Not for those in Yorkshire, for 500 families who live local to Goldthorpe and are on benefits. Coming to a high street near you.

An interesting development. For example sourcing bread that had been wrongly labelled/packaged.

Good idea for those struggling but a sad indictment of the modern age.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Wow! They'll be like Costco soon!!! 

[Figureman52]

Seems like the usual way in this country now.

The rich are OK

The ones on benefits are OK

Those in the middle who have a financial hiccup are kicked back down into the gutter.

Yes, although I don't begrudge anyone a bit of food, it is a bit bottom heavy these days.
When the tax allowance goes up to £10,000 next year, the 40% rate will kick in at about £31,000.

That'll be a whole load more on 40% then .......

Yeah. Nick Clegg wants to give it to the 'poor', not the rich bastards who earn £35K.

[Rods2]

Well in some cases they do have a point when they say then can spend it much better than the taxpayers they legally rob it from. They are chauffeured around in Jaguars, you drive a Daewoo.

High rate tax was meant for the rich. Too many other ordinary workers paying it as the threshold doesn't go up with wages.

£31k isn't exactly a King's Ransom and I'm sure that the properly wealthy will have clever accountants advising them on tax avoidance.
