We work in some of the shittest areas in south shore for the council etc. You wouldn't belive the amount of disposal income the fuckers have. All sat in their gardens drinking cider,smoking skunk,McDonalds and KFC's for dinner etc etc. It's fookin bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beer_swiller Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Too many kids having kids. If they can't look after them don't fucking have them. It's all fucking bollox, seems the only way to leave mum n dads home is to do what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny G Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) They should never have changed the welfare state from One being based on contributions, to a means tested system. By that I dont mean those who have paid the most in are entitled to get the most out, I would base it on the amount of time that you have constantly paid in, equals the benefits that you can get out should you fall on hard times. Obviously the above doesnt apply to those that are unable to look after themselves. Edited April 17, 2014 by Danny G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 There isn't enough jobs out there if you can't be arsed looking or your a picky cunt Why the fuck are so many Eastern Europeans doing the NMW work? I will tell you why - our lot don't fancy it as the pay isn't much more than they get in benefits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a massive lefty but folk not at least doing something to contribute their share fucks me off. The missus and I get housing benefit at the moment as she's not been so well so we haven't been making enough. But we still work for ourselves and we'd never consider going on full benefits whilst we can still work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no balls Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Frank, you know as well as the rest of us there's a big difference between helping folk out and folk expecting. It's a shame when there's people taking the piss as it can end up tarring everyone getting assistance with the same brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I would have died watching this programme. Me and the Mrs got into a position where we knew we could afford to support a kid and a year or so later, after no balls rumbled the pre match cravings of garlic bread and fried egg, he arrived, 10 months on I get paid every 4 weeks and have less disposable income now than I did when I earned minimum wage 7 years ago! We both work full time and pay an absolute shit load in childcare (NINE HUNDRED AND BASTARD FORTY SIX POUNDS A MONTH) with nowt but the godsend of £80 a month child benefit back from the state. I sometimes think we have take the wrong path but then I think, in 12 years time, when my lad understands, he'll know that working for what you have is the right thing to do. I couldn't think of owt worse than breeding a brood of glass backs! I also think if we were a few grand a year worse off we would have made sure there wasn't a chance of pregnancy. Kids getting pregnant at 12 is fucked up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no balls Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 But you two look 12 Anyway, you're both ace at it, good luck to you. P.S. It's a gift of mine, I can spot pregnancy from a good half an hour after the tadpole has planted itself so I'm used to keeping cheggers secrets.

Youri McAnespie Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) I was in Asda Daubhill t'tother day - it makes the Burnden or Astley Bridge ones looks like Fortnum and Masons... It was rammed with Roma Gypsies buying cheap frozen cakes - favvered downtown Baia Mare. I trust Morris and his merry men are spending this extra 'gateway' funding wisely.

frank_spencer Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 And dont get me started on these food banks that are in fashion at the moment! Why? because the fact folk are struggling doesnt fit in to your world view? Not every poor person gets a bucket load of benefits and has sky, smooks and drinks bucket loads. There are people really wtruggling to make ends meet out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
