There is a truth here , if you can afford sky tv,Internet , mobile phone  smoke , drink go out for meals run an expensive car.
Then should you really be in a council property?


Yet as soon as these are mentioned the residents are up in anger.

They've admitted it was worded clumsily though

well you know cc you have to be very careful about stigmatising a certain 'group' of people, the last world war was caused by a man who stirred up hatred for the jews.

Point taken Julie, but I am not advocating gassing any one just cutting benefits.

Well as a working person I struggle to afford sky tv, cigs ,beer and a Staffordshire pit bull. O0


These would be the first things I would cut out when on benefits and looking for work.

Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.

They say that the new benefit claims on line may encourage fraud.  A lot of it seems to be fraud already. I T seems to me , that you cant claim a little, youve got to have the lot. Tempted.

The worst thing about it that as they tighten the rules, the honest claimants can't get anything but the liars and cheats just learn new dodges and continue to play the game.  Then everyone claiming benefits gets tarred with the same brush and decent people who have paid in and are entitled to claim would rather die than do so.   :-\
