Mungler Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Looky here: http://www.wheredoesmymoneygo.org/dashboar...;year=2010-2011 Quite interesting. Biggest drain is old people and the health service (which is full of sick old people) Instead of picking on the work shy chav...... maybe it's time to implement a new "Logun's Run" social policy :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I'd rather my money went to old people and the health service than to the bone idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Had to chuckle at your Logans run remark Mungler-although i would have been culled a decade ago! Intresting to see where it all goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libs Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 It was the old codgers that paid the tax that paid for the slightly less old codgers education who now pay the tax for the 'yoots' of todays education, who like me are mostly bone idle. I jest I try my best, Honest, and I do repay my fair share via alcohol taxes, something that just seems to be unavoidable at university.

Bleeh Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I'd rather my money went to old people and the health service than to the bone idle. When I worked in the Mental Health Sector, I used to work with section 47/49 (Sent though the courts/prison) patients, mostly for various sexual offenses involving children. Something of the more extreme examples cost the tax payer around £200,000 per year in care, plus they get around £1,000 a month in disability benefit. Though, there food/board is already covered in the various mental units they are held in, so your tax money in their benefits goes straight towards either fags, or big bags full of designer clothes (which are worn for a month, they kept in store at their request).

death from below Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 The taxi's in Billericay go wherever you ask them to although it is more expensive after 11pm. I would imagine it's pretty much the same in Brentwood, Mung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlight32 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 That is interesting Mung.... I find that the majority of retired folk have more money than the working ones. Do you have a solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastiebap Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Goes towards allowing Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales to have no prescription charges! Interestingly enough, there were that few of us in NI who paid prescription charges (more were free due to benefit claimants etc) that it was costing more to administer the payment system than was actually paid in charges for the scripts. However, since the charges were abolished, people have been going daft and getting prescriptions for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Do you have a solution? Anyone who is fit and available for work must do some work to get a mix of wages and benefits. Benefits are paid in vouchers which can't be spent on fags or booze. As for the old biddys, well a really really cold winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may have no prescription charges but we wait a damn sight longer for treatment than in England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
