It does seem to me that there has been a hell of a lot of Tories over the years they have been in power taking financial advantage of their positions. More so in recent years than ever before.
To me, the Tories appear to have a "What's in it for us?" mentality and don't have a good record of looking after those of the population that are in need of financial assistance.
Comments from various Tories over the years (the ones that spring to my mind being the recent cheese sandwich jibe and the 33p a meal budget) reveal the nasty uncaring attitude.
These comments come from Government members who wouldn't have the first clue about juggling a miniscule budget and don't know the cost of food or the fuel to cook it; people who to all intents and purposes look like they really don't care about the struggles people in the real world face.
And before someone mentions "Everyone I know on benefits smokes and drinks to their heart's content, has a brand new Beemer on the drive, Sky TV and has 4 overseas holidays every year....", can you quote the actual percentage figure of people who play the benefits system VS the vast majority of benefit claimants who are genuinely in poverty and utterly desperate: desperate yet so proud they do not want to visit foodbanks and other places for assistance?
What is perverse to me is that the ruthless Tories are denying genuinely needy people Government assistance, yet are first in the queue when there's an opportunity to use their position to dip into the coffers and make money for themselves.
