The £11bn welfare cuts, rise in VAT to 20%, and 25% reductions across government departments target the most vulnerable – disabled people, single parents, those on housing benefit, black and other ethnic minority communities, students, migrant workers, LGBT people and pensioners.
What I'm wondering is in what sense the budgets targets LGBT people, if anyone knows please let me know in the comments. Come to that if anyone knows how black and other enthnic minority communities are especially affected then feel free to elaborate.

By some bizarre twisted logic, they face unfair discrimination in being deprived of money they were originally singled out to receive.
A most usefull list of who to cull first, methinks.

Entitlement in action.
'The usual suspects' = the usual shower of NUS timeservers, public sector troughers, unfunny comedians (Arthur Smith, Mark Steel),diversicrats (David Weaver, Trevor Phillips- being very modest in just calling himself a 'campaigner'!), and old lefties who I thought were dead (Alan Thornett- what 70s memories that name evokes!).
What Macheath said.
