Living in Poverty. How many times do we hear this pish? Poverty my arse. I have no doubt lots of people are really struggling but I wish they would stop telling us how many kids are living in Poverty based upon some flawed calculation dreamed up by a statistician.
Yet you know fine well I don't claim any benefits anymore as I've already stated on other threads. Do you think if I was on benefits I'd be able to have constant smoke and buy myself new speakers?
There is toil to be had if people really wanted to work. Lots of people on the dole see some forms of work as below them. 6 weeks on the JSA then you can clean up your community for your giro money
If there is a finite amount of money available to the Government to spend on benefits then we should consider a Hunger Games style live extravaganza on C4 for Unemployment benefit. Losing team dies = No benefits. This would be great entertainment for the whole nation and cheer us all up in these drab times. Davina McCall could present it.
Thank God we don't let hippy types like you decide on who gets benefits. You'd have every harelipped lesbian in captivity on free money.
My eyes! Ok, maybe majority is a bit strong but it's not a small minority abusing the system. It';s a very large %
