Default All that is wrong in the UK

These two reprebates epitomise all that is wrong with broken Britain. Yes I know it's reported in the Mail, it was also reported in several other rags and now they have even been on TV trying absurdly to justify their existence.

I especially like the bit... "If he went to work, he would be out working , not spending time with me or his family"

Amazing sense of entitlement.

'Neither have any qualifications' yet they blame the system. They also seem to be under the impression that the tax and NI payment are some sort of deposit account they can draw on. Wonder if they have claimed rather more than they paid in?

The welfare system is a wonderful thing but for those who are unable to work, not those who don't feel like it.

Depressing.

Dont be fooled by the propaganda , it's the system that creates the whole situation . A system that has been created to keep people in this situation , a system that continues to be carried by all parties and leaders whilst funding the inhabitants of the St James drinking dens !

The Mail loves to create the partisan 'us and them' story . The whole planet works on the same concept .

It massively Irks me that my mother in her 50's who works 10 hours a day (And has worked all her life) takes home less money than them. By the time she has paid mortgage, the car she needs to get to work and bills I guarantee she has less disposable income than layabout dole scum. It is a good job some people have a work ethic and pride in themselves as I am sure she would be better off not working and selling her car. Able bodied people should be made to work for their free handouts.

Divide and Conquer!

Too easy to earn more by not working - they're a product of their environment.

Then perhaps benefits shouldn't be paid to those who turn down jobs? If work is available - and paying a similar level - then there should be no option to choose to sit on your backside all day. Can't he get a second job to make up the money as many do?

If money wasn't being paid to those that really needed it, then perhaps there would be more for those in real need? Yes, I realise it isn't that simple but people with the kind of attitude demonstrated by these two, really annoy me.

Benefits should be a reward for work in the local community in these cases.

Cut them so they have to work OR let them have it but work part time cleaning the streets and generally being decent humans.

The UK is borrowing money to give to people that don't need and who are not entitled to it .

Here's the Polish view on it .....

Truly shocking. I feel ashamed of my country.

In the UAE they'd get a free 5 bed villa and a job paying 20k USD a month that they never need to go to.
