    Was listening to the Adrian Kennedy phone show last night which I rarely do and this topic just infuriated me. It was about people who don't work and claim benefits on children, cash in hand, single parents with partners raping our tax money and being ****ing proud of it. And some of the people on it were just mind boggling, absolute scum of society with not ONE brain cell in their head. This is what I gathered from there perspective.

    * They think everyone should do it (Even though the country would fall apart)
    * They really don't have a breeze where the money comes from (Thin air maybe?)
    *They are proud of stealing it (Maybe because they were bred into it)

    Not one of them could hold an arguement without threatning other callers or saying "Eeexxxxcuuussee meeeee, who are ya callin a nagger??" few more gems

    " It's my money liiikkkeee"
    "So whaaa? I gotta put food on the table for meee 7 kids"(Birth control love children aren't an extra wage for your drug habbit)
    "I pay for what I have" (No you don't WE do you just collect"

    Rant over, but really the system is as braindead as these scumbags are. Hate having to pay a cent out of my hardv earned ****ing money to this.

    Quit your job and go on the dole then.

    Media will always blow these sorts of stories out of all proportion to the actual problem for one reason and one reason only: they know it means paper sales, webpage hits, or more listeners, and that means more ad revenue.

    For every one skanger they dig up who's abusing the system, there are plenty of people who genuinely need this assistance at a difficult time.

    Fear, anxiety, and barely repressed hatred of others who people think are doing 'better' than them, or having an easy life while they slave away at their soul-less 9 to 5 cubicle life-ender, are what is driving this sort of paranoia.

    Try to relax and enjoy life a bit more.

    Yea yea yea... all people on social welfare are scum, we are all junkies and alchos. For my breakfast I had a shot of heroin, can of dutch gold and ate a small child. We are all scum who want to rape your women and steal the eyes out of your head. We are all convicts, have been or will be in prison soon, bla bla bla. We hear the sh1t every day... it's getting old.

    I concur lets round up everyone that's on a welfare payment and exterminate them.

    What's worse is the shoe scroungers who buy cheap shoes and sneer at Pighead whenever he buys a good solid expensive pair of shoes.

    Pighead wouldn't mind but their scrounging isn't actually good scrounging. It's actually costing them money! False economy in the extreme. Pighead buys his good solid shoes in January for lets say €120. The false economist points and sneers at Pighead saying something like"Oh look at Mr Fancy Pants with his fancy shoes. You're impressing nobody ya prick. I got these shoes in town and they only only cost me €25."

    A year later Pighead is still wearing his fancy shoes while the false economist meets him in town again and sneers "I see you're still wearing your fancy shoes ya horrible posh freak" The thing is he's calling Pighead these horrible names as he's heading into the shoe shop to buy his 6th pair of cheap shoes since he last seen Pighead. Unbelievable these people.

    Why doesn't Adrian Kennedy go into social services? Now that would appear to be the right man for the job. He talks a good game.

    OP, why you listening to this show? It teaches hate - just like the Mail, the Indo, Sky News...

    Life's too short.

    Never gets old does it?

    yes it does

    By all means continue to moan about it online though, rather than trying to do something about IRL

    I enjoy working?Go mad without it...and it's not all the media we all know people who take the piss outta the welfare and it is a real problem as the country hasn't got the money to keep paying it. Of course there is a bit of jealousy that they get all the money and benefits while hard working people loose their houses but ah well lets just all forget and enjoy life until everthing goes completely bust and we end up like the 3'rd world!

    lol at the people thinking I meant everyone on the dole. :rolleyes:

    Read the posts folks, instead of jumping to irrational positions.

    Finally...

    I've been saying this for years.
    It's nice to have one of the "lowers" admit it for a change.

    I must remember to remind Jeeves that he owes me 5 more years of service after that bet..

    He's not having a pop at people who lost their jobs and are currently unemployed Brennan Uneven Nap.
    It was about people who don't work and claim benefits on children, cash in hand, single parents with partners raping our tax money and being ****ing proud of it.

    There are lots of good workers without jobs these days through no fault of their own but he was referring to people who collect the dole and commit fraud by working cash in hand and are proud of it.

    Sums up that show perfectly.
    Not to mention the other gems:
    "C'mere an' I'll tell ye..."
    "D'ye seeEEEe youuu... <insert insult here>"
    and the one that never gets old...
    Adrian: "There ye are now <name>, what do you think of that?!"

    They really need to give people 30 seconds to make their point, then kick them off the air instead of keeping them on to win a shouting match.
    I heard a radio talk show years ago from the UK that implemented this policy mercilessly... it was actually pretty decent.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    You called?

    The problem with the OP is not that welfare fraud/unnecessary abuse shouldn't be pursued to its final (hopefully violent) conclusion, its that sh*theads like Kennedy continue to make welfare reform a divisive issue. Prodding the left into apology is unproductive, the focus should be on diverting public service deadweight into monitoring, means testing and prosecution.

    i read quite a few of the replies, i just read in the independent, that alot of the double welfare payments etc are going to cease, aswell as child welfare etc being cut! atleast there is some justice!

    Ehhhhhhhh ... I'm thinking to myself that based on this quote you have never looked into where money does come from. I think you might just be surprise to know that money does indeed come from Thin Air ....

    Simply that we as a nation are saddled with the debt it creates ...

    Because of the below facts

    • The rich and powerful take more from us than the scroungers could ever do.
    • Government policy to spout out these welfare stories in the papers and turn the riff raff against each other seems to be working.
    • Why only now do people give a crap about it? What about the good times when Canny Mcsavvy did not give a crap since they were busy flipping gaffs like burgers at McD's
    So i say that they are perfectly entitled to the support of our welfare system. And i have no problem with that ...

    ... but i do have a problem with people that feel it is there pocket that is being robbed and the Welfare Recipient is Enemy Number 1 ...

    Get real people ... think IMF, ECB, Big Business ... Income taxes FFS!!!

    This is the game we are in and do you know what ????

    If the big guys can hit the PRINT button on the Presses , i say Fair fcuks to these scroungers !!! They have their own mini printing press and are winning at this big game (funny thing is they are to stupid to realise that) ...

    My rant overrrrrrrrr

    My point?

    Look up not down ... that is where the real problem is :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    **** that throw them in prison - if they are commiting fraud throw them in prison. If not lower the levels of benefits over time to discourage dependency.

    Saying we should look up and not down is ridiculous. There are hundreds of thousands on the dole in Ireland (heading toward 500,000 if I recall correctly). Benefits in ireland are among the highest in europe and need to be lowered.

    No one has said we should let the developers or banks etc off the hook, or that we somehow have to choose between a few crooks at the top of the system or a few hundred thousand on the dole.

    But you cant fix the deficit by ignoring the hundreds of thousands on benefits - MANY of whom have been for years and ARE raping the system. The radio shows may present a distorted perspective in terms of the percentage of recipients who are fraudulent but that does not mean that benefits fraud does not happen - it does and needs to be addressed.

    Lol...yeah thats right turn a blind eye and blame the capitalists why dont you. to be fair to them at least they do something,anything for they're money. plus they dont usually try and assault you when you walk past them.

    The scroungers who do nothing for their money are symptomatic of the attitude that pervades many parts of our society i.e. **** everyone else im out for me and ill take everything I can get. The reason this attitude exists is because we, as a country, do nothing to dissuade or discourage this type of behaviour. Indeed we reward it. So these people who feel they are entitled to do nothing and receive everything will continue to do so. because we havent the guts to stop it.

    so everyone who gets pissed off behind their computer should actually do something about this. not just be typically irish and moan about it to our friends then forget about it.
