Kev Walsh lashes the MPs of Bolton, I am no lover of the Labour party, but who would be an MP!

Given we are an island with a finite income in terms of tax and contributions, if we cancel the government's welfare plans, where would you make the cuts and where would you shift the budget?

Its a simple fact, you can only get so many slices of the cake.

I work 60-70 hours/week, I get a good salary, but give on average 30% in taxes, I pay for everything and get very little back from the state.

I have been away from home for the last four weeks and will spend 60% of the balance of 2015 away from my family. In a conversation this week, someone from another country said "but in the UK you pay to much tax" I replied true, but look at the services we get, I don't mind paying tax if I can see value for money and for me that's clean streets, good police and ambulance service and a strong NHS"

I would seriously means test anyone and everyone, I would funnel funds into child care before and after school and allow people to go out to work and support those who cannot, but anyone capable of working should get off their backsides and get a job or two jobs and before you say there are no jobs, this is BS, if you look you can get, why are the Polish queuing to come here.

I would cut all welfare for anyone not paying into the pot for a period of five years, who come from overseas and I would make a £10/hr minimum wage.

You work 60/70 hrs and give away 30% of your salary and tell me if that's not fair?
