Say no to health funding cuts!


UK Prime Minister David Cameron slammed the Department of Health for almost doubling the number of managers in the NHS - and the Department of Work and Pensions for "increasing benefit spending by more than £20 billion and giving some families as much as £93,000 in housing benefit every year" - and, while applauding spending cuts, Allegra worries that the new government's austerity measure may hit the poor, sick and elderly the hardest.

"I am totally opposed to the NHS budget being cut," says Allegra. "With all of its faults, including bloated management, the UK has the best health system in the world and those who want private treatment can already get it."

"On other welfare benefits, especially those given to migrants, I am all in favor of cuts," says Allegra. "You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see that the country is full and we should not be encouraging, let alone assisting with benefits, any sort of immigration – and I am particularly annoyed that the government wastes our money churning out pamphlets for Government services in every conceivable language for the benefit of foreigners.”

"Housing benefits are a real scam and should not be allowed," says Allegra. "If people cannot afford children, they should not be having them – abortion is available and free. It is ludicrous to expect the public purse to pay for the housing, and all the other claims that these parasitic families make.”

"Unemployment benefits need to be based on the American model - three months and then you are required to take any job you are capable of doing," says Allegra. "There should be no shame attached to stacking shelves, flipping burgers, sweeping the streets or doing domestic service, and the government should require that employers give these jobs first to jobseekers on the dole, not to transient foreigners."

“It’s pretty well known that some people actually commit crimes just to be sent to our plushy prisons,” says Allegra, “and this must be discouraged by turning prisons back into the work houses they once were. Some of our pensioners cannot afford televisions, telephones, central heating and three square meals a day, so why should criminals get them? Put them in chain gangs like the Americans do and make them work!”

“And talking about pensioners, I believe benefits should be means tested,” says Allegra. “Public transport tickets and winter fuel allowance should not be given to people over 60 who are perfectly capable of paying their own way and may be living overseas in any case!”

"But say no to NHS funding cuts!"
