IR – First we have the unelected bishops in the House of Lords voting against the Welfare Reform Bill, then the Bishop of Bradford, the Right Rev Nick Baines (pictured), stating that the cap has to be fair regarding child benefit.
Doesn’t this man realise that the working people of Britain sustain serious working expenses, which they have to pay out of their take home pay, plus many have to pay large amounts out for childcare and other expenses.
I therefore suggest that he and other clerics stop meddling in politics and do their own job, preaching to an ever decreasing minority.
