i suggest you check out who makes the laws in this country-i think you will find it is in the house of commons,by elected MP's,not "people like him".
and as for "yes it is wrong. Why should the rest of taxpayers support your shortfall? what next? is it the same for people stealing from their employers, selling drugs, stealing your car?"
well i correct me if i'm wrong but isnt stealing from my employers,(even though i've just told you i'm self employed)selling drugs,and stealing cars against the law?
what shortfall?
how dare you accuse me of not paying my way?

as self employed(i'm a subcontractor) i dont have the benefit of holiday or sick pay,and can be laid off at the drop of a hat!!
futhermore,as for you working with disabled children,well yes you may be having to cope with cuts,arent we all?
try coping with cuts personally-one of my step sons has A typical autistism,with oppositional defiance dysorder ,and adhd thrown in for good measure,and every day is a struggle-try walking a mile in my shoes before judging me!!-what has cuts to do with ashcroft-cuts have to do with the global recession,and the last government badly spending our money FFS!!
i suggest you get your facts straight before you accuse me of letting "taxpayers support my shortfall"

I am not bothered about my cuts, I haven't had a pay rise in fours years, what bothers me is the kids I see suffering every day because of this governments blatant abuse of those least able to defend themselves. In the same week they slashed 776million from Support services because it was 'unsustainable' they gave a tax cut to millionaires worth 772m. How do they sleep at night. I wasn't trying to have go at you, and if it came across that way I apologise. I do get very frustrated by the 'you would do the same in their shoes' argument as the answer is very DEFINATELY no I wouldn't. Anyway I think we have high jacked this thread enough, perhaps a poll on who loves/ hates Ashcroft on off topic banter ;-) but please don't take offence as none was meant.

That is one thing I don't think anyone could disagree with! So why do I keep watching it? Perhaps it's genius on the part of channel 5, make a program so bad people will be annoyed into watching it just to see how bad it is.
