Tories will teach four thousand five hundred Rugby employees to work as hard as the Chinese
More astonishing scenes from the Conservative Conference in Manchester.
Health Minister Jeremy Hunt has revealed why the government is cutting the take home pay of four thousand five hundred workers in Rugby. They must be taught how to work as hard as the Chinese - for the full story read http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34447916.
We first broke the news about the large numbers of Rugby workers who the tories were targeting in July - see http://rugby.lib.dm/a0ZBv .
Liberal Democrats voted against these cuts in Parliament - see http://www.libdems.org.uk/tim_farron_savages_labour_tories_over_welfare_bill . The Labour Party could not make their mind up whether to support or oppose these measures and abstained - see http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/21/labour-disarray-welfare-48-mps-defy-whips . This is odd as the policy is so right wing even the billionaire Rupert Murdoch has reservations about it - see http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/politics/6674334/Government-tax-credit-cuts-to-affect-three-million-Brits.html .
