Child Benefits

Firstly, I am not going into the ins and outs of the changes to child benefits - I really just want to talk about the fact that until recently everyone was entitled to child benefit, regardless of their salary. To me, this is the reason our welfare system is in the state it is. I was shocked to learn that people earning more than £50,000 per annum were claiming child benefits! To me, this is wealthy people taking money out of the mouths of the poor. Because of this flagrant abuse of the benefit system cuts have had to be made across the board. This could be part of the reason several people with disabilities have killed themselves or starved to death!

If you have read any of my other posts you will see that I dislike the tories with a passion - and that's putting it lightly. However, I am shocked and disgusted that a Labour government would have allowed this policy to continue, and have the nerve to say the tories are pandering to the rich when they did the exact same!

To be honest, I think the £50,000 cap is too high. Anyone earning more than £45,000 doesn't need child benefits and i9f they do they are doing something very wrong!

The new policy means that anyone earning more than £50,000 needs to opt out of benefits or they will be required to pay it back at a later date. I think those who earn this and above should be made to pay back any benefits they earned in the last 10 years to make up for robbing the welfare system of its much needed money!

On another note, I have written 3 books. 2 are part of a series set in Scoltand about the Sidhe, fairy folk. Available on kindle and in paperback:

The Island of the Mist is book 2

The Stone in the Sword is book 1

The 3rd book is an adult, sexy witchy werewolf/vampire story set in New York and featuring a strong female lead character, again available in kindle and paperback formats:

Tax avoiders in big business

The overnmen are trying to cut the deficit by bleeding the poor dry, crippling those most in need and making them out to be criminals rather than tackling big business tax dodgers.

If anyone has been watching The Revolution Will be Televised on BBC3 (available on IPlayer), you will be aware of the fact that certain companies are making hundreds of millions in the UK but avoid taxes by putting ter offices in other countries, such as Switzerland etc.

These companies include Apple - a company that pays pennies to havetheir products made in China and charges hundreds of pounds in the UK (and elsewhere) to custom. Their profits are astrnomical!

I was surpised to learn that Boots the Chemist was also in his group of cmpanies that leech from the British public and do not give back. I have therefore stopped buying fom Boots and will not buy anoher apple product until tis is rectified.

These companies, and many others, should be charged with tax avoidance and billed. The figure given in the above show for both compnies was smethng in the region of £100,000,000. That wouldo quite a way to helpin bringhe economy in the UK back into balance.

The Government and Money - Libya

So we are being told that we all need to tighten our belts, that there have to be cuts in benefits because the government cannot afford to pay out money, that they must raise taxes, especially fuel taxes, because they have no money, they have a deficit left over from the previous government etc etc.

And we are currently sending our air force over to Libya - costing millions of pounds.

I'm sorry, where exactly did this money come from? If you can afford to put your nose in where it does not belong, you can afford to drop the price of fuel, food and a whole range of other essentials.

Get it right, Cameron.
