Benefits Street

[Nick]

What are you talking about? Do you have any good reason whatsoever to believe this or are you just interested in making sensationalised comments to attract attention?

 

Far too many drama queens in political discussions.

Too true - but let a poetic young man have a beer........

[The People's Hero]

Missed this and I'm pleased. Food vouchers are the way forward. Food vouchers and forced steralisation. The great irony is they want everything for free apart from the free education on offer.

Cant they dance for the money?

Trust me, you would not want to see any of this lot dancing.

[Captain...]

Didn't see the show, but I don't need to see it to know there are cvnts at the bottom taking advantage of the state, and there are cvnts at the top exploiting the cvnts at the bottom for their own means, and then the cvnts with the money and the power exploiting those cvnts at the top, then there are the cvnts that profit from all of this by making sensationalist TV and newspaper headlines and exploiting the cvnts glamourising and demonising them simultaneously.

 

Basically there are too many cvnts around, that will be our legacy, be the biggest and best cvnt possible and you will be ok.

If I was in charge I'd force the lot of them (adults) into a continual programme of the riskiest medical experiments, the bodies of the ones that die off provide food for the surviving until the lot of them are wiped out. Their bones are used to build a school for the children

You cvnt.

[Captain...]

You cvnt.

 

The biggest of the lot, I just sit back and moan and do fvck all about it.

 

You got ex-pat shield or anything so you can access channel 4od or iplayer from over there?

[Rincewind]

As someone said it was just one street. It also was only 4/5 families in the street. I wonder how many refused to appear because they did not want to be tarred with the same brush. it was just sensational TV pandering to the converted. much the same way the media does.  I cannot see those in power blackening the reputation of those that fund their campaigns.

I've decided to go horse racing today so I'm sat in the Royal Standard at the minute.

A disappointing lack of characters so I'm going tp head to the tavern for one.

My view is that everyone is a cvnt. It just varies by degrees.

 

I do indeed, I'll catch a look at it at some point. Need to update the miniblog too, just been a lot of shite going on over here recently.

[cityfanlee23]

Makes me sick.

 

Most of them are just Lazy bastards.

 

 

Absolutely No excuse for most people on the dole.

 

Start a business stop expecting everyone else to give you it.

 

Typical british (Sometimes), The only thing that works is the mouth.

 

 

 

Some have real genuine reasons, but the majority just ****ed their lives up by being complete dickheads from an early age.

Probably the best post in this thread really.

"It makes people out as complete scum."

 

Pretty sure they're doing that themselves.

[AndWhat?]

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

It's the scumbag cycle of life, guarantee their parents were scumbags and their kids will grow up to be scum bags.

Either need to wipe out an entire generation of scumbags to break the cycle or sterilise everyone with a below average IQ.

Or give people more incentive to work.

 

I agree that a cycle exists but I don't believe that it can't be broken. Give the children a chance, help them out and hope they don't copy their parents.

So instead of genocide we could try and help them?

I've never even given that idea a thought.....

I like it.

[MooseBreath]

Helping them to help themselves is the only way to fix it (assuming genocide is still generally frowned upon). Cut the benefits, give them no choice but to find or create work, watch as their self-esteem rises and they pull themselves out of the underclass within a couple of years.

We can surely no longer be in any doubt that supposedly 'altruistic' socialist policies are used in effect as nothing but tools to keep these people down. The only legitimate way of helping these people is not to give them more, but to give them less. Force them out of the cycle. Give them no other choice.

Yeah realise what I said looked rather silly in context. Just against the idea that there's a permanent 'underclass' (hate that word) that one can't break out of as Mr Genocide was suggesting.

[cityfanlee23]

I think people like them should be made to evaluated all of their outgoings, food and drink etc.

 

then be given the amount they need, Any more they have to apply for it.

 

Not "Ahh we will give you £150-200 per week, And let you live on bread for a month saving yourself a nice kitty of a few hundred, to then blow on drugs"

You can't help the majority, they are lazy cvnts.

 

There are over 550,000 jobs currently advertised in the UK.

 

So probably 650,000+ if you add unadvertised.

 

Why are those Fvcking jobs there then?

 

Before I went into business, I left school to become a plumber as an apprentice, 2 weeks before I started the company went bust, And I had missed the college applications for plumbing.

 

So I was forced to get an emergency job, because at 16 I had the right ethos, I couldnt see it viable that I live off my mum and was determined to work to become self sufficient.

And actually be a decent human being and not a complete lazy fvcking w4nker like most of the teenagers you see in town nowadays.

 

I went to the job centre, and there were about 30 pages of jobs available in my small town of Newmarket, Suffolk.

 

I didnt go for one, I went for a management training course in my local waitrose for a few years before leaving to learn the skills of self employment from a local businessman.

 

I worked hard, and give my money away to arseholes. (In most cases) although there are genuinely people that need help.

Most of them are just self unemployed.

 

By being wasters.

 

 

As I said, probably 600,000+ jobs available right now. Unemployment is 3-4x that. but would be alot less if 600,000 got off their arse.

currently there are 1.27m on job seeker allowance.

Problem is our government make it too easy. and they earn more through every benefit they can grab than taking that job available.

 

My opinion on it is very black and white.

If you can get a job. Get one.

If you cannot physically work. fair enough.

 

If you can and decide not too. send them to the army.

 

Or here is a better plan.

 

Thos lazy fvckers that don't want to work, Give them a broom stick, let them sweep the streets for their drug money.

[Saxondale]

Glad I didn't watch this. It would have made me very angry and I may well have broken something or attacked someone.

[Captain...]

Great stat, could you clarify how many of them are unskilled and require zero experience? Perhaps give a break down of location or any physical restrictions. You could also give a breakdown of the skill sets of all 2.39 million to show how they all so neatly fit into every available job.

 

But you are right why don't the 2.39 million unemployed take these 550,000 jobs, then everything would be right with the world.

 

Nobody is denying that there are scrounging idiots sponging off the state, but to lump everyone on benefits as so is the same as treating all football fans as criminals because of the actions of a few.

[ADK]

To get JSA you need to show you are seeking work.

 

So either there are not actually that many real jobs for people or the system that this government has presided over is doing a crap job of ensuring people are actually seeking work.
