Benefit cheats and Grasses about the same low level of pond life.

Who cares about them, they will get caught sooner or later.

Only if someone "grasses them up!"  ;D

Lots of dole brigade window cleaning in summer charging silly prices that are just plain daft. However, in the winter I pick up some of their work but only if I can get sensible prices. I pick up more work in the winter than I do in the spring in one particular area and it isn't just coincidence.

I just think they should do away with benefits full stop. Its crazy to pay people not to work. It was a nice idea but it hasn't worked.

It has created a complete underclass of bone idle scroungers and 4X4s. It said in the papers yesterday the real figure is close to 6 million now. Very few of them are genuine.

If you just said to most of them that to get their benefits they would have to sweep the streets it would be a revelation how many would come off the benefits.

In America Clinton introduced a scheme where people could only claim welfare for 6 months then they were on their own. It worked like a dream.

Just stop it, make the slobs get up in the morning and keep themselves.

I personally believe that after 6 months of not being able to find a job..the Benifits office should be able to 'place' a person in work subject to health and safety issues.

Whether that is a 'proper job' or be it a placement of benifit to the local community...

Failure to work/attend would result in the wage/benift being cut.

Far too much of a 'give me' culture in the U.K...

Cheers
Dave.

my thoughts exactly, i think they should make them work 40 hrs per work doing anything the council want- led them too highways agency as labour, and get them gardening, cleaning etc

Its a joke to give someone a house and a wage in return for a lazy chav of a citizen who has more holidays a year to magaluff than most of us :)

Benefits are a joke anyway, if you or me had to stop work we would still be stuck with the amount you get!!!

It just supports the bone idle life style, not the genuine un employed!

never mind the fraud. I'm surprised no one has got on to H&S about the dad in the item, shooting up the ladder two rungs at a time that is clearly a violation  ;D ;D ;D

Here in Holland there has this week been a tv ad campaign to shop your neighbours.....basically they have been asking the public to look at their neighbours and look to see if they are living\spending way outside there means...I suppose they are really looking at young lads with brand new BMW's and the like...

To be honest mate I bet those that wrongly claim benefits sleep well at night too. They claim it becasue they havent got a conscience and that also allows them to sleep without worry.

Id grass em up and claim my £65.00 a week.

Claiming the moral high ground doesnt pay bills.
