    rip off uk!

    why do we bother being hard working and honest?

    the guy on the dole who drinks down the pub has Sky HD, 42" LCD and a "smeg" (which I cannot afford!!!), the guy down the pub who is on the "Dole" drives a 2009
    £16k motor, because he is on "disability"! the guy down the pub get's his drinks for FREE because you and me pay for them!!!! due to the fact that he has an "weekly allowance" for beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The guy down the pub had the balls to say my car is old and noisy and I should get something better!

    Where the hell are we going???

    Does this happen in othes countries?

    I doubt it but agree with you 110% there is just too many people taking the mick now-adays with regards to everything whilst everyone goes out working they sit at home and live off us.

        Couldn't agree more.... The few who pay taxes now have to support the many who sponge off the state...

        The other ones the gets me are the tossers who work for the bank that the tax payers own and made a loss of £3.5Bn but get bonuses of £1.5Bn....

        Rewarding failure and freeloaders....

        Where is this country going.... Down the tubes...

        If I rewarded myself for making a loss I would have the bailiffs knocking on the door!!!

          It's changed a bit here.. it's harder to get an unemployable stamp on your head now.
          But still, the unemployment allowance is quite low though, so most of them lazy ******** are filling it up with planting green stuff up the attic or moonlighting the business.

          I bet every town has their own lazy *** neighbour living from our hard earned money.

                  "The tendency of taxation is to create a class of persons who do not labour, to take from those who do labour the produce of that labour, and to give it to those who do not labour". William Corbett (1763-1835)

                  There is a better quote which I have forgotten and now can't find, but it says the same sort of thing.

                    The problem with all of this is that when honest, decent people need help (i.e. me) we get treated like criminals and totally shafted because we're honest and try our best. I'm utterly disgusted with the way I've been treated by the government over the past year. ****ers

                      my dad had an operation on his arm in july 09 which meant he couldn't work as a mechanic until its healed.. the op didnt go to plan and so had to be done again. his arm is still in a cast now. he's paid his tax all his life and never needed any government help before until now. so he's getting £60 odd quid a week in disability allowance which is supposed to be enough to live on while not working (he is self employed, so no work no money) to get this £60 per week he's had to have 3 interviews with someone nowhere near qualified to be a doctor, for them to decide whether he is fit to work or not, even tho actual doctors say he isn't. at the last interview with his arm still in a cast and still not confirmed healed by doctors they said he was fit to work again and would now not be recieving the money anymore

                        Last march I was made redundant. Because the comany was going downhill at high speed, no redundancy payout.

                        I have worked since leaving school at 17.

                        I worked for 4 years in Canada and I'm a naturalised citizen.

                        My partner makes pretty crap money so we were in trouble so I did the work...

                        PPI on our loans - half wont pay out as Ali is working
                        Half wont pay out for 4!! months and the loan cos want paying right NOW
                        Council tax benefit - Ali makes about £10 a month too much to qualify
                        Housing Benefit - No payout for 6 months, and then Ali still makes too much to Qualify
                        Jobseekers - Paid out sweet FA, really, just not worth the hassle because I was honest about everything. Then all of the above totally ruled a moot point because I started my own business and made my own employment.

                        Ironically if Ali's dad fired her we'd be in a life of luxury right now :S How is that fair. On top of that if I moved back to Canada I'd be all right too :S

                        I have to say when I travel, I dont use my UK passport anymore, I dont even know where it is. I'm not proud to be British anymore, I havent been for a long time. And now I'm getting the shaft for pet insurance
