£30 is a lot of money
Imagine this situation: 30% of your wage or benefits gets taken away. How would you feel? Would you be angry? Would you feel it's unfair? I would imagine you would feel both, but you would mostly feel worried right? I am in the very fortunate situation of earning a good wage and being able to afford what many people, myself included, would consider luxuries. If I was told that I would have to take a wage decrease and had no choice in it, I would feel all of the above but I would have options. I could find another job and even if I wasn't successful, I could live on a 30% reduction.
