Of course, the 16 year old knocked up by the 20 year old heroin addict (who looked like a 12 year old) was given a new flat. 'yeah I'm getting a new kitchen. I'm getting a new bathroom. He spends all his giro on smack!'. Nothing wrong with that model. :

Why the **** do we not ban benefits!!!??

Why the **** do we not ban benefits!!!??

Because not everyone who gets benefits is a smack head or an oxygen thief?

Brrrrrrrrr. They may not necessarily be a smack head but oxygen thief.....

90% of people on benefits could take a job, it's just that 'minimum wage' is an insult. Some people are to proud and precious to take 'work', because that work means cleaning, waiting, service etc.

Benefits are a travesty. They kill effort and a work attitude. I once claimed a weeks 'income support' when I was 19 and I still feel ashamed. And for the record, this is my real view not a CUK troll. I have no time for it or the people who
claim it.

Nah. You're 'avin a laugh again. Current benefit levels are £50 a week? No bugger could survive on that and no bugger would choose it.

Add in free prescriptions, dental, council tax, rent and then recalculate that toots!

Sadly an awful lot of people choose that and supplement it with a bit of "borrowing". I don't think we should abolish benefits cos there are some truly needy people out there, but there are also those who take the piss.

What we really need to get rid of is the situations where most of the wage earners in a family are out of work long term. And TBH we need to do something about the quality of work as well, a lot of minimum wage jobs would still be demeaning if they paid 10x as much.

doodab in used to be poor once mode.
