Left or right winged, is extreme. I genuinely believe that honest people with real needs.. need support.
Unfortunately, from experience I know too many people who abuse the system designed to help.
For example: I once had a couple who wanted to invest their money... around £50,000. Neither one had worked in over 20 years. The wife was a carer for the husband, who in turn was a carer for the son who suffered from Attention Deficit Disorder. What really surprised me was that this families household income was greater than mine and my wife's and we both had respectable jobs as a financial advisor and teacher!. I could highlight other examples too. It's a shame because I do believe that there are folk who need help but when the country try to address it, it is the genuine folk who actually suffer.
I was born in a time where life needs were greater than wants.
I look at some people who are classified as vulnerable and genuinely believe that a smart phone and flat screen TV is a life necessity!. This is just my view...
