Website can make your money go further - Gwent AM (From South Wales Argus)

Our money would go a lot further if we did not have to fund am's in the national assembly, chief execs of councils who earn more than the prime minister, town and city councillors who get paid more than the average wage of the people they selflessly say they want to serve ,police commissioners who the vast majority of didn't want , money wasted on multi lingual signs and forms etc etc .Hope your'e catching my drift

I agree Money Saving Expert is a much better site. Hints, tips, vouchers and invaluable forums on a range of topics.

The AM said: “Some members of our communities need all the financial assistance they can get at the moment.

Awww Bless him, but then again:

What a patronising git! If AM's and Mp's experienced life in the real world, they wouldn't post such stupid comments and would maybe pull their bloody fingers out and do more to sort out how the average person is supposed to live in a society that only seems to look after shareholders, politicians and corporations through tax loopholes and the like.

I for one (like most people) have had no pay increase for six years and am expected to find ways to pay for increases in domestic bills, motoring, council / income tax and NI contributions. I no longer get family tax credits (thanks to this government) and am living hand to mouth - even though I work all the hours I can, and frequently face the threat of redundancy. Not that I am after anyones sympathy, I'm just stating facts.

Makes me sick that these politicians get to vote for pay increases for themselves, get to claim expenses for pretty much anything that they have the neck to claim for and quite often use their clout to create "jobs for the boys" They have no idea how difficult the majority of people in the UK are finding it to pay their bills and they more often than not seem to treat the electorate with absolute contempt!

Granted, money can be saved by doing a bit of research on the net, but what happens after you have made all the savings you can, and still don't earn enough to make ends meet.

Do me a favour AM Davies, start looking at the bigger picture and start doing the job you were elected to do and stop looking down your nose and patronising the average working / unemployed person!

Idiot!
