I think I might have missed something, but is there a new government trying to take away benefits from workers?

Pretty much. Its all SHIT FINANCIAL CRISIS, LETS FUCK OVER OUR TEACHERS AND FIRE SERVICE AND THE NHS [and several others!]. THAT'LL SORT IT.

Its the working class who seem to be taking the hits over and over and now they also are talking about scraping the 50% tax on the uber rich as well. LOUISA SMASH! :p
