Duggie we aren’t creating austerity at all. No idea why you would think that?
If that were the case the government would close pip and the scheme tomorrow.
I qualify for help and without it life would be harder. But grateful is the wrong word. I’d much rather not need it and be made healthy again, then I’d be grateful.
We cant all have the same opinions, that I respect, but the implication we should some how all feel like we are a burden on the country and other tax payers and should all be grateful is just wrong.
I choose how or what I spend pip on and don’t feel grateful to anyone when I do.
It doesn’t matter either way but i still work and pay income tax, I have done since I was 15 some 50 plus years later.
Then I have 4 kids, we brought up who all also pay a lot in taxes.
