And what happens if they refuse to do this, they end up loosing benefits? Then it's back to the crime talk! Can't put them in prison they would only get community service anyway.....

 

Thats ok then will just let them hold us to ransom because they might turn to crime.And what do you think they do already i dont know anyone who works full time popping out at lunch to burgle a house or go shop lifting

I agree, I would not pay it.

I don't think being unemployed should mean a ticket to an easy life, tokens for food [exchangeable at government food banks] and 2 days a week community service should apply, last winter when the snow and ice lay thick, I was the only fool in the street who cleared outside of my house, and there are quite a few able bodied unemployed in my street.

Good post

Not sure if the link will work, but I created a fictitious 28 year old single mum with 8 kids on an online benefits calcuator site, claiming for moderate disability and two moderately disabled kids.

 

The result was £43,196.35 per annum. That's £62500 before tax.

28 year old single mother with 8 kids, not a massive bit of fiction then

Whilst I agree that there are plentiful scroungers out there claiming benefits that they don't deserve, there is the otherside of the spectrum too, especially when you mention disability.

 

My missus works with disabled kids and their families and the things they have to pay for, like specialist machinery, wheelchairs, treatments and the like is by no way covered by disability benefits for some families and needs to be addressed.

 

As far as JSA or child tax credit goes, well thats another story

I can just imagine Cameron et al rubbing their grubby little hands together listening to all the disgruntled people ringing into all the radio talk shows slagging off single parents, illegitimate kids, absent fathers, benefits and everything else, laughing at the success they've had in turning this around. The simple fact is that this is SOCIETY'S FAULT, and the governments through time that could have easily prevented it from ever happening. But no, they (collectively) have swindled, lied, dodged and fiddled their way to the top, with no real concern for those who put them there.

So spare a thought before leaping on the latest fashionable bandwagon, read between the lines and see whats really happening to this Septic Isle.

 

Clap! Benefits is a very small part of UK expenditure. Sensationalist nonsense once again.
