The Autumn Statement of Chancellor George Osborne was not very helpful for the hard working middle class people.
I am a former Gurkha. I have served 24 years in the British Army and I have sacrificed all my life to pay taxes and people on benefits are enjoying, courtesy of the UK government. Because of my small pension in accordance with the Tripartite Agreement (TPA), I have been working as a caretaker in Central London, travelling everyday from Watford to pay my bills.
And I am still struggling hard to find my "status" with the British government .
The Life in UK is very hard and challenging for hard working middle class people like us. The UK government did exploit it's own people by introducing the benefit culture and now the government wants to bury them alive.
Those who have their benefits stopped, are taking their anger out on the people like me. Early morning when I was waiting for my bus, a white young man shouted at me and said "do not ever try to be like me". Racism and the crime rates have gone up and the UK government is creating a very unhealthy and unpleasant environment.
I urge the UK government first to clear the mess at home, before creating a mess by bombing indiscriminately in Iraq, Syria, Libya etc.
