The British Government freak over £6.50!
Seriously, the jobcentre I went to asked me when I started work, and I said x date. Got it wrong by a DAY and they started going on at me, saying how it's fraudulent and a lot of other bullshit. I had to sit and take it all, because apparently, it being in the middle of a science experiment is not an excuse for not dropping everything to get a date right.

What I'm trying to say is how much have the government screwed you up lately?
(I helped save b3ta! Methylene Blue - electrohead, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:24, archived)
That £6.50
would be part of the £10,000 or so I pay in tax each year.

It's mine, give it back you scrounging cunt.

You'll have to fuck me for it.

She's welcome to mine
I was only going to waste it on drugs and music.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:33, archived)
Actually
if you add in the amount you shell out in VAT and alcohol duty, it's a staggering amount of tax.

I probably feed Abu Hamza for about three months.
(I helped save b3ta! Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:36, archived)
I comfort myself with the fact that the only reason I pay a staggering amount of tax
is because I earn a staggering amount of money and drink a staggering amount of booze.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:39, archived)
It is a good point
I dont even worry that much about tax any more since the only things I cant afford are wasteful peices of shit that I would be bored of within a month.

*wipes arse with £50 note*
(I helped save b3ta! Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:43, archived)
It probably cost more than £6.50 to give her the bullshitting.

(I helped save b3ta! Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:25, archived)
I pay taxes.
The end.
(I helped save b3ta! Bud Muhnquai Update your profile or fuck off, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:25, archived)
I do!
It's just I was on JSA for about 2 months. Not exactly a lifetime of drugs taking is it?

I am guessing thats the dole on not the Korean Border.

Job Seekers Allowance.
They also equip you with a net and a spear, for job hunting.

Loincloth optional.
(I helped save b3ta! Bud Muhnquai Update your profile or fuck off, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:31, archived)
surely in this day and age
they'd equip you with something a little more hi-tech than a loincloth
(Just Harry What should I put here?, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:33, archived)
Spandex boob-tubes for the ladies.

it's a polyster/teflon/acrylic blend once
so it's drip-dry and non-iron.
How much more modern can it get?
(Dangermouse., Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:36, archived)
Nah, it's *Jobe* Seekers' Allowance.
You get issued with a realistic otter costume.

I would do that for free
just to see the look on his face. It would be like trigger happy TV.

We should all dress up like that for the Christmas bash, without telling him first.
And then act completely normally when he enters the pub. That'd be great.

I hope he isn't lurking now.
(I helped save b3ta! Mr. Tea Dmedff, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:43, archived)
You'd all walk into a pub
dressed as otters ?

You'd be beaten to death with spades.

Took my (pikey) mate a month for that to go through! And it only covered 1/3 of his tuition fees

LETS GET THE GOVERNMENT TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING FOR US!!!!!one

(I helped save b3ta! SuperMatt, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:28, archived)
Yes let's have free education.

(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:29, archived)
What?
And allow people from a low-income background to get decent jobs?! Preposterous!
(I helped save b3ta! The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:30, archived)
This whole country was founded on poor people never rising above their station
let's keep it that way.
(I helped save b3ta! SuperMatt, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:31, archived)
Yes.
Well ... apart from our commerce and banking being almost entirely built by penniless immigrants and the cannon fodder in every major battle being made up of dull-witted povs. Yes.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:36, archived)
It takes a damn sight more
than just free education in any case.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:36, archived)
Indeed.
Keep them in their place. We wouldn't want anyone from a poor background not staying poor for the rest of their lives.

I'm not the person to accuse of that

what science experiment?
are you an experiment?

Nailing a monkey to a wall by its ears
and forcing it to smoke fags and drink shampoo.

sounds more like a stag party

(I helped save b3ta! Methylene Blue - electrohead, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:30, archived)
Just chromotography
But it was the college rules more than anything. Can't ditch an experiment for them.
(I helped save b3ta! Methylene Blue - electrohead, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:29, archived)
Most of that made some sort of sense
until you got to the 'science experiment' bit.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:27, archived)
Ah
When they rang to ask me when I started work, I was doing an experiment, so I was using borrowed time. I think one day off was pretty good thinking seeing as I was timing and stuff.
(I helped save b3ta! Methylene Blue - electrohead, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:28, archived)
Start again at the beginning, then add a dash of SENSE.

(I helped save b3ta! Bud Muhnquai Update your profile or fuck off, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:30, archived)
Righto then.
It's a rule of being employed by the tax or benefits departments that you must regard all other human beings as thieving scum and assume that any minor mistake is an attempted crime. It's the same rule for people who work for the privatised rail companies.

Why do you get free prescriptions?
Are you live in Wales?

I have type 1 diabetes.
It's not much of a consolation but hey ... look at all these free needles!

Yes
I find it appaling that people who don't want babies can get abortions for free, any time they like, but people with skin complaints can't get the creams for free.
(I helped save b3ta! Methylene Blue - electrohead, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:32, archived)
Well they either have to pay for an abortion
or pay for a flat and child benefits. I guess they see it as cost effective in the long run.

(I helped save b3ta! Methylene Blue - electrohead, Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:30, archived)
aaaha, ok
"the jobcentre I went to" led me to think you'd actually gone there.
I'd be tempted to pop in and explain it in person, maybe in writing, and ask them to make the adjustments accordingly.
That way you can get out to work and not bother them again
(Dangermouse., Thu 12 Oct 2006, 12:34, archived)
Ah, I mean "went to" as in "I no longer claim benefits"
I've done that now, after having to take a day off college to prove I'm not trying to steal £6.50 for smack from my pimp.
