News UK general election 2015 discussion
- Thread starter Second Summer
- Start date
And so it begins ..." Let them eat cake" eh?
I hate the way David Cameron paraded his new cabinet as if to say "Look how inclusive we are, we even have a few women there."
The new Equalities minister, Caroline Dinenage, voted against same sex marriage in 2013. You couldn't make it up.

I was expecting the summer budget to be worse than it was but it still kept to the Tory theme of protecting high earners and pensioners and punishing lower earners and young people. Budget calculator: How will the Budget affect you? - BBC News

I just came to this thread to post that article - it made me laugh too, but then I got sad because it's kind of accurate and that budget is bullcrap.
I have thought for a while that a lot of people in the UK under the age of 35 have really been screwed but the new budget has really cemented it for me. It might be okay in principle to say that young people should be earning money or studying and not end up languishing on benefits but not every young person has the same opportunities. Young people of 18-21 with a troubled and abusive background will really be hit hard by the way housing benefit may be taken away from them if they want to leave home.
I think that some people may have voted Conservative as they have been fooled by the whole "Hard working families" crap they were pushing before the election and now have had cold water thrown on them as they must realise that Tories thought that tax credits were the obvious way of cutting the welfare bill.
