REGARDING Gordon Brown's Working Families Tax Credit.
That's fine for the families and kids, but what do they ever do for single unemployed people?
I am a single unemployed male, aged 47 with a house to run and bills to pay, etc.
I have less than £8,000 in savings, but I'm not offered £200-£300 a week to get back into work.
Labour only ever think of families and kids, and does nothing for single people or pensioners.
I was made redundant in 1991, and no employer has shown any interest since, despite many applications for work.
If you are expecting my vote next voting time Mr Brown, don't hold your breath. After all, what do you ever do for people like me?
