But what you quoted of mine is true, we flogged our national industries and let our manurfactoring base dwindle, that is our fault not europes
The EU had the plan of dividing up europe along the lines of Germany getting heavy engineering/chemicals/car manufacturing, France agriculture, Spain and co fishing, with the rest providing cheap labour/customers, we got financial services and a few other crumbs.
It is the politicians that went along with this, but it was the EU that empowered it.
You are assuming that cuts to benefits is where the burden should lie.How would you suggest you cut the benefits of people NOT on benefits?
Better off people don't get money spent on them (other than the NHS), so spending cuts necessarily fall on the poorest, don't they? How do you cut spending, without impacting poor people?
But the real burden should be born by the strongest, and taxation is the surest way to cut spending.
Dear me. See net spend, deficit, etc.Run that by me again? How do you cut spending by taxation?

Plenty of candidates other than the poorest, but if you want to cut benefits, how about those couples earning 40, 000 plus who can claim family income supplement. I myself am entitled to disability living allowance merely because I need a handle to get out of the bath and sometimes walk with a stick, but I woulnt say I was disabled.
But the real burden should be born by the strongest, and taxation is the surest way to cut spending.
Dont call me a bullshitter. I was advised some years ago, when my condition was diagnosed (I could not actually walk at the time) to apply for DLA, and was told that certain difficulties or needs (such as I quoted) were used as evidence.As an expert on PIP and it’s application rules (DLA was abolished years ago) would you please tell me what level of PIP you get and in which category and where you went for your mandatory PIP interview?
Because what you describe would not qualify you for either DLA and certainly not it’s replacement PIP.
Or are you a “I could get it but I don’t” bullshitter?
