    Anyone got an idea how much the dole will be cut in this new budget in April? Im fairly pissed off about it, cant really afford it to drop. At the moment I can just about manage one night out a week and maybe a few cans on wed/thur. Its gonna be goodbye to a lot of peoples socail life if they cut it too much. Especially since ive been having a bad run on the horses the last few weeks, this counldnt come at a worse possible time. Maybe people should organise a protest about it?

    It's a crap economic situation all in all. Whatever thel answer is, it's not gonna be good.

    I'd say 180 though. As a guess

    Although I haven't been watching closely.

    They should give out free cans to the unemployed, or drink vouchers of

    Not so much taking the piss, more unhooking the toiletbowl and walking off down the street.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Don't care as long as it's cut for all of those who aren't actively seeking employment. Not including disabled etc., obviously.

    They should make everyone work for the dole.

    How long would it take to finish the M50 if there were an extra 300,000 people working on it?
