now to be serious for a minute I'm thinking of a way to find one of em an easy job so when the L.S.V.find and dismiss the steward who verbally abused that poor lady who wrote to the reporter last week they can take his place cos they only have to be half fit to do that job

Well, it was almost a minute

I am not a Con-Demed fan either but the fact that they are going to make it that people will not be better off claiming than working has to be a good thing as long as its aimed at those that are work shy .The thing that annoys me immensely is those that know how to work the system and end up being better off than the hard working people ie when on benefits you don't pay for anything unlike people that work who usually pay for all the services ,there's steam coming out of my ears as i type What i don't understand however is the fact that a person earning over 42,000 will not be able to get child benefit but if 2 people from same family earn say 38,000 each meaning 76,000 coming into the household they can

The cost involved in gathering everyones salaries and constant changes would be a costly adminstrative nightmare, which would make it a waste of time. The number of families this will affect 'unfairly' I would say is very very small, and it has already been stated that some other help would be forthcoming to stay at home mums.

I'm no Tory (or Lib Dem either), but so far I am liking what they are trying to do so far tbh.

Good on em. Get after the lazy scrotes that play the system.

I know a few who claim disability benefit and there`s nowt wrong with em......why should these people get extra money and sit on their backsides while others have to work, the people who are claiming the top benefits (fraudulently) are usually better off than people who work their knackers off for a living.
Catch em and make em repay all the extra money they have had over the years I say.

Well contact the relevant agency and let them investigate their claims.

But they're supposed to be bringing in a universal credit for benefits, so surely it could come under that.

the guy next to me has not worked in TWENTY years, claims disability, yet has built an extension on to his house, a brick garage and a wooden shed.....all done with his own bare hands.

he does his main shop in the local newsagent, paying over the odds for everything, including his 200 ciggies a week.

the locals despise him, have grassed him up many times, yet he's still extracting the xxxx, and his son has just left school, and knows all the dodges already

Exactly the same view as myself. At least they are listening to what people want from the government.
I was spitting blood a couple of years back when I was in Quality Save and I heard two scrotes with a million kids each talking and one said to the other 'I can't wait for my child beefits this month, i've got my tax and insurance for the Land Rover up this month and I will be able to go out at the weekend'.
