Hi - can I be blunt? I don't think the government gives a 2nd thought for carers or anyone who is not in employment, unless they happen to be pensioners then they are exempt from some of the punitive measures which have been introduced, such as the bedroom tax. Other measures, of course, they are not immune from, such as being a carer. As far as I can see anyone who claims any kind of benefit, whether it be carer's allowance, dla, job seekers allowance, esa, etc etc is regarded as a drain on the economy. As has already be pointed out, the bankers have got off very lightly and the ordinary person is paying for their mistakes year on year as cuts to vital services get more and more extreme. I don't think that perspective of theirs is going to change at all. Ian D Smith sd something recently about his policies changing the lives of those at the bottom radically (not the exact quote). Well, yes, but in a good way?? Even Archbishops are getting upset about how certain groups of people are being treated. Most people are not scroungers, but anyone claiming benefits has been stereotyped this way. I'll vote for the party which wants to bring some genuine fairness back but unfortunately none of them have impressed me in that regard so far.
