I got the princely sum of £60 per week. out of that I had to give my friend £45 a week board & lodgings. which left me £15 to buy anything else I needed, keep the 90 insured and pay busfares (£1.50 to the city centre) etc. Obviously as everyone else's neighbours are raking it in I must be living in the wrong town.

You don't know how to play the system. The guy next to us has not worked in over 30 years yet can afford to go to the pub EVERY day for 4 hours. Others in the area I speak to are happy if the 'extras' in their life consist of sky sport and cheap booz on a friday night. They don't want anything else so why work? No aspirations is the problem.
lambert:
An idea put forward to me was for the state to only provide financial support to parents for their first live birth, be that one child or more to allow for twins etc, but after the first birth you are on your own. This could be complemented by neutering those who would still be inclined not to work.
As for immigration wasn't there a study out that said that economic migration was down due to growth and stability in former eastern european countries?

robert francis:
i cant belive what people get on benifits either, but then you look at the new houses they get and all the beifits they can now claim, your better off on the dole,
i think if 16 yr olds cant find a job within a certain time they should have to go to the army atleast that way they earn there cash or get off there lazy arses and get a job.
if it carries on this place will be in the s++t badly
