Winner, put a name to your nickname, mine is Pete what is yours ? stop hiding behind it.

Secondly, paying income tax does not give anyone the right to assume they can get it back in the form of benefits.

And thirdly, we tend to refrain from using the language you have used on this forum, such as calling me a dick head, firstly I find that bastos, and secondly, my reponse was not to your post, but to someone else's whose advice I found to be negative.

I was not aware of your circumstances, since you did not make the original post, it appears your wife did, I appreciate and understand you have also paid income tax, good for you, however, was it wise to have your wife asking for that kind of advice on a public forum, when you have already indicated that you are english born and bred, if that is the case, you yourself are fully aware of your rights and entitlements, such as maternity benefits and other state benefits.

You will have to forgive me for being outspoken on this issue, I am not familiar with state benefits, since I have never had to claim them, its is foreign and alien to me.

My views have always been very clear, perhaps that is what makes one or two of my posts here at this forum controversial, I don't mince my words, that is true, some people here will support my stance, others will not, that as Joe Blogs has rather brashly pointed out, free speech, you are entitled to your views, whether this is the 1st claim you have made in 20 years, does not interest me in individual cases, I am merely stating my opinion on the general policy of turning to the welfare state for assistance, so please do not seek to suggest I am personalizing this issue.

I am surprised winner (as you call yourself) that you chose to call me a ********, and "to get it out of my ass". I do hope you are man enough to send me a personal apology, since it is not the language I would have used when addressing you, especially as you are a stranger, and not someone known to me.

I will answer the other posts now...I await your private apology.
