@AndyLondon7 when state spending goes down the poor always lose more than rich cos the poor receive more state spending. Simple. - 1 more reply

@JuliaHB1 true but implemented alongside personal allowance increase is cutting from poor to give to rich? -
@SarahAlexandraH yes, but that isn't what the graph is showing -

@JuliaHB1 Isn't it remarkable that the top decile lose anything at all from benefit cuts?@TorstenBell -
@colinwforster@TorstenBell I think it's absurd that anyone in the top 6 deciles gets any benefits at all -
@JuliaHB1@colinwforster@TorstenBell exactly. Talk about a client state. Brown at his most pernicious.

@JuliaHB1@richardcalhoun (on a sliding scale) which is, after all, what Tories stand for & what they always do. By all means argue this... -
@Schroedinger99@JuliaHB1@richardcalhoun so how much did they raise the threshold before you pay tax? -
@panlidsid@JuliaHB1@richardcalhoun And if we are going to personalize this, I've done rather well out of this gov, but I have a conscience -
@Schroedinger99@JuliaHB1@richardcalhoun So vote for labour but since they were going to do it as well I'm sure you wouldn't have piped up. -
@panlidsid@JuliaHB1@richardcalhoun I criticize injustice without fear or favour whichever party pursues or promotes it. -
@Schroedinger99@JuliaHB1@richardcalhoun what's your take on Islam then? -
@panlidsid@JuliaHB1@richardcalhoun It has the same faults as every other religion & several specific faults of its own. -
@Schroedinger99@panlidsid@JuliaHB1@richardcalhoun cop out. It has no place in modern Britain is the right answer. - 4 more replies
