You've Taxed Too Much, Borrowed Too Much

For Too Long, We Have Been A Passively Tolerant Society, Saying To Our Citizens: As Long As You Obey The Law, We Will Leave You Alone.

We Cannot Go On As We Are With 2.6 Million People On Incapacity Benefit, 500,000 Of Them Are Under 35. Are We Really Saying There Are Half A Million People In This Country Under 35 Who Are Simply Too Ill To Work? I Don’t Think That’s Right.

Too Many People Are Stuck On Sickness Benefits Because Of Issues That Could Be Addressed But Instead Are Not, Some Have Drug Or Alcohol Problems, But Refuse Treatment. In Other Cases, People Have Problems With Their Weight That Could Be Addressed, But Instead A Life On Benefits Rather Than Work Becomes The Choice.

I Think The Prospect Of Bringing Back Grammar Schools Has Always Been Wrong And I've Never Supported It. And I Don't Think Any Conservative Government Would Have Done It.

Let Me Completely Condemn These Sickening Scenes; Scenes Of Looting, Scenes Of Vandalism, Scenes Of Thieving, Scenes Of People Attacking Police, Of People Even Attacking Firefighters. This Is Criminality Pure And Simple And It Has To Be Confronted.
