| Quote: El Barbudo "I am utterly astonished at the lack of sympathy, empathy, humanity or imagination in this response.
I strongly suspect that you haven't, not as a participant on the luckless side anyway.
So, because it's worse somewhere else, that makes it fine here?
We should driving the lower-paid even further down in order to further enrich the already wealthy should we?
I mean, "true" poverty is non-existent in the UK so there's plenty of room for further exploitation isn't there?
If only everyone were as tough as you, eh?
Tell me, do you have any compassion in you at all?
If so, please tell us what it takes to elicit your sympathy.'"
I have plenty compassion for those who are genuinely in need. It's the wasters who opt for benefits as a lifestyle choice that I have no sympathy for.

But how do you know the genuine ones from the "wasters"? Are you a curtain twitcher who knows everyones business or you just know that the next door neighbours girlfriends cousin has a 50inch plasma screen, goes on foreign holidays 41 weeks a year, has a "free car" and has an immaculate garden so they can't possibly be disabled?
Benefits are a life style choice for me as I can't earn a decent living by working.
I'm just curious how you can come to that conclusion without knowing everyones business??

Surely in this day and age most people can? I don't know your circumstances, but you are clearly capable of typing on a PC. There must be work that you can do?
I think you also might have given yourself away a tad with the word "decent".
Why should the taxpayer fund people who decide not to work as they can't, in their opinion, earn a "decent" living.
Surely if they can earn ANY living, then they should be doing it? The benefits are the safety net if all else fails.

No. I haven't.
You have posted about how sad the Pussy Riot trail outcome is, how bad it is for democracy.
Ergo you are claiming to know/care about freedom of speech.
Ergo you should know about the Twitter joke trial.
Ergo you should be able to understand the point made here.

| And that just shows your ignorance. I have a disease that causes severe fatigue so I am tired a lot which bears no relevance if I can type or not.

You misquoted me. All I am asking is for that to be removed.
Ergo Thanks.

You really are a twerp. Although your sig is a constant reminder of that, were it required.
As for taxpayer funding things, why should the taxpayer help fund the luxurious lifestyles of many others? Bosses of companies who don't pay a decent wage, for instance, leaving the taxpayer to subsidise their profits.
Companies that refuse to pay their due tax.
Companies that accept subsidies from the taxpayer - and then rip off the public to gain ever great profits.
The amount spent bailing out the corrupt, gambling banks was so far in excess of what is lost in benefit fraud that people like you crying about it is simply pathetic and tawdry, and indicative of massive gullibility.

I have never revealed which political party I support.
Well my world involves going out and working to generate taxes to keep people who don't in benefits.
I would say that's the real world wouldn't you?

| No the real world for me is injecting a cancer drug every week, having to go to hospital once a month for infusions, napping most of the day, not being able to physically walk far, having to have spouse help you wipe your bottom, being so out of it on morphine, having 3 prosthtic joints and having an ankle fused.
That's the real world for me that live everyday. You are an ignorant and arrogant man if you believe people like me don't deserve any help after paying into the system for nearly 20 years.
And show me where I said you were a tory? But you have certainly implied it.

Firstly, irrespective of your politics I sympathise with your condition, I honestly do.
Right, now your use of "rest of the Tories" implies that I am one myself.
I might be, I might not be, but you don't know for certain.
I also did not say that people in your position don't deserve help. If you have paid in AND are in the situation that you find yourself in, I would think that you should be first in the queue for help.

What if she hadn't "paid in"? Would she deserve no help?
