support, and Pensioners Credit are. These are benefits which you seem to think are part of the gravy train. Try living on just that amount for a short time, but you won't. IMHO you couldn't bear it.

You'd rather the dole pay NOWT for his house and then he loses it and they have to pay £80 housing benefit?????
the other day i negotiated with the Halifax on someone on JSA's behalf and the very maximum they would allow him to be on interest only payments was ONE YEAR.
Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story in The Sun

i don't think she CARES really. It's more offensive to her that someone who's worked all their life and needs a £64pw kickback from their contributions, than it is the Queen who gets millions just to look after her horses.

Apart from a couple of comma's missing, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the grammar.
Not only does it make perfectly good sense but the sentiments are absolutely right too!
Apologies seventeen years: This person was paying the mortgage at best for a year.
In May 1992 th Social Security (Mortgage Interest Payments) Act came into effect, providing for Mortgage Interest Payments to owner occupiers on Income Support to be deducted from their benefits and paid directly to the lenders.

Hardly getting over it.
There are, however, credible statistics (from the DWP and the Audit Commission), the latest being from around 2007, that can be analysed to reveal that those who are classed as "perennial work-avoiders" are about 100,000 out of the total jobless claimant population.
Although theoretically those already on long-term IB should continue to receive IB as long as they pass (or is it fail
) the assessment.One of the interesting things I gleaned from a letter to my MP a few years ago was that the doctors ATOS uses (and indeed those contracted to do individual medical examinations for Disability Living Allowance) do all have medical qualifications, but don't necessarily have to have been practicing prior to being retained to examine claimants, so among the doubtless number who are good doctors, you've got a leavening of tossers and wasters who scraped through their hospital years and then went to work for drug companies and the like. Wonderful, eh?
