megalithic Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I work in the private sector. If you recieve funds from the state, taxpayers have a right to know how much and why. If you've ever had hospital treatment, you didn't pay at the point you received it did you ? So it was paid for for you, it's the same thing. Also, what if someone became ill and had to give up work after working all their life till that point, do you think they should be treated in this way ? or should those subjected to such treatment be hand picked ?

geared Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 That DVLA website is actually very useful, I can't see the problem to be honest. It lets you check the tax and MOT status using the numberplate, it's quick and efficient. Who cares if it shows up the car is disabled, 99% of the time the car will have the blue disc in the window anyway and no-one thinks twice when they see one of those.

Alien52 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Why shouldn't people be entitled to know who is on benefits? It's us that pay for it, after all. From your previous posts I assumed it was just you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansheff Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Why shouldn't people be entitled to know who is on benefits? It's us that pay for it, after all. What about someone, say 62 year old who has worked all their life and find themselves unemployed. They have paid into the system all their working life it is not just us the taxpayers that are paying for the benefit, they are just getting back some of what they have put in.

Yeah, but that's not fair. Some like HH need someone to tread on to make themselves feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Se7enhills Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Why would anyone really care about what the neighbours may think anyway? When my dad got a blue badge I dont recall people pointing and/or laughing and tutting at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether the public are entitled to know who is on benefits or not, why would it even matter? What use is such information to a member of the public?
