I agree with this in part
As the person above said, there are people who push out another child when their eldest turns 11, so they don't have to work. They moan that the government doesn't pay them enough, but have a packet of fags and a Plasma TV in their possession. They get Sky TV, contract phones (though sometimes that is cheaper in the long run) and shop from magazines.

One of my friends has never worked a day in her life and has 7 children, and fully expects the government to fork out if she has more. Another, when working out the bit on a form that says 'the amount the law says you need to live on', appealed with a list including 'alcohol and cigarettes'. She called me a hypocrite when I said that the government will pay to help her give up smoking, because I smoke. Difference is, I earned my money.

I don't have a problem with genuinely disabled people, but if you have no intention of getting a job (and are capable of working), then investigations should be done. When I lived in a hostel, I heard these people saying 'why should I get a job?'.

They make me mad. McDonalds is NOT too good for them. And has anybody else noticed that phantom backache is rising?!
