I'd like to see her try to spell 'fascism'.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -
This was written by a rig worker in North Sea - he makes a lot of sense!
I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to earn that pay cheque, I work on a rig for a drilling contractor. I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem.
What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to peoplewho don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine
test to get benefits?

But he has a point...Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

PrinceGeeGee for PM, butlers for all... hurrahh.Yes they should, in fact all tax-payers should be allocated their own scrounger, who can do odd jobs for them.
It would bring great joy to me to see my hard-earned cash being put to good use in the form of a benefit claimant tidying my garden, washing my car, exercising the dog etc.
Not likely to happen though, Gordon needs their vote.....
