True though all the same, people need to wake up and see whats wrong with this country, do they never watch crimewatch?
No it is not, by a long wayMay I refer you to these for a reference to other claims made throughout our recent history

All proclaimed similar issues of one group of people, singled out on racial, national or religious grounds. They were the destruction of the society there, stealing jobs, money, women opportunity. Portrayed as parasitic, dehumanising them to the point were judgments and opinion could be formed as animals rather than fellow men (or women).
Dangerous stuff sir, you are the product of others manipulation, not saying that you are advocating the same stuff here right now, but be aware comments like that make you very sustainable to further indoctrination. Similarly you might find your comments will sit with others and breed discontent based on prejudiced views.
Something this country very very much does not need, much more so than a woman not working in my humble opinion

Ok, I know its not a daily wail link but surely this is a piss boiler in the extremus.
"Leanna, from Croydon, south London – who’s never worked – claims £15,480 a year in benefits, including £111 housing benefit a week, which pays for her two-bed council flat.
She says she’d be a fool to give up her handouts and get a job, as it would actually leave her worse off.
And this way she has enough cash to buy designer clothes and expensive gifts for her daughters Zelekah, two, and Zakirah, one.
Speaking as new figures reveal around 1.6 million Brits in working families are now classed as poor – while the UK benefits bill has soared to a new high of £2bn this year – Leanna says: “Last year, I saved £2,500 and my kids had 50 presents each, including Burberry and Ralph Lauren clothes and dolls, DVDs and CDs."

Good for her. A smart woman managing her income well enough to give a children a wonderful Christmas. "Leanna, from Croydon, south London – who’s never worked – claims £15,480 a year in benefits, including £111 housing benefit a week, which pays for her two-bed council flat.

If people don't like the fact that she doesn't actually have to do any work for this then tough. Shouldn't elect leaders that enact the laws that allow this.
Society needs to stop blaming the recipients of benefits and looking to themselves as to why they are doing nothing about it and look to the elected leaders and stop them from making this lifestyle an obvious choice.
Tiggsy:
Maybe so, but the facts are shes getting enough to comfortably live on benefits and cannot be arsed to get a job and obviously doesn't see why she should bother.
That alone is enough to annoy me.
Show me the man to vote for.
How exactly is "society" (whatever the f
k that is in this case) is responsible for her deciding she can't be arsed to do anything apart from drop out from school, get knocked up twice and screw the taxpayer out of every penny she can, having never contributed anything?

She's nothing but a thieving parasite as far as I am concerned.

You should only be able to get out what you paid in.
Really hard to write that into law though without screwing people over who are deserving.Disabled from birth ? child with degenerative disease for instance? low paid cleaner who gets cancer and has 2 children ( bbc doc the other day show this situation). Worked hard but only put in a little due to tax thresholds.
I wouldn't be a politician for all the money in the world, especially in a time of depression. Awful job.

£15.5k pa spending money is equivalent to earning about £25k IIRC, a nice incom for 0 hours a week.
I'd guess it's equiv to earning nearer to 17 or 18k gross[ tax at 20% would only be payable on about half the income , plus whatever NI is ]£19k equivalent.
Less travel costs of course - as they don't actually have to get to their 'job'.
