Are the people mad about the Tories winning just angry because they can't scrounge of the government anymore?

They're very angry, they'll actually have to work for a living now, no more sitting around playing Xbox, oh the horror.

    Yep, and they've five years of being mad to look forward to. Best of all, with each new parliament the centre shifts a bit further to the right so what seems draconian now will be perfectly reasonable in another 5 years.

    It seems hard to believe now but in the eighties Labour still believed in digging coal and selling it at an artificially low price whilst paying an artificially high wage to miners.

    That's another moral argument they lost. Quelle surprise.

    I'm despondent about it because it shows that apart from the backbone of the country (London and NE England) we're a country of dimwits who like being stolen from. It's sad to see. Don't to be too upset in a few years time when it turns out loads of people are still on benefits.

    Maybe they're angry at being stereotyped by the Tory supporters two days after the result before they're even sworn in.

    They must really actually believe that 62% the British population are chavs.

    Yes it would appear so especially by the answers on this site. One of my neighbours was moaning that they will have to get jobs. Boo Hoo. I found it hard not to let them see the smirk on my face. They have plasma TVs, not just one, latest laptops, tablets etc etc which is more than I can afford.

    It's about time these people were made to work even if it's cleaning their neighbourhood. No work, no money should be the motto of this country.

    You do know they are 4 people chasing every job vacancy? You do know that unemployment figures are fiddled to count only certain groups as unemployed, when the actual unemployment figure is much higher? You do know that most unemployed people hate being unemployed? You do know that docu-soaps like Benefits Street are a scripted con? Don't you think you should consider those issues and many others before you type such tripe?

    You see the trick is to buy the X-boxes, flat screen tvs, iPhones and computers, etc when you have a job, that is if you have a job where you can actually afford this stuff. Then when you lose yours, you still have all this stuff to play about with after you’ve spent all day looking for a job that going to pay you just enough to actually get you to work or to put food in your mouth. I know you won’t have worked that out for yourself if you voted Tory but anyway … that’s how they do it. There’s no mystery.

    The Tories’ £12bn of welfare cuts could come back to haunt them

    Sorry i just checked and it appears the house of lords is still there, as is the royal family and numerous other lords and viscount gits who've never done a days work in their life.

    In other words, stop pretending your giving people a much needed boot up the backside to snap them into shape, your only doing it to the under and working class, because your a massive crook and a coward.

    lol, what work.

    Standard economic theory requires that there are a certain number of unemployed people in order to keep wages down, they are the stick used to beat the employed so they are scared of being unemployed and will work for lower wages. Once wages have reduced far enough that unemployment no longer seems so unattractive you have to beat up on the unemployed people some more and lower their benefits to the point that unemployment once again seems like a bad idea, then you can use the new improved stick to beat the employed again and force them to accept still lower wages.

    So where is this work then?

    A government with a majority of 10 instead of the 70 they had last time with the Lib Dems is in no position to impose draconian cuts anyway.

    You really are a thick moron and cvnt of the highest order. As clueless about politics as you are football. Also, your original statement was a straw man full of nonsense. People have died under this Tory government because of their victimisation of the poor, more will die, yet you stereotype everyone as benefit scroungers. You are a complete c o ck of the highest order. You disgusting parasite.
