Passed into law by parliament ages ago. Too late to change things now, this is why everyone needs to be informed about politics at the earliest stages when people power could make a difference.

Unfortunately, many people don't even glance at serious newspapers or news programmes.

Off my soapbox now.

I'm dreading the changes, Struggling enough as it is, self-employed but only work part-time so get help with tax credits, housing benefit and council tax benefit. Worse bit is when I'm ill I am unable to rest cos no work means no pay :(

Dont give up guys, Remember Maggie Thatcher and her pathetic POLL TAX. The ladies not for turning Ha Ha. Sometimes people power can work even in the very late stage's. Lets start the uprising here and now!!

I agree, but people actually read papers and watched the news back then!

It's scares me to think what may happen. I am a Carer for my mum who has copd and I have health issues too. Currently on ESA with a carers premium, but have a wca at atos on the 18th ( oh the joy ). I am skint as it is, I can't afford to lose a penny, but have a feeling I will.

Roll on Election Day

Goverment have not taken into account inpact of daft taxe's on everyones lives .. But there no expence spared when it comes to war or invasions ... Only ones i have seen benefit is oil giants ... Its not like we get cheap oil but thay go on about reforms but when it comes to house of lords or mps buck dosn't stop there :O

15 of these things at last count??????????????????
