Who Benefits?

[Cymru1]

Been trying to save a few quid for full brake upgrade for the Avant.
What with housold bills, fuel, childcare, etc it is always the last priority;
But hope to get all four corners sorted for the dreaded MOT in Jan.


Why bother tho?........

Saw a mate of mine the other day who has been looking at the Seat Exeo's as a
possible new motor - he says they where quite nice but in the end he
plumped for the new Insignia Tdi estate/tourer. (v.nice).

Another lad said their getting a full HD Sky broadband / Sports
package installed tommorrow.

Whats my problem you may ask? ........

Neither have a job and both are on disability and get free
everything (seem fine in the pub tho!) - one's abroad on hol's for two
weeks for christ sakes - and i have to "save" for four discs and calipers?

Hate this country sometimes.....Arghhhh!

Yep your always better off on the dole??? It pissses me off as I work all the hours and I dont complain about money as my moto in life I work hard and I play hard and because I work hard I treat myself got 3 lovely cars got sky etc etc but I have to work VERY hard to keep these and to also maintain and then some people cant be arsed to get up in the morning to look for a job as they think who gives a flying fiick as the goverment pays for everything

It drives me nuts if they dont really need the benefits. Thousands of folk fiddle benefits, They clearly have no self respect!

im currently on the dole after been made redundant.. again anyhoo id love sky, a car newer than r reg, a holiday, a drink etc etc how do these people do it? lol

[djh]

in short they lie thru their back teeth, they just say stuff to doctors like i'm hearing voices, I feel i'm going to do something stupid. You end up hearing they have been given more than you get in full time jobs

[sam80quattro]

id get carted off to a nut house knowing my luck lol

...and those who are honest, tell the truth and genuinely need help get put through the wringer and get nothing at the end of it other than a kick in the teeth

These things aren't always as they seem though, so don't judge too quickly...

Me n mrs both work full time
We struggle and go without stuff for the kids sake.
We don't go out, or drink , no hols, I m not even having a present for my fortieth birthday next week
Her ex is jobless, living in a paid for 4 bed house by himself, claims all he can
No money for their 2 kids
I pay my ex £300 a month for one child
He is a full time gigging musician , but benefits believe he has no income , even tho we given them gig dates to catch him
He then has the cheek to ask for babysitting money when he has his own kids
But I couldn't get away with it, or putting him out of our misery
Life isn't fair, but we are happy

if you know how to play the system its easy to milk it. Some poeple do deserve it and more, trouble is they get tarred by the scum who fleece it.
At least this government are trying to do something about it, trouble is its too ingrained into our society you can't change anything worthwhile without communists and Guardian readers getting up on their high horse :corey:

[Rusty]

The Government haven't got a clue and their changes are just persecuting people who need help rather than getting rid of those who play the system for all it's worth. I volunteer in a specialist department at the local hospital and see people all the time who genuinely need help and have to fight and fight to get anything and often end up with nothing at all. It's a disgrace that even those who are involved in the system admit is a total mess...
