ConDems Attack Children.

 Dozy Dave and Lying Nick have decided to scrap universal Child Benefits a system first introduced in 1946 (as Child Allowance) to ensure that state money was available to support every child in the land. It is clearly a decision taken in haste and as such not thought through to the extent that a couple earning a total income of £80,000 per annum continue to receive the benefit whereas a single parent earning in excess of £44,000 will lose it. The announcement was aided and abetted by the grotesque sight of  him holding his new born baby in his arms at the Tories conference in Birmingham.

 This follows the earlier announcement that they were also scrapping the £250 of savings given to each child when they were born for use when they reached the age of 18. They just don't get it do they - the benefit was paid to the mother to use for her children.

 So they have started with the children and will soon move on to the sick, the elderly, the disabled and the unemployed. Naked red blooded conservatism who start where even Thacher would not tread. Be afraid be very afraid
