I can raise a few billion more than the value of the assets blinky is going to sell.
1.) Working tax credits. Its your choice to have a child, you should bear the burdon.
2.) £192 at 26 weeks to buy healthy food. No its not, its a bribe for the scum of society to buy their vote.
There, that should do it. Oh and pay all benefits in stamps/vouchers. That will incentivise people to work. Its a human right to food and water, not to free cash to spend on what you wish. Vouchers are a simple solution.
Oh and rather than wasting tax payers money by deporting Iraqi's back to Iraq, then flying them back with Iraq refuses to accept them. Just dump them there. They are Iraqi nationals not ours so why fly them back and then ask the Iraqi's. Just drop em off. Problem solved.

Perhaps they could call a halt to the future jobs fund (Buying votes from the hopeless) too. Should save a couple of billion.1.) Working tax credits. Its your choice to have a child, you should bear the burdon.

Vouchers are NOT a solution, as the doleites just go down to the corner shop and buy fags and beer with them. California does it better, the doleites get a (credit)card which they swipe which pays ONLY for food (no soap, fags, loopaper or anything else). The check is easy as the supermarket ONLY gets paid on what is on the till receipt that is food... no swindles, no fag-smoking beer-swilling fatty doleites at state cost!
Mind you that is just tooo easy for the current bunch of twunts who are running the country.........
So those proposing the voucher option, how exactly does this work?
Which stores will participate?
Who will pay for the software and infrastructure changes to stores to enable this?
What about small shops, or should only big, multi-site retailers benefit?
And what items do you allow for purchase? Food? What kind? Medicine? Household cleaning products?
How would you prevent fraud taking place with stolen/copied vouchers?
How would vouchers be handled, would you employ an army of people somewhere to re-imburse the retailers? And if so, wouldn't this cost more money.
And most of all....... how on earth does this actually save any money?

benefit payment card similar to a debit card (have seen pensioners in the post office with something similar)with benefits automaticaly credited, could be run by one of the now government owned banks, accepted at all supermarkets signed up to the scheme, only accepted on purchases of non VAT qualifying goods, costs associated with accepting the cards paid for by the supermarkets (can you see any NOT wanting to have almost guaranteed foot fall increases) yes I know there are several flaws, but it's just an idea on how it could be run.Which stores will participate?
