This Country must be the only

Country, where you are better off not working than working. You get everything paid for if you not working.
Labour party are shocking.
Sorry Sludge mate, but you knows im right :D

I must be doing something wrong then, I`m out of work, and all i get is £64 a week.

how can you say that bluecheg? i know plenty of people who don't work, and they by no means get everything, or indeed have everything they need.
this idea that you are better off on the dole is completely wrong and if i was unemployed and having to live on 50 quid a week i would find it quite offensive when people said i was "better off"

If he thinks i like picking up £64 a week, when i normally earn over £800 a week as a Tower crane driver, then he`s madder than Dai Hunt. :(

Agree with you cheg. Certain groups are better off not working. All the extra benefits such as tax credits, council tax benefit and housing benefit make it comfy for serial doleites. Junkies and alkies get extra benefits as they cant work due to their illness. Totally wrong.

post makes no sense

Re: This Country must be the only

read to many tabloid papers i think. how can people be better off on 64 quid a week, sure some people take advantage but not all, and if YOU had ever been on the dole you would realise it is not as cushy as you think.
actualy if you realy believe people are better off on the dole, why not quit you job and sign on?

Re: This Country must be the only

Well, if your on the dole, surely the internet would be a luxury that could not be afforded if there are other bills to pay? mouths to feed etc?

How does one afford the Internet on the Dole?

I had to take the Mrs to the maternity ward the other day-read a book on benefit entitlements for new mums.

Here are some of the rewards

If you are on Income Support
£500 for new baby
£190 for eating healthily
Vouchers for milk and fruit/veg
Family Allowance
Tax Credits

The biggest benefit fraud though is the Disability Living Allowance and related Care Allowance for parents whose child has ADHD (Hyperactivity-90% of which is caused by poor diet-1 in 10 cases are genuine). Cant remember exact figures but 50 or 60 quid is given per week in allowances to those parents whose children have ADHD.

Because £64 a week - a tenner is a lot! I certainly wouldn't be able to afford the Internet. I've been on the Dole back in 1997 and just about scraped by managing to pay essential bills and food.

the internet wasnt invented til the bleak winter of 98

Re: This Country must be the only

Only if you are on benefits. My Mrs will get the extra fam allowance and the 190 quid but because i earn too much she gets fcuk all else.

If you know how to play the system you are laughing all the way to the bank

i agree some seem unfair, but dont tar everyone with the same brush. if i lost my job i wouldnt get the above money, i would get a flat rate to survive on.
and my son is on d.l.a and he needs it.

I think the point is if you have never worked your better off not starting or even looking,i know some of these people the post refers to,and they get the house,have 3-6 kids and money for everything,get kicked off dole, sign on sick,have a sick board limp their way to another year or depression gets them a couple years,do we blame these people?i f*cking blame the pricks who get huge salaries and live in rural areas and preach politics but have no clue what the real world is like.our country is well and truly getting worse by the day.

DLA for the genuine cases is deserved-it annoys me when people use their kids to get extra benefits.

My biggest gripe is the Jeremy Kyle watching underclass who never work yet know how to play the system and get enough benefits to fund a comfortable existance (Sky TV, Fags, Booze and Takeaways)
