What are your views? You see a lot of stories about people playing the system and being given huge houses and paid £38,000 in benefits.

But it seems the regular person that just want to work is being shafted, because thay can't get that first step on the ladder.

I noticed one trend in all those stories, people having kids when they could not afford to have kids....

Poor old fking Vincent.

Crazy idea, but maybe get a part time job? Then perhaps you could afford to find the £19 you need.

By the way, I haven't been to the theatre in ages either. Because I can't afford it.

Get over it!

I Agree, notice how they only get the opinions of young lefty's?!

3 pages of discussion on it here btw...

The woman with 11 kids. How is having the 11th and taking food away from your other kids being a good mother.

She was getting something like £38,000 a year in benefits. The Nation average wage is £25,000 how does she think other people manage, oh yes they don't have 11 kids

I just don't believe these stories. Rather than giving these people free cash, i would suggest making them do some work for it. If Vincent Iamafukingscrounger wants to help me shift some cr8p from my garage i'm happy to give him £50 for the effort - though i suspect he'd suddenly develop some disability at the sight of work.
