John, you and I know that Mancie and his sidekick believe that everything the Labour governments did whilst in office was hunky dory.....he knows that in the past you were a conservative supporter....it doesn't matter what you are now Mancie and his scottish sidekick cannot see past that.

Common sense dictates, that the state cannot afford to continue paying the spiralling costs of benefits. Frank Field (a Labour MP, no less),recognised this. It might have been a decade ago......it was a long time anyway. And here we are with nothing done.

Why? Because no political party will take the initiative to carry out a radical overhaul.

Benefits have always been a hot potato - no political party wants to tackle it. They tinker around the edges hoping it will placate the electorate and then they leave decisive(difficult, unpopular) decisions to be made by someone else.

Mancie believes that we all must be blinded by political spin, and we must all be led by the nose by our political dogmas.
I have no political dogmas. I follow my own core values. So shoot me for it.
