Also worth considering I pay enough as it is and most of it is wasted on civil servants and red tape. Perhaps if they run their finances better and more people got off of their arse to contribute rather than take, we could ALL be better off.

I have spent my life voting against selfishness, but as my last years/days arrive, and I have scarcely ever been out of work, or even sick, I find myself almost agreeing.
Having said that, if statistics are to be believed, there are less people than ever unemployed. So, genuine question, who are all these people who should get off their arses?

The current goverment seems to make it all to easy for people to claim benefits because they have a bad toe or decide their career should be to produce a batch of chav kids who will in turn produce their own batch at a tender age. They will also then have no intention of working because why should they, after all their great grandfathers budgie paid tax working down the mines so they have done their part for society!!!

I'm not entitled to a penny in credits, apparently - I worked too much overtime and saved too much; but I may have friends/relatives who are getting my share, so I mustn't laugh out loud!
