What a bloody cheek this Tory Boy has for accusing Lambeth Council of wasting public money, what about all the bloody money the Tory’s have used to spin lies about so-called ”Benefit Scroungers” or Fraudulent Disabled people not really being disabled, this bloke is a complete arsehole….
A government minister today slammed the ‘lazy socialism’ of a Labour-run council using taxpayer’s money to run posters attacking benefit cuts.
Lambeth council has been condemned for its campaign, which dares to suggest that people living on welfare ‘may have to find work’ to make up for the shortfall in state handouts.
Tory local government minister Brandon Lewis said the authority had been ‘caught-red handed systematically misusing public funds’.
One poster which has sprung up across South London features a huge pair of scissors and declares: ‘On benefit? The government are making cuts. If you are on benefit you have may less money from April.
‘It is important you get advice now. Lambeth Council can help you.’
A section of the council’s website dedicated to criticising government cuts to benefits adds: ‘If you claim benefits, it is likely you will receive less and may have to find work or move to a different property.’
From April, no household will be able to receive more than £26,000 in benefits – the average family income.
Housing benefit rules are being changed so claimants will not receive full help with council tax bills if they have unoccupied bedrooms and many benefits will rise by only one per cent.
But ministers condemned the use of public money to criticise government spending cuts.
Mr Lewis said: ‘Lambeth have once again been caught-red handed systematically misusing public funds.
‘The money wasted on this scare campaign could have been spent on protecting frontline services,’ he told the Standard.
