OSBORNE AXE FALLS ON THE POOR AND SICK

"George Osborne claims sweeping cuts will take the country back from the brink of bankruptcy. George Osborne drove his axe deep into the heart of the British state today, with a range of sweeping cuts to welfare, higher education, social housing, policing and local government that he claims will draw the country back from the brink of bankruptcy.

Outlining his long-awaited comprehensive spending review, which will cut £81bn from government spending, Osborne vowed to restore "sanity to our public finances and stability to our economy". Perhaps the most striking of the new cuts announced was a package of £7bn in extra welfare cuts on top of the £11bn already made in the last budget. 



This will include the withdrawal of £50 a week from the million people claiming incapacity benefit for more than a year." [1] 


I didn’t see any cuts in MP salaries or the salaries of the Cabinet.  The British government, the henchmen, they have the audacity to call themselves Christians. You can just imagine what Christ would say to them all. 



‘I command you to be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land” Deu 15:11

‘When daylight is gone,
the murderer rises up and kills the poor and needy; in the night he steals forth like a thief’ Job 24:14

“Has not my
soul grieved for the poor?” Job 30:25

“A
poor man is shunned by all his relatives— how much more do his friends avoid him! Though he pursues them with pleading, they are nowhere to be found.” Prov 19:7

“He who is kind to the
poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done.” Prov 19:17
 

So no rewards for the members of the British government. In fact, each and every one of them carry a heavy karma for allowing the poor and sick to suffer even more then they did before.
