Lazy feckers the lot of them, and the kids are good for nothing trouble makers. They used to change their car every time the now abolished childcare supplement (can't think of its name) came out every quarter. Plenty of them around jayjay.

People I know would sooner work that draw down SW payments, I really think this thread is unfair and discrimative and should be shut down. I am suprised Buford, as you have stated in the past that you are not working at the moment. Sombody is running with the hare and hunting with the hounds...
Buford T Justice wrote: » See, this is an ignorant and trolling comment, and one of the reasons people find you nothing but argumentative. On the other hand, you have a bit of substance to what you are saying here, so I have no issue with this post and will reply to it. However you have no business casting aspersions or judgments against me. You know nothing about me. I am nothing like my neighbors. No, I'm not working at the moment. However, I am doing so not by choice. I was made redundant some time ago and have not been able to find decent employment since. Bear in mind the poverty trap prevents me from taking any old job, as I need to either: A) be able to afford childcare on the wages (unlikely) or be making enough so my oh can stay at home with the kids (again, not likely) So yes, I am unemployed. From a family of workers who have worked all their lives I find it difficult to sit at home and do nothing all day. I would much rather be working, as I firmly believe that its a man's role to provide for his family. People like this get every single benefit handed out to them. I pay my mortgage (Struggle) and my OH works, and I can't even get a fucking medical card. Holidays? Me? you must be joking, why do you think I built a campervan? yet these fuckers get to piss off on as many holidays as they want and never do a tap in their lives, change cars willy nilly, all the while I wonder how I'm going to make sure I have enough money to make sure the bills are paid each week. So please, remind me again how I'm running with the hare and hunting with the hounds?

Its the ones who NEVER worked, that I have a problem with! This man has SEVEN children? I have two children - reason being that I cannot afford more than TWO. I cloth and feed my children and don't expect anyone else to do it for me! You should only have the number of children that you can afford! A man & wife who never worked should not expect the State to pay for these off spring. The same goes for lone parents, fair enough any girl can get pregnant and have a child, but its when you see lone parents with 4/5 kids and expect the State to House them, provide when with a weekly income - there is rarely a sign of a father, who should be paying maintenance. I wouldn't mind, but they can get birth control on their Medical Card - another thing we are paying for, for them! They also got the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance - €200 each for the younger children and €305 for all the older ones! He actually said that this was the spending money for Lanzarote! The Welfare/Entitlement culture that exists in this country is a bloody joke! It has got to the stage that the spongers - who never worked in the boom are better off than most of us! My stomach is actually sick from re-reading this post! :mad:

My father worked hard all is life to set up a business which has been hit very hard during the recession. Because he was self employed he cannot claim the dole and now my mother works two jobs and my two sisters and I are also working to put our way through college.. It makes me sick to hear of these leeches who take advantage of the system for every little penny when hard working people who are unfortunate enough to be out of work have to suffer! :mad:

I am not having a poke at your circumstances, two years ago I was where you are now, and it's not a pretty place to be, I almost lost my house at that time. The point I was making was that on one hand you will stand up for people who are not working and knock them down again by saying they are '****ers'. I don't believe this guys neighbour is going to Spain and changing his car unless he is making money somewhere else and signing on. if this is the case and he is on the 'fiddle' then he has got to be reported. Having said that nobody wants to report sombody who is signing on and working, the mind boggles!
Buford T Justice wrote: » Thanks for your concern, but my blood pressure is fine. You're first comment was ignorant and trolling as I originally said, but I'm struggling to find my admission of the lack of understanding. I simply alluded to the interpretation I had of your comment. Can you point it out to me please? As I said, there are different types of unemployed people. People who don't want to work, and people who do. I form part of the latter.
In The Sticks wrote: » How do you define two diffrent types of unemployed people? how can you be 100% sure that the guy in front of you when you are signing on does not want to work??
In The Sticks wrote: » I agree with you also to a point, but Op is tarring all SW recipients with the one brush, people who are unemployed and who are working abuse the system, It is very hard to go to work and watch people on SW sit back and relax, or thats what you may believe. I am aware of a few friends of mine who are not working at the moment, at this very moment in time they would cut off their right arm to get back to work. it is soul destroying to see it, selfemployed and paye workers have also been known to scam the system, tax evasion etc, Its a little bit on both sides I think.
Buford T Justice wrote: » Very simple. I'm unemployed and I want to be working. I was working full time until I got made redundant, and should i get the opportunity again I will be back working full time again. I want to work. - Type 1 My neighbours have never worked that I know of. Even back in boom time when you could leave one job today and walk straight into another job. They both stayed at home on there benefits, changed their cars every quarter when the benefits came out, went away on sun holidays with their 5 kids every year..... They have no interest in working and are happy to stay on benefits. They do not want to work. Type 2 Is that clear enough?
