23 benefit cheats in a single court in one day

[Ako Si Jamie]

Ok if they can afford it, but if that means they have to get hand-outs from the State (other people who working that is) then they know what to do, share with others until they can pay their own way and not be a drain on the rest of us.

So they have to share their bedroom with a complete stranger now?

No of course not, they can sponge off the rest of us and live the life of Riley

If the government gave a proper incentive for going to work the amount of benefit cheats would decrease.

Life of Riley? Don't believe everything that's written in the tabloids.

I guess you know that my idea of a proper incentive would be:- choose not to work (if any work is available) then choose to be hungry.

At 16 (1956) I can remember having to work very hard (48 hour week) for a very low wage (apprentice engineer) and then choosing to give my mum half of what I earnt towards my keep. No moaning about minimum wages, or my rights, social security etc.
