Helping those with significant needs

"The budget was making savings, but much of the money would be spent on people with significant needs." Anna Soubry Barrister and Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Broxtowe writing in the Nottingham Evening Post


To most it would seem odd how increasing home help charges, doing away with welfare advice and scrapping dial a ride amongst the other drastic cutts I listed here can help those with significant needs. Those who it has so far helped are people like this, what are their significant needs?

Bruce Laughton with his £157,000 subsidy from the EC, a nice cabinet post and a new Porsche


Kay Cutts with her manor house and horse paddock in Normanton on the Wolds and other land on which she plans to save ££thousands over the next few years by freezing Council Tax, not to mention her plush refurbished office in County Hall.

The second hand car dealers throughout the County who will benefit hugely once the Conservative transport policies to reduce dependence on public transport are fully realised.

Councillor Jackson with his portfolio of rented houses, each paying council tax.

Councillor Adair who was seen being wined and dined by a Scottish property developer on Armistice day.

Or the 90 year old in North Notts who faces a 36% increase in her home help charges of over £41/week as featured on the BBC yesterday who cant afford to pay it and may be forced to give up her home because of the CUTTS. Ironically enough Kay Cutts was quizzed about this "said well she can claim more benefits and can call our help line" which she then had to admit she was closing. Perhaps the lady should contact Laughton he knows all about claiming benefit from the EU.

As they say on the planet Vogon - you gets what you votes for.
