My opinions about benefits are a product of my experiences but I didn't (and don't) say that makes them any more or less valid; I was led to wonder how many of us on here had claimed the dole. That is all.
No matter. Onto more weighty matters....................Murray Walker Useless????? Are you bonkers?? The man was a Legend!!

Murray Walker - useless - some people seem to think that being an inarticulate ranting idiot with almost no idea what is actually happening is part of some kind of British tradition that needs to be honoured in some way. Then again...Comment

And just why they insist upon putting it on Radio 5 Live is beyond all comprehension. They might as well commentate upon bees swarming.

On the dole under Thatcher for eight months, out of work under Major and Blair (twice) for a couple of months each.
Never under Callaghan or Brown, so on that basis they must be the best prime ministers that we've had in my working life.Comment

I was only on the dole (twice) under a Labour government.
Even though I could have survived the second time without, it was my duty to register and associate my unemployed status against Gordon Browns innings as prime ministerComment
