what do they need wages for if every living expence is claimable?
£700 for 2 jags to have his toilet seat fixed twice? £16000 on food?
and even the party leaders all have their snouts in the trough and are now appologising. they werent sorry when they were taking the money. why do they think that no matter how low they go saying sorry makes it alright?

im on 15k before tax and am skint but dont live to badly as im still at home with parents!
got 2 cars and spend far too much on crap but its only money at end of the day, cant take it with you.
if i was on couple k more before tax i could afford my own place and wouldnt spend it on crap tho.

hi all,
as fuzzy said before the more you earn the more you spend, i take home 500 per week as a construction site manager and still find it hard to tax and put petrol in the cossie!
mp's make me sick when everyone has to struggle on what they get. arrrrrrrrrgh. rant over!

whats it nowadays...£2.05 a week NI self employed? i pay that monthly direct debit so i notice it even less.
you must be about £375 top line and £19500 if you have no holidays? how old are you? thats less than £10 an hour. thats low for a joiner.
