Something's not right

Thespoofer

Here is a list of the benefits to not working, going to jail etc which I'm having a small rant over, feel free to add any

In jail ;

Free accommodation

Free food with a choice

Free tv and entertainment

Possibility to further education to a getting a degree

Free use of high standard gym equipment

Free dental and health care

Paid money on leave

Must be housed when released

If enough time built up behind bars, entitled to back to work, education and enterprise schemes which is essentially the majority of their dole paid on top of their dole plus extras for a number of years

Not working ;

Free money

Rent allowance allowing them to live in the same type houses as hard workers indefinitely

If they feel like not paying rent, could take up to a couple of years to get them evicted, then move on to the next property

Entitled to state housing similar if not same as private paid accommodation when eventually housed

Cheap gym fees ( funnily this one really gets my back up ) , if I want to join a gym as a worker must pay full and sometimes expensive prices and because of work can't go until late in the evening if I'm lucky where ' dolies ' can swan in and out more freely

Get to stay in bed in the morning, I get up at 5-5.30

And before anyone starts about dole bashing or whatever I do think a safety net is needed but the whole system is so messed up ... I'm really beginning to think who's the fool here.

Hande hoche!

I could come over and assault you in the shower if you're feeling hard done?

People on the dole get cheap gym fees?

Fine, quit your job or commit a crime. Problem solved. Both yours and ours.

Well who's stopping you leaving your job and going to prison?

Go ahead if it's so great.

A few down by me, yes.

I don't think any of those things you listed are necessarily a problem. I think the problem is that you see prison as better than living freely.

You are giving up the ability to move where you want, get married, have kids, etc.

Sure death is a great alternative too. Don't have to pay taxes then.
