Why work when you can get £42000 a year in benefits and drive a mercedes
lazy barstewards and even then they ran up £20k in debts
Maybe labour should have that as their slogan i'm sure it would appeal to their core voters.

There has been a lot of talk about this, today at work. Some very angry people about at the mo'. Seems we are all fed up of being taxed to the hilt to support the likes of that lot

Hardly news though is it - not meant at KOT, meant at Daily Fail.
I get to see how "the other half" live in the extended family of my wifes. Benefit is a right not a privilege. A house is expected, not strived for. A child is paid for, not postponed until it is afforded - or stopped because you haven't got the room or the money to pay for it C*nts!
The problem is - what do you do other than pay for them? You can't stop people having children. The Daily Mail is sh*te in that on the one hand it will say the government is failing those children in poverty yet point out the outrage that said children are not in poverty? Its a catch 22.
As always, my mantra rings true - if you have nothing, the state provides, if you have anything, the state will take away.
It isn't fair but its never going to change.

Another 8 people to vote for the system to stay as it is or worsen in years to come... while those who work hard to provide and have a family will most likely only have a couple offspring.
Labour started fixing the system to gain votes by allowing people to come and stay then allowing them to vote. They wont vote out their meal ticket will they.

Child support just has to end after the second kid. Full support for the first, half for the second, then none. If they cannot look after them then they can be taken into care.
Yes, taking them into care would cost more, but for most people the reason they have them is to get extra cash and a nicer house. Adopting a policy like this would take away the financial incentive, while still looking after the children.

How many times has he had to sh4g that though to produce eight children? I think he deserves every last penny of his £42k - I'd want ten times that to do what he's done!
On a serious note, yes this makes my blood boil, but what annoys me also is how certain people want to target the rich with higher taxes "because they can afford it". Now that sentiment REALLY pi$$es me off. It's just jealousy because they don't like to see people getting on, but they don't want to do it themselves by working 80-100 hours a week, getting up at 4am and risking it all to get there.

I do the accounts for a factory, and some of the men are earning not much above the minimum wage and supporting a family of a few kids. One has 5 kids and his wife only works part time.
His philosophy is, he would rather struggle and be proud, than sponge.
I detest the smugness of these scroungers who think it is their right to do nowt but live like kings. At the expense of all us hard working buggers

Ban child support full stop.
And anyone with more than two children should be taxed.
If you don't work, you shouldn't receive any benefits, simple as that.

We have three kids shock horror and the family allowance is useful, I think it should taper more than it does but the problem is if you remove it, its kids that will suffer, not the parents.
Its easy to criticise and moan about taxes when you dont have kids, thinking you are hard done by, try having some kids ! I know its our choice but someone has to.
Nb, the extra ten quid a week our third one is more than covered than by the state school places we arent using.

You're working J4CKO and paying into the system. It's people who just see the system as a take take take which it's been made allowable by governments that tends to rile people the most. A common situation and one my sis told me about due to her having a friend in the situation and that's to only work a max of 16 hours a week because the benefits when you go over that drop to a level that they're far better off only working those hours. I'm sure a lot of small and medium businesses face this a lot.
The system can never be perfect and will always be abused but it should encourage and reward hard work and responsible parenting and discourage lazy workshy attitudes. Having children now in poorer areas are seen as cash cows by many which is very very sad IMO

Bloody hell, cash cow, they really must neglect the kids to make a profit.
We know someone who tried to get a motability car for her child as she was on the autistic spectrum, i.e. a little bit, not Rain Man, just slightly, barely perciptible even now when they are after diagnosing everybody with something and giving them another method for extracting money, they told her to **** off, the lazy great dollop, never worked, doesnt do anything, council house that is a disgusting midden.

every society breeds lazy fvckers like this (proper homegrown ones too)
why people waste time and effort posting about them is beyond me -- in the grand scheme of thing they are an irevelance anyway
concentrate on making yourself better/happier/richer/healthier and just leave them in the gutter where they belong.
like cockroaches you will nevet get rid of them
and never mind her and the kids -- they live on Angelsea for fvck sake -- it is a pebbledash hell hole, prob worse than Luton
all imo of course

Am I the only one who picked up my keyboard and smashed it against the screen.... FFS..... what a pair of feckwits.
The issue is - in another 5 - 6 years their kids will start to do the same.....
Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside that I have spent 13 hours in work today...
Still, only 9 hours till I am due back in work....
