A Ukip candidate has said that people who claim benefits should be banned from driving in order to ease congestion on British roads.

‘We could likely remove six million cars from the roads if benefits claimants were not driving,’ read the leaflet.

‘Why do they have the privilege to spend the tax payers’ hard earned money on a car, when those in work are struggling to keep their own car on the road? These people really could catch a bus.’

Mr Yates, who is currently on the county council’s transport committee, was a Conservative councillor for 12 years.


You can take the tory out of the party, but you'll never stop him looking down his nose at you.


 
Well, as someone who receives a retirement pension, I guess that's me off the road.
 
So Mr Yates, does this mean that the mobility car you can get if you are on high rate of mobility DLA/PIP'S you want to disperse with?. Give me ruddy strength
 
Oh for sure, should shoot all the cripples really, they get in the way of the normal people like him :3:

I hope you will set up virtual Vital Villa from the Pearly Gates then JF! As alot of us on here would be for the other side :98:

I doubt benefits cover running a car for most on top of all the other domestic expenses and of course the target driven sanctions they 'dole out' at every opportunity. And seeing as a lot of job adverts say must have a car that's kind of a catch 22 to put them in. Awesome 'thinking'.

It doesn't unless you get the additional monies of DLA/PIPS which you can get working or not.

Standard Job seekers and standard sick is £72-40 (per week) approx for Jobseekers + additional for any family members made up from income support usually, for the over 25's. under 25 it is £57-35.

ESA/Sick standard rate is £72-40 per week, in assessment phrase of over 25's. In assessment phrase under 25 it is £57-35.

Once you have had your assessment and you can remain on the sick it goes up to £101-15 in work related action group (better known as WRAG) or support group which is £108-15 plus any additional benefits for family.

Unless a person has a car/taxed/N/I/Insured etc when they get laid off then no they wouldn't beable to afford it long term on a basic rate for 1 person
 
What about the majority of people who receive top up benefits because jobs don't pay the cost of living for most? How about addressing that? That's probably another 20m people you could ban from the road, and pensioners sponging off the system, another 6m. The roads will be clear for the politicians and bankers to have sole use of in no time at this rate!

So they're shooting themselves in the foot, appealing to a small number of people who would have voted for them anyway, and alienating even more. For a policy that as the figures suggest, would have little effect because the figures don't tend to cater for what they are talking about anyway lol.
 
It is very typical Freeman of the crassness, racialist, sexism and minority bashing of UKIP who happen to have marketed there product at a time when people are fedup of the various different types of how extreme this country has become, sensationalized by the media.

They have played to the masses who don't think out of the box at the right time. There policies are BNP dressed as UKIP. Effectively the main of their policies are dripping with BNP, just with a different branded name and people are falling for it

Oh you took the words right out of my mouth Freeman :19: Precisely and for that fact Child Benefit too, as even some of the rich can still get it

That's the roads clear for Sir Dennis, though I expect there is some way that UKIP could clear Sir Dennis off the road too
 
Lol yeah, does that mean the slimy elite scumbags with their state funded second houses and pay for everything expenses mean they are banned from the road too?
 
They drip feed stuff about the unemployed, fat people, foreigners, etc. through the media, making people turn on other people, but they're the ones who are really f****** us over and robbing us blind, while s*** stirring us against each other. They're all hypocritical, lying, self serving, couldn't give a toss about people really, b******s
