living on the dole

[graysblue]

it amazes me when i see/read the lifestyles of people on the dole.

last week it was revealed the crazy guy who was forever ranting in this country and eventually was kicked out paid 4k for his daughter to have a boob job.

how can he be claiming the dole and shell out £4000??

the other week i read about the family who have 11 kids and claim 42k per year!!!

or the somalian family who have lived here for 12 years and have 5 kids and have claimed for every single day since living here,in addition the council knocked 2 semi detached gaffs into one large house to give them more space.

story upon story yet this crazy country shells out vast amounts,no wonder the country is skint.

I know- it's criminal. She should've been able to get this on the NHS.

Bringing up 11 kids on £42K doesn't sound like an easy life to me.

42k take home pay is the same as earning 70k per year !!!

perhaps they should have thought before knocking out so many kids?

I wouldn't fancy bringing up 11 kids on £70K a year.

I was on the dole for a little while, and every other Wednesday I had to go and sign on. It was more of a club than a job centre, everybody knew everybody and most had expensive trainers, tracksuits and mobile phones. Im not sure how they all managed it on £52 a week.
Also when I worked as an estate agent we use to get people wanting to know if we had DHSS properties as they were on housing benefits. One 17yr old girl had £600 a month for housing benefits for having a toddler. I have to work just under 3 weeks to pay my mortage and the other week in the month goes towards the bills.

I'll check the rulebook but I think if it follows a serious-looking comment about the Welfare State or social and economic conditions you should be ok.

it's staggeringly ridiculous. any abuse of the system that other people work to provide ****es me off royally, whether it's tax evasion by the rich or playing the benefits system at this end.

Living on the dole seems like a cushy number to me..
Sky tv, all the burberry you could want and still enough spare cash for a pretty much unlimited supply of cheap booze and strong weed.

I think creative accounting by the rich is much worse because that is sheer greed.

 

[graysblue]

the benefits system under loony labour has reached insane levels.

give give give and give even more is their mad motto.

fair play if any person needs help from the state,but to allow long term claiming either through unemployment or sickness is damn crazy.

watched a prog the other week regarding long term sickness claimants,talk about take the ****.

one indian gent had claimed sickness for 9 years whilst working on the side and then bleated he only worked to give his family the little luxuries in life..................yawn.

I would argue this

at least the rich people have worked to earn there money.

At the end of the day this arguement settles around two of the seven deadly sins..

look at gilman drive (saxon gardens) in shoebury, has a contagious bout of bad back, and its own mini economy of people walking into your house to sell you what they nicked last week.
