We care because its morally wrong,that its like spitting in the face of a public where millions of people are scared to put the heating on,6 thousand £ for his second home(estate soz)! Focussing only on the positives would mean every bad or wrong thing in the world going unnoticed/unchallenged ,thats apathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulv Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 And we care because???Lots of things are'nt fair in this world,but maybe you should try focussing on the positives? I care because my tax is being used to pay for the heating of the second homes of people who already earn around twice the average uk wage, get massive pensions, and royally trounce upon the people they are elected to represent. If free speech ain't your thing there are other places you could go to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skani Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 And we care because???Lots of things are'nt fair in this world,but maybe you should try focussing on the positives? We care because it's unethical, dishonest, rorting and exploitative. By all means ignore it and "focus on the positives" if you wish. That's exactly how the greedy and evil gain power.

Guest51810 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Theres a huge difference between being aware of these things and wanting it to stop than just being negative about everything. As others have said - if people sit back and just say there are worse things happening then people will continue to get away with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramac Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 And we care because???Lots of things are'nt fair in this world,but maybe you should try focussing on the positives? We care because we're constantly being told there's no money to pay for schools, the NHS, or to give benefits to the disabled. Budgets have been cut to charities who support the most vulnerable people. Posts in schools and hospitals have been lost which impacts again on those who have the least power in society and yet there is money slushing around to pay for whatever MPs see fit to take, including IDS's pants! https://mobile.twitter.com/shirleykay11/status/396409877255716864/photo/1?screen_name=shirleykay11 We could bury our heads in the sand and let them get away with it unchallenged I suppose, but I guess in grates more than a little with those of us who have a social conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of things aren't fair in this world!! What a strange thing to say "thats just the upper class kids don't question them because there just better than us" You can bury you head in the sand for so long but sooner or later you have to voice an opinion!

garyupnorth Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 At the end of the day no matter where they live in the world or which country they lead, they all pee in the same pot and make the rules to suit, it's been going on for years...

kungfustu Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I care because my tax is being used to pay for the heating of the second homes of people who already earn around twice the average uk wage, get massive pensions, and royally trounce upon the people they are elected to represent. If free speech ain't your thing there are other places you could go to... If the UK government/system aint your thing.....theres lots of other places you could go.....you could always try Australia?

kungfustu Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Whilst MP's tell us plebs to stick on another jumper if we are too cold and can't afford to heat our homes, the same MP's claim their fuel bills back for their SECOND homes. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/energy/10423252/340-MPs-claim-200000-on-expenses-for-energy-bills.html yes isn't it just outrageous......you plebs love a bit of outrage......if you cant get angry and all foamy at the mouth then whats the point really?
