I’m fed up with freeloaders in society.  I'm not referring to the people who really are sick and cannot work.  But isn’t it strange that this country breeds a small minority of scum that expect everything to be handed to them on a plate?  They don’t want to work and yet expect it all and claim to be too ill too work.

I work two jobs to support myself and my family; I have a one year old daughter and I take pride in the fact that I am now married and own a house at the age of twenty-five.  However, looking at it another way I wish I'd taken a better career choice when I was younger.  I could have it all for nothing just like these freeloading scum bags.

A livingroom couch

If I was unemployed and pretended to be "depressed" I'd get a free house and some lovely drinking money every month.  Then all I'd have to do would be to go to the doctor once in a while and pretend to be upset and away we go.  That would be a nice easy life wouldn’t it?  But where’s the self respect and what about those of us who have some pride and want to contribute to this country?

These idiots are the reason why the decent members of society are taxed to the hilt for everything.

Anyone who thinks they are too ill or depressed to work should be shipped out to Africa and made to realise that maybe their life is not so bad after all.  After that they should be left there instead of being allowed back to sponge off the rest of us.

I have to comment on this even thought Nikki the spongers last comment was some time ago. She may think she is doing great on the benefits she is getting but I know that although she gets enough money to survive and have a holiday she has never and will never have the same standard of living as someone who works hard like myself. For example she may go to Ibiza but I go to the Maldives. She may only have to drag her kids to school in the morning but I have a lovely brand new car to do that in. She may have a house for free but mine will definatly be nicer with expensive good qualitly furniture etc not second hand past on stuff. She may have a group of friends who all do the same but she will not be able to have a proper conversation with them as they can only talk about rubbish for so long. She will not have experienced the passing of exams, buying her first house, preparing to start a family, special time spent with family who she is proud of. Although life is not about materialistic things I just wanted to point out that she's not as happy and loaded as she likes to think!!!!!

Nige,

The growing burden to the economy of supporting a social minority who fail to contribute one penny towards their upkeep will ultimately bring about the collapse of society that you dread.

What I am proposing is not to end benefits and allowances to those in need or who are too unfit and/or unhealthy to work but to end the "free lunch" culture by making benefits and allowances available in return for work effort on the part of those fit, capable and healthy claimants.

This is in strict contrast to what you envisage as the weak and infirm will continue to be supported by right.

Those that you suspect will turn to crime will have an alternative in the form of work whilst those who do turn to crime will quite rightly be punished. This is not the promotion of a police state but a society continuing to embrace the principles of the Welfare State whilst tackling the chancer head on.

Far from fracturing society I believe that this would lead to enhanced social cohesion and a sense of self and community respect.

Uncle Brizo,

To end benefits and allowances would be a downfall and a collapse to society. People need to eat and drink as a basic requirement and if they have no money, what are they going to do? I'll tell you what they'll do, they'll take what you have if it means entering your home. Chances are he has siblings and they don't come cheap.

Am sure you'd do the same in this situation for you have to live.

What you envisage is a Police State where it's the weak versus the strong. Then this would slide down to certain selected groups, just how Germany became in her Third Reich period.

You wrote 'the tax payer would start to realise some return on their hard earned tax payments'.

This is sure not to happen for they will find something to tax ex. 'Walking on the cracks of the pavement Tax'.

Your government is your biggest enemy here, don't ever expect any favours from them. You are still paying for the Millenium Dome......

If I had the authority I would end benefits and allowances being made to fit and healthy unemployed people regardless of how long the individual had been out of work.

Thereafter, if fit and healthy unemployed people wish to receive benefits or allowances they would be made to do an honest days graft on behalf of the community for an honest days pay. I am sure that this way the parasitic element within society would exist no longer and the tax payer would start to realise some return on their hard earned tax payments.

This would create a society in which the fit and healthy unemployed person was unemployed as a matter of choice. In the event that such individuals broke the law and used the excuse of unemployment I would ensure that they no longer were unemployed by sentencing them to a period of hard and arduous labour.

We should reap what we sow in this life.

Stevieboy it's a wind-up, this person does not exist, just here for a laugh. I don't believe for a minute this person is rreal. The DSS is a joke too, they don't know whether they are coming or going.

To Nikki...

If it means people like you starve and have nowhere to live, then GOOD! Maybe it will make you get of your lazy ass and contribute to the system instead of take, take, take!

Learn something, apply yourself, show some dedication and willingness and people will employ you, until then, I want my tax paid to go to things other than freeloading, parasitic wasters.

Also, as you are not too bright, you might want to know your IP address can be traced from your comments. I for one have already found it and sent details to the DSS, fraud department!
*Stevieboy  08-Jan-2008 19:11

 
I totaly agree with you,we are all getting fed up the parasites who live off the state.
*stumpy  08-Jan-2008 18:12

margo - if there was no benefit money how would out of work families live cos they have to eat and drink somehow. They will just turn to crime robbin and stuff and breakin into your home and sellin your stuff. They would steal anything to put some food on the table.

I don't have a job cos I dont want one and you get out of bed in the morn for me. In fact why are you typin here in work time now when you should be workin yer a slacker margo and need to nuckle down a bit cos yer draggin the country down.
