Of course it exists. Why is that even a question? It has been stated government policy for years. It's hardly a secret.

They seem to be more worried about who is going to win the latest reality TV show rather than any financial concerns.

Perhaps the food stamps model should be employed there, welfare should not be used for cigarettes or alcohol period!
Has anyone ever mentioned to you that anecdotes are not research? |

How do you know those women weren't working full-time jobs or running their own successful businesses? You seem to be making a heck of a lot of assumptions about a heck of a lot of people.

Thank you very much. In the meantime, I'll practice talking in a deep voice.

I'm not fussy. Anything that lets me hide in the cellar and drink the wine will be most acceptable.

So, are you saying that declining a job offer and being lazy are the same thing? Pretty much yes when welfare offers the easier option but none of you are answering the question! Why are millions of Eastern Europeans doing jobs lazy Brits wont do and choose a life on welfare instead? |
