Budget hitting the young ? 18:57 - Jul 8 with 11224 viewstrampie

Grants for students from the poorest families gone replaced with loan's.
No housing benefit for under 21's.
Living wage for people only over 25.

So if you are a young person from a poor family and can't afford to go to university because the grants have gone and you don't want a loan and you decide to try and get a job and get one, you are likely to receive a smaller wage than somebody over 25 for doing exactly the same job, since your pay is likely to be low you might then struggle to pay your rent and you wont be able to get housing benefit until you are 21.

Seems very unfair on young people, the Tories will always look to make the rich richer [inheritance tax raised to a million pound], people on benefits were always going to be hit, but i'm surprised how hard they have hit the young.

The Tories are set fair for the next decade but after that the oldies that have done well will die out and will be replaced by the youngsters who perhaps wont have done so well [less pay relatively, greater hours, worse pensions, working to a greater age etc as well as a poorer health service and welfare system] and they might punish the Tories down the line.

I don't understand how so many people know who their parents voted for? I haven't a clue who my parents voted for, I formed my own opinions (granted influenced by how I was raised). I really hope we don't get to the totally nuts polarised situation they have in the usa, but I feel it's creeping ever closer.

Ever since my son was... never conceived, because I've never had consensual sex without money involved... I've always kind of looked at you as... a thing, that I could live next to... in accordance with state laws.

"I naturally assumed it would hit people in the north, guests on the Jeremy Kyle show and the Muslims. That's why I voted Tory."

Arf. It's funny 'cos it's true. The minority of people who somehow managed to provide thus lot with a parliamentary majority have no idea what they've done.


Are you suggesting that universal suffrage, i.e giving votes to stupid people is a bad thing?

I've been banging that drum for years.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Unless they intended to live in the family home. How would you like a 15% tax bill if left a parental house!

The old seem to be untouchable for this government, whereas the young are getting an absolute kicking. All because the old are very likely to vote and the young are not.

The tories don't care about fairness, all they care about is votes. Cunning bastards.

Well.. Labour put us in financial turmoil... Tories are doing what Tories do.. Establishing order.. The cuts are for Labour tw*ts having a financial knees up while putting the eurozone on the financial scrapheap.

Voting for Labour would have potentially ended Greece..

These Union c*nts need a slap around the lughole.. We all know what the Tories were going to do..

So who are you going to vote for? Labour?.. I'm not sure why people earning under 30k vote for Labour.. F*cking morons if you do.. If you vote for the Tories moronic.

Ukip.. Getting out of Europe isn't the worst idea.. But then you've got people potentially losing their jobs..plus they were willing to put the foreign aid on hold to stop the Tories making exuberant cuts..

The SNP will help Scotland massively.. Labour will blame Wales problems on the Tories..

So how do you vote?.. By 2020.. UKIP will gain more seats.. Not because it's 'racist'.. Because they'll see the Eurozone sending countries into the 3rd world..

Actually maggie, never got a majority of the people that voted, not even in england.

But our electoral system meant she got the majority of seats. The same applies for tony blair.

It means we get governments that the majority of people dont want, and for millions of people a vote doesnt count for anything as it doesn't elect an mp.


Having the most votes is a majority, having more votes than everybody else combined is an absolute majority. Mrs Thatcher had the majority of English votes and an absolute majority of English seats.

You do realise this was over thirty years ago? What new directions should the opposition take?

I would say it would be advantageous for the main opposition party to have distinctly different policies to the party of Government to stimulate debate and to be a real alternative.

£170K is more than enough to pay off my current mortgage. So id be happy. If it was a major concern a whole of life policy on my folks would do the job.

Quite right.

I never voted for a party to increase the minimum wage by 30% to be a living wage over the next parliament. Who on earth do they think they are?

If Ed Milliband had suggested that in his manifesto, he would have been laughed off the stage as economically incompetent and bad for business.

I only voted for them as I thought they were bad for foxes, not business. I've been duped.

I was reading this week Skip that there are loads of young men in China who lock themselves in tiny rooms for months, just looking at the internet and playing games etc.

To be fair, they're probably skilled types, which is why they're a bit weird :-)

There you go - I knew they would be skilled ...

By the way - those letters - they mean nothing to me. But I assume COD is Call of Duty? I don't play games, although I have a playstation 2 and I briefly enjoyed the one where you drive round like a loon killing people for a while! I used to play when the Swans lost to ease my tortured soul.
