Rejected petition Benefits capped at £26,000 overturned in Lords

More details

This Lords ruling cannot be right when millions in the UK are paid far less than £26,000pa (net) for carrying out their duty of working for a financial gain (salary). This ruling in effect encourages legalised theft and multi births for a free ride with no incentive to change. This ruling MUST be overturned and a better Benefits System created.
