Under 25's to lose housing benefit ?

[IDB1]

Chopper.. what percentage of the countrys houses (that survive on benefits) do you think you have seen?

Just for sh*ts and giggles..

Got a 36" telly my Mum gave us (it might be a 38, looks big..) .. she bought it new about 15 years ago.

The XBOX my Brother bought my kids the christmas before last.

Tellys in the kids rooms bought by my Mum.

Our last 2 washing machines.. £50 each, both from ebay.
Tumble dryer.. free from Mother.

No dog crap in the house.

8 bikes-ish in the shed, nothing posh.

I'm afraid to ask who pays for all these benefits, entitlements, housing benefits, under 25 top ups, etc.

I think he refers to the 'others'

I have to ask, how can you go from 60k a year to nothing and if I read right, no work for ten years+?

Dunno, but I've visited a noteworthy sample of a Midland towns social housing stock.

Possibly quite a small percentage across the country.

Just asking..

It's probably not a statistic anyone would consider trying to get accurate figures for.

Would be nice to have a whopping telly though.

Still and all, unless some one one here is a meter reader or similar, I'll have been in more such premises than anyone else.

How to mend Broken Britain?
Well none of it seems unreasonable to me

If any of you had benefit sponging freeloading, rutting, sprogpopping, 20 year old, foul-mouthed, neanderchav scum neighbours like mine you wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it.
The welfare system, in my mind is crippling this country and encouraging neighbours like mine.
What's fair about us working hard all our lives to make ends meet and then getting neighbours on an all expenses paid lifestyle with a better house simply by having a sprog, then follow up with a string of more sprogs cos they have nothing better to do.
They're not trapped, they choose it because it's given to them on a plate.

Out-of-work benefits linked to wages rather than inflation, if wages are lower
A cap on the amount people can earn and still live in a council house
Reduce the current £20,000 housing benefit limit
Stopping the out-of-work being better off by having children
Consider paying some benefits "in kind" rather than in cash
Expecting parents on income support to prepare for work while children have free nursery care
Getting the physically able to do full-time community work after a period out of work
Sickness benefit claimants should take steps to improve their health


We're now outnumbered (so don't try and tell me it's isolated cases) by baby-popping, never-worked, neighbours and their feral offspring make our lives purgatory and we're paying for it! All I can say is; thanks a bunch to all those holier-than-though narrow-minded do-gooders, I hope you get neighbours like mine sometime soon and can't move, sell, rent, sleep, live in peace safety security and decency and bring up your kids in a nice neighbourhood either.

Rant over, logging off.

Fantastic. Just learnt my neighbour is 4 months gone on her 5th sprog', from the latest drug addict she's been seeing.

Another doomed child destined to be dragged up as a commodity and inevitably to follow in her good for nothing mother's footsteps. At the taxpayers (our) expense!!

Reminds me of the intro' to the movie Idiocracy.

Humanity will be the end of Humanity!

Many benefits are taxed at source. The 'scroungers' are paying tax as well.

And that makes it ok?!?!? I LOVE your voodoo economics. :roll:

If I stop by your house and give you a hundred, then take a tenner off the top for gas to bring it round, you still have a free 90 that you did SFA for, and I have to hustle my arse back to work to earn the next hundred to give to you.

Thought you were not interested in any interaction with me?

If that still applies then please feel free to ignore my posts. If it doesn't with you, it still does with me so feel free to go take your head for a shit.

Just in case you need your memory jogged..

My friendship with Scott is irrelevant to my membership here.

Your friendship with Scott is relevant to any interaction you have with me. Ideally, that would be none.

mmmmmbop mofo.
