Yeah but I'm almost certainly better looking, taller and more intelligent than you.
And much less of a fibber.

The problem is the hand wringing classes have managed to focus attention on the children. It is not fair to punish the children.

Speaking about the long term 'job dodgers' here, not the unfortunate ones to be out of work...

Arguably, the kids were doomed at the point there were born into a non-working family with no means of sustating a family without handouts from the Government. The kids wont suffer, they will simply need to learn that their parents are loosers, and there will need to be cutbacks.

Let the shame of having to explain to their kids that they cant afford the latest x-box game, or mobile phone, and that they need to buy their clothes from charity shops be the reality check the parents need to get a ****** job!!

On this spaceship called earth, we have no room for passengers. if you dont benefit society by keeping the ship running, feel free to jump off...

Anyone who thinks height is something to boast about is almost certainly a little runt.

Children are the key.

When our (grown-up) son moved out to live with his girlfriend and her widowed mother, we got our housing benefit cut because we now have an unused bedroom!.

As though the Landlords could come and take it away :-)

(and yes...we are hoping to move to a smaller place already)

You could have got away with lying about your income, but no one believes you now.
Your favourite cars are all small-cock substitutes.

He is.

I'm 5' 1" and he's 5' 2" with his cubans on.

Sorry to disappoint, short-arse.

You disagree then, and suggest it is fair? Or do you have an alternative solution to benefits which protects the kids without pampering the parents?

There is the difficult bit. It would be extremely difficult to punish the parents without damaging the kids.

There needs to be a refocusing where the blame for the situation is laid firmly on the parents and not on the state.
Being long term unemployed used to carry some stigma, these days it is a life style choice.

Fortunately it is not up to me to find a solution.
