Benefit claiming people that wont work
Benefit-claiming council estate residents

Claiming benefit and not working

I'm sure there's some people who, for whatever reason, genuinely require benefits or disability payments and can't work. Perhaps there are also those who find themselves taking council homes because it's the only choice.



I think that society would be better off without a large majority of the benefit-claiming, council estate cases in this country. Why should we pay to keep them in the style they have so clearly become accustomed to?
