I'm so middle class..
That I can proudly claim I have never claimed benefits and only once spent time in jail for a crime of which I was later proved to be totally innocent.

I hate the attitude that has prevailed over the last 15 years
that there is no shame in teking benefits, of course there is, it shows that you have failed at supporting yourself.

What about child benefit?

(PsychoChomp, Mon 23 May 2011, 15:59, Reply)

Depends on what you earn really, as that the idea is to support the child
I probably shouldn't recieve it as chances are due to the taxes I pay it is simply a roundabout of money for no actual benefit.

obviously the above is a simplification, disability benefit etc etc should of course be paid under the correct circumstances.

if you can't afford kids without it then you shouldn't be having them

Agreed
But they just give it too you no matter what and who am I to turn down what I see as a tax rebate.

Exactly
I work hard and pay my taxes and expect my spawn to do the same. If they turn out to be a couple of scroungers I will be very surprised.

This is a good point
Population growth is important for an economy and especially for a country with growing elderly population. So whilst it may seen irritating to those who have no children the £20/week or whatever it is should technically be paid back in full.

Also
If a couple divorce and the custody is split equally between mother and father, the mother still gets the child benefit paid directly to her. So really its single mother scum that should fuck right off FATHERS FOR JUSTICE!!!!
( Peej, Mon 23 May 2011, 16:21, Reply)

Absolutely right.
I've split up from my ex. I have the kids 50% of the time. She gets the benefits and tax credits.

Load of pish. Fat minger.

100% agreed.
Benefits should be discouraged at every turn. A hard days work never killed anyone.

I went on the dole between finishing uni and getting a job.
It didn't take me long to discover that the dole is fucking shite, the people who work in the job centre are morons (with a couple of exceptions)

went and got some temp work instead. That was much better.

Does that count?

Although I may have to change my mind considering your post above

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 23 May 2011, 16:01, Reply)

I thought that might be the case

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 23 May 2011, 16:02, Reply)

I should point out at this juncture
That my name isn't Tarquin and also I'm not a real Rear Admiral
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 23 May 2011, 16:04, Reply)

I didn't think your name was Tarquin
judging by most people on here, your name is either Tom or Sam. Which is it?

I've never been on the dole
and despite being told by dolescum that "there ain't no jobs in Cornwall innit" I have always been able to get plenty of temp work whilst waiting for permanent jobs.
