Sorry, Kitten, but I don't think Huddy's saying that.

I could be wrong, but to me it seems as though Huddy is, quite rightly, perturbed at the ridiculous way in which this benefit is being cut.

Penalising people based on one wage is ridiculous because two people on slightly less can be taking home virtually twice as much yet still receive the benefit!

Mark, good point
