Reply to: Too fat to work!

I'm not sure this isn't some kind of Daily Mail reader baiting exercise. Surely it's made up?

No, it was discussed on one of daily TV shows yesterday which is where I picked the story up from.

Also - Daily Star website is blocked at clientco for some reason.

X FACTOR flop Emma Chawner and her family are demanding more benefits because they are too fat to work. Link

Tax

Taxes, well, at least in principle we have some say in how they are spent. So we can only blame ourselves.

R*?*S sold me something that was a lie. Now they've made free with the cash there is nothing I can do.

We no longer have a situation where by and large people get what is merited. Investments and savings we have worked hard for have been stolen by an undeserving overlord class. The tulip is going to hit the fan over this.

Perhaps you've a clear view of the deserving and underserving poor?

I guess the "And there's another one for you to thrill yourself with" bit was way beyond some peoples' clearly limited intellect. My mistake to assume that people can actually read I suppose.

As I always say, on this board one can never use too many smilies ..

There appears to be a cluture of blaming people living on a few quid a week for stealing all yer money.

Life on benefits is pretty grim for most. Put this in to context of the like of Goodwin who have.

Stolen your savings
Stolen your pension
Sold you worthless shares / loans / bonds / derivatives
Wrecked your job
Will take your house from you


... and p**s off with millions in their pockets.

Yeah.... lets give the little people a good kicking. (tabloid style)

The difference is between consent and coercion. I bank at Natwest because I choose to (and I`ve never paid a penny for the privilege). I don`t consent to paying taxes, the money is stolen from me using the threat of violence.

Prehaps if cut their benefit they would not be able to afford all that food?

Why are you reading the daily star?

apart from that point taken.

This may be an un-PC observation, but has anyone ever seen a fat person work?

I'm curious: did you think that you knew how to spell it, or did you just think that it doesn't matter?

I'm curious, is your life really so pathetic that you spend all day scouring this forum looking for spelling mistakes? Does it give you a little thrill to show everyone that you spotted one?

Congratulations, at least you have acheived something today. And there's another one for you to thrill yourself with - so you can't say I never do anything for you.

Aha - spotted one!
