Millionaires & Food banks

This evening I got a tweet from Barclays Wealth Managemen with this picture saying "Our latest #ProsperityMap finds that the UK millionaire population grew by 7.6% year-on-year, up to 625,000".

I replied "and 8% of UK adults don't have enough money for food. What a disgrace" and linked to this article below on UK food banks.

During Christmas dinner, Nigel said a firm "No!" to brussels.

Brilliant. We need more of this stuff to help expose this Tory Front of hate Johnny Foreigners (but happy to employ and exploit them on their farms and factories) Multimillionaire speculators and tax evaders.

Farage is not the sort of bloke you really want to have a beer with because he actually wants to get rid of any employment protection you have at work and then reduce your wages here to those you would find in China.

That's after all, how he made his money.

Tory Millionaires Day 6 April 2013

Are we really all in this together?

FACT This Tory/LibDem government is planing to cut the top rate tax band on April 6th.

It is estimated that 13,000 millionaires in this country will be £100,000 better off (I can't verify this but believe it to be accurate).

FACT This will happen at the same time that many millions of ordinary workers are facing yet another year of pay cuts?

FACT One rule for the rich and powerful in this country and another for everyone else?

Help Mums not Millionaires

"Happy Mothers Day!

This morning a group of mums went to Downing Street with a simple message: This Mothers Day David Cameron should help Mums not Millionaires.

In April David Cameron is handing a £100,000 tax cut to millionaires, while imposing a £180 “Mummy Tax” with real term cuts in maternity pay, taking money out of the pockets of mums, at a time when family budgets are already being squeezed.

This is another example of David Cameron failing in his pledge to lead “the most family friendly government ever”. He would rather cut taxes for millionaires than for families.

You can still support our campaign to help mums, not millionaires: http://bit.ly/Zu3B7m "

Tell David Cameron to drop the Bedroom Tax...

"From April 13,000 millionaires are getting a tax cut worth £100,000 a year on average while over 600,000 households - including armed forces families, disabled people and foster carers - have to find £728 a year to pay a new bedroom tax.

This isn’t about tough choices, it’s about the wrong choices.

Join our campaign and tell David Cameron to stop the Bedroom Tax".

UNISON Community District Nurses out there serving the public

Great pictures from Captain Swing of London Community district nurses struggling through the snow on Friday to visit their patients.

This Tory coalition think that such public servants should have their wages cut and cut while at the same time reducing taxes for millionaires?

Something fundamentally wrong here I think?
