Quick straw poll - the welfare £26K cap - good or bad?

I know whay your saying here, but I would still like the lazy c**t to get a job and show his poor children a better life. A holiday to cornwall would be a massive treat. We went to Bulgaria a few years back, and when his kids enquired as to Bulgaria's wherabouts, I told them its on the eastern edge of Europe, a few thousand miles away and we would have to fly there. They replyed with "we are going to moodiesburn on holiday". Moodiesburn is a feeder town to Glasgow, about 15 miles away. That lazy toad's brother lives there and was taking them for a week. How sad is that  :'( .

He is, believe it or not, a qualified motor mechanic and has an HGV Licence. I KNOW that a garage about 2 miles away are activley seeking 2 full time mechanics. WTF?

Its wrong, plain wrong. And I have to admit, In the summer I take great pleasure in washing my car and two motorcycles and peacocking them right out on the front driveway in the sunshine with the engines running, all like - bling, look at my bling, bling, look at my bling. Not that it is bling, but to that MF, it is  :lol

ONLY PERSON in the world I hate

Walk a mile in his shoes, then you'll be a mile away and you'll have his footwear (and some interesting fungal diseases too I suspect)

More seriously, he has probably discovered that in "T Blairs World" it simply isn't worth working for minimum wage to pay G Brown's taxes in order to make an extra £30 a week. Why should he while he sees "the rich" (and to him that means anyone with a posh car) making more than he can ever hope to earn. Meanwhile the state pays for his kids and the NHS solves his health problems and life is good.

He may not be socially responsible but as things stood in 2010 he is right. The Government's task is to make him wrong.

4WIW , I have discovered that the only good reason for having money (more than say £40K a year) is to fund healthcare that the NHS won't provide (like - jumping the cancer waiting list! ). Everything else can be funded out of £40K.
- Cars don't go faster or much smoother beyond about £2K
- Housing is cheap or free if you already own it.
- Expensive holidays are a bore when you've had 10 of 'em - might as well go to Cornwall for £1K.
- Good food can be bought for £50 a week each.
- A good night out can be had for £30.
- If you save any money, HMRC will take 40 percent of it when you die.
