COULD Britain end up suffering riots similar to those suffered in Greece this last week or so?

Rather than commit to ending the money-for-nothing culture, why isn’t our Government committed to ending the money-for-drugs culture?

Do plans to hound “cash-in-the-hand” workers include drug dealers “earning” £1,000 per day, and shoplifters “earning” £1, 000 a week to buy drugs?

And what’s the difference between a poor man earning a few quid tax free and the rich man living the best part of an extravagant lifestyle on tax free expenses, as do some politicians?

Furthermore, if the authorities can hound decent people through the courts for supposed overpaid tax credits — where no mistake, let alone crime, has been committed by the tax credit recipient — then why aren’t criminals being hounded in the same way? Never to be let off the hook.

One poor woman, no longer claiming tax credits, has supposedly been overpaid by £4,500 — presently more than half her annual income — and after taking every moral and legal step available to her to challenge it, she has now been given 12 months to pay it back. A totally devastating, if not life threatening blow, is this not?

If the Government doesn’t want a winter of discontent, hadn’t they better change their ways?

Stop bullying the poor and disadvantaged!
