Tipex Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Totally agree some people on this forum really need to go out and get a life. Its just a shame that the really genuine unemployed get dragged down by the low lifes that cant be botherd to go out to work and get a bit of self respect,maybe when they get older and realize they have done nothing with there lifes when there ie so much to see in this wonderful world they might think diffrent. I was just going to say, not everyone on benefits is a cheat. I bet you most on here moaning about these cheats would do exactly the same if the roles were reversed.

chem1st Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 You're not serious, right? Consider a British person an immigrant. Give him points based upon his ability to pay tax into the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denlin Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 What? they have it deducted from their benefit BECAUSE THEY RECEIVE IT - do you want it paying twice? We both work full time and are on not much more than £25k and have to pay full everything. We live in 2 bedroom terrace and only luxuries are car and touring caravan and it's a struggle maintaining this so spare us the bleeding hearts for benefit recipients on £25k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
