rbrowning2 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I 100% support helping young people with young children given the high price of housing etc especially if they are working on low wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) I'd make them work for it. Repairing roads, picking dog eggs,cleaning the streets with brushes and shovels not some little sweeper pushing it round a bit. Cutting council lawns etc. see how many then get jobs. No work no pay. Have a big place with rows of bunks if they can't afford houses. And feed them gruel. Benefits should be sustenance not a living.

For £1800 a month I would gladly sweep streets, pick up dog *****, scrub walls and clean river beds etc. Hell, you could wax my legs and call me Shirley for that money!

evo Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 have to agree with Figgy,,people on benefits should be made to get out of bed and work for their money,,it annoys me and probably every other tax payer that these" lazy don't want to work" people can just sit about watching Mr Kyle smoking pot and fags and drinking cans of super or bottles of cheap cider, its no wonder they don't want to work when everything is free,, ie ,,dentists,,prescriptions,,food banks,,rent poll tax bloody everything, they even get more benefit when they say they have a drink problem,,also free methadone when they say they have a drug problem, no wonder OUR country is in such a state,,make them work for their benefits and as said if they don't work then they don't get,,simple as Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedsanity Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Lol, your governbent robs you of billions more than people on benefits every year and nobody seems to care because there aren't telly programmes about it, we give millions to India every year as aid and they have a space programme, MP's owning two homes and we pay the mortgages even though they live 20 mins away from London, the list is endless , George osbournes best man at his wedding making tens of millions overnight from the post office shares sale which is money that should have gone to the taxpayers purse etc.etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobba Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Certainly provide assistance where necessary, but £1800 month is £21,600 a year which, depending on tax and NI calculations, equates to around £29,000 - £30,000 a year gross. As at October 2014 survey the average salary here in Bristol was £25,000. To my mind it is completely unjustifiable to give benefits higher than hard working people earn!

Guest Mick.j Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 What ******** me off is the fact they think they have a right to do ******* and get paid for it. Work, they cannot spell it, let alone do any. The benefit system is there as a sfety net for when people fall on hard times, not as a Bl00dy fulltime career. Makes me spit. Anyway think its going to snow this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I just hope the short fat bloke who can't speak properly achieves his dream and becomes a Hollywood actor. Then he can look after his mother and grandmother fiance properly. Edited January 28, 2015 by walshie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I am going to cross off a portion of my payable tax and submit a note saying it's being wasted on air thieves. How do you think that will go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I wonder how many of these 'professional' scroungers there actually are. If the system can afford £1800 per month it should start by giving it to pensioners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deker Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Benefits should be directly related to what you've paid in, kind of like a pension ie, if you've worked every year that you could have since leaving education then you get 100%, if you've only worked 1 year but could have worked 10 years then you get 10% of the benefits allowance Edited January 28, 2015 by Deker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walshie Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 The word "benefit" doesn't even apply to these scroungers. "Handout" should be used for the terminally workshy. Half their handout has to be going on fags, then they wonder why they (we) can't afford the rent. They constantly amaze me that they can't string a sentence together, probably couldn't tell you the name of the Prime Minister, yet know exactly how many hours they can work (if they could be bothered) without affecting their handouts.

shaun4860 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Why they've paid taxes throughout their working career? I'm not defending these people they get on my nerves too. I was just pointing out the biggest drain on the benefits system, I also know people of 50 years old that have never worked a day in their lives, They will become pensioners one day so not ALL pensioners will have paid into the system. These programmes are aired to get exactly the response they are getting on here, Not everyone on benefits is a scrounger. As for making them work for benefits, Are you going to pay them the minimum wage for doing it?.....I suspect not, So you are putting people on the streets to work for pennies, isn't that slave labour, getting them to do the jobs that people should be getting a proper wage for? Controversial I know, I'm off to put my tin hat on and wait for the onslaught Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
