i did actually hear a group of girls in uxbridge discussing whether to have kids before or after their gcse's for this reasonand my cousin considered it. until her 16 year old brother had a kid and she realised that babies are fucking hard work. (she's the world's worst lesbian now.)
AND my friend's niece got up the duff at 18 and raged because it took the council a few months to find her a house. "i need my own space," she bleated, never having worked for more than a week in john lewis, which she quit because she "didn't like the uniform", but still thinking she was entitled to a house for nothing. her parents work their arses off, god knows where she gets it from.

When I look at the parties, I look for a leader. One who will speak his mind and not hide behind others. Farage seems the most likely out of all the candidates to do this.
I will admit I don;t know the pros and cons of Europe. I do believe we should never take on the Euro as currency.
I do believe we should tighten our immigration laws and only let people in who will give something to the country. Look how hard it is to get into Australia, and they seem to do just fine.

As I said, the problem that Kroney had, and that you evidently had too, is that you've completely failed to read my original post.I said I was fed up of people blaming benefit claimants, when, regardless of whether or not a tiny minority of such claims are fraudulent, they have had no meaningful impact on the problems we have experienced in the economy.
Those problems were caused by a collapse of the banking system which, regardless of whether you feel better regulation should have been brought in earlier, or since, was down to people working in those institutions being both criminals and incompetents. And yet nobody is blaming them or forcing through change.
In response to my assertion that I couldn't be bothered any more because I found people parroting the same lies over and over without any thought as to whether or not they were in fact lies, Kroney came out with this gem "This business of it being more lucrative to stay on benefits than to work for a living is patently ridiculous."
Now, as your attention span appears to be quite short I'll reiterate my original problem, that I find endless blaming of the benefits system, despite it not being even a minor contributory cause to the economic problems, to be very depressing and representative of a nasty selfish attitude which is seemingly impossible to change.
As I said to swipe below, it's not my job to gently cajole Kroney and explain the untrue things he's spouting, but I also don't want to just let him say it and reinforce his misguided opinion based on a lie.
He's not an idiot for having a different opinion to me, he's an idiot for believing that benefits somehow support a lavish lifestyle for lots of people who simply can't be bothered to work.
Does that clear things up?

There may well be some circumstances where a large familyare better off claiming benefits than working once you take into account factors like paying rent, council tax and childcare etc. I have seen a few myself. But the time comes when the last child leaves full time education, and then suddenly all that lovely free money dries up, and they're fucked, especially in the case of single parents (mostly mothers) who haven't worked for 20-odd years and suddenly find themselves having to jump through job hunting hoops.
Also, I'm out of work at the moment and have a flat screen TV. Which I bought 4 years ago, when I was working.

I'm not saying that the situation doesn't exist where some people will end up being entitled to a number of benefitsbecause of their kids etc.
What I've said is that the existence of a few people like that is not the reason we have a fucked economy. And taking steps to stop that tiny minority of people form getting as much money has the knock on effect of really, really hurting the majority of people who need some help so that they don't starve to death.

Apols for the delay, had to take my daughter to dance rehearsals.This may come as a surprise to you Al, but I fully understood both sides of the argument. Your condescending tone does you no favours though, as usual.
In regards to Kroney's post, I simply took it to mean that if an individual is better off on benefits than going to work, then that is a ridiculous situation. I didn't infer from it that it is a particularly widespread problem, but clearly in a small number of cases it does happen. I have known one or two cases myself.
I didn't see (unless there were deletions) Kroney saying that it was a widespread problem, or indeed that it was crippling the economy.
