WILL THE GOVERNMENT EVERY LEARN THAT PEOPLE CANNOT BE CONSTANTLY PUSHED FURTHER AND FURTHER OVER THE LIMIT! WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AND WE SHOULD ALL DO OUR PART - RICH AND POOR ALIKE - MAYBE THE GOVERNMENT WILL LOOK AT POLICY DECISIONS AT LOOK TO ALL OF US TO TAKE UP THE SLACK NOT JUST A FEW!

WE ALL NEED AND HAVE A RIGHT TO A CERTAIN STANDARD OF LIVING - IS IT UNFAIR TO WANT TO HAVE WORK, A WARM SAFE HOME AND GENUINE ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP? WHY IS IT STILL A LUXURY FOR SO FEW OF US?

THE INCREASE ON VAT - 20% - WHY NOT 50%? HOW CAN WE BE MADE TO GIVE WHAT WE HAVEN'T GOT?

TARGETING THE DISABLED IS A TRAVESTY AGAINST FAIRNESS AND SOCIAL JUSTICE, WILL CLAIMANTS NEW AND EXISTING BEING ASSESSED BEFORE 2013 HAVE TO FACE A FURTHER MEDICAL ASSESSMENT? THIS IS A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE DETAILING YOUR DISABILITIES AND MOBILIY/MENTAL RESTRICTIONS - WHY ALWAYS LOOK AT THIS GROUP FIRST - COULD THE GOVERNMENT REDUCE CHILD BENEFIT ENTITLEMENT TO THE WEALTHY - SAY OVER ?100,000 INSTEAD - I REMEMBER PRINCESS DIANA SAYS THAT EVEN SHE WAS ENTITLED TO THIS PAYMENT WHICH SHE GAVE TO CHARITY!!!

________________________________________________________________________
WELFARE TO WORK CHANGES - WHY IS THE COALITION LOOKING AT SUCH VULNERABLE GROUPS FIRST? I THOUGHT THEY SAID PRE-ELECTION THEY WOULD TARGET NEW CLAIMANTS NOW ITS ALL CLAIMANTS[ VERY POOR SHOW!!! I HOPE THE POWERS THAT BE WITH LOOK AT NOT JUST IF CLAIMANTS ARE CAPABLE OF WORKING BUT WHERE YOU CAN SUSTAIN IT. DISABILITIES OFTEN DETERIORATE OVER TIME AND WORK IS NOT THE BEST ENVIRONMENT WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY DEMANDS ON WHAT WORKERS ARE EXPECTS TO DO. rant over:-________________________________________________________________________
HELLO ALL, I'M ABBIE AND JUST BECOME A LD MEMBER.
I AM ENJOYING READING ABOUT ALL YOU GUYS AND WHY YOU ARE LD'S.

I AM VERY LUCKY AS I LIVE IN ORKNEY, WHICH AS BEEN LD FOR YEARS AND WE HAVE THE BEST MP IN ALISTAIR CARMICHAEL AND MSP, LIAM MCARTHUR. THEY ARE BOTH REALLY COOL AND REALLY DO A LOT OF GOOD HERE, WHICH IS NOT TYPICALLY I FAIR OF MANY POLITICIANS.

I AM A HONOURS GRAD IN SOCIAL POLICY AND CRIMINOLOGY - MY MAIN POLICY INTERESTS ARE SOCIAL INCLUSION, MINORITY/IMMIGRATE INTEGRATION AND ELDERLY ISSUE. I HOPE THAT I CAN USE THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS I HAVE BUILT UP TO HELP THE PARTY UNDERSTAND THE REAL NEEDS OF VULNERABLE GROUPS AND HOW THEIR PROTECTION CAN HELP PROMOTE THEIR INCLUSION IN OUR SOCIETY AND GIVE THEM THE SUPPORT AND CONFIDENCE TO ENTER AND SUSTAIN THEMSELVES AS WORKERS WITHIN OUR ECONOMY . LECTURE OVER - HA HA!

IF I HAVENT BORED YOU TOO MUCH WITH MY RAMBLING - I HOPE YOU WILL SEND ME A MESSAGE AND LET ME KNOW ABOUT YOU AND WHY THE LD'S ARE SO AWESOME.

BYE FOR NOW.

LOVE

ABBIE.
