I think these girls should be given the incentive to get out of the poverty trap by being able to earn more working then they do on benefits. Most people on benefits can only get minimum wage so they end up getting less money working then they get from the government. Lots of dolies i know are experts in the benefits system.

Re: More reasons to leave the uk
I think working people (middle england as the MP's call it) find it gauling that they pay for everything..and then you get some halfwit on trisha in the morning saying that he needs to earn £300 a week to make it work for him...£300 when he has the IQ of a pair of socks.... I dispair

Re: More reasons to leave the uk
Personally i think there is some sort of national psychosis going on in the uk. We're made to feel guilty about being British, too proud to be Europian, we cant stand Bush but were in his back pocket.
Our national identity seems to lurk at the bottom of the twentyfith pint of beer. Living in this country seems now to be more a question of survival than quality of life, for the seventh richest country in the world these economic and social problems are just absurd.
Sorry to bitch about this but the Uk has taken the values of social justice and applied them to the rest of the world then forgotten about its own population.
My brother and I were both taken out of school and taught at home because of the god awful schools we went to, the culture of celebrating ignorance has become too ingrained in every level of society.
We're all told we can be pop stars so is it any wonder we feel resentful having to scrub the toilet.
But must'nt grumble eh.

I thought selling The Big Issue was a job.Did you ever stop to think that maybe their shoes could have been donated? or perhaps they're a gift from someone? or that the wearer bought them from a charity shop?
