    It's obvious that the recession is going to be long and hard; after all we've had decades of conmen and fraud in the boom.

    So now those who've given least to society must bear the heaviest burdens.

    Prisoners: bread and dripping and cold water for ablutions. As many to a cell as will fit.
    'Can work, won't work' types: Cut in all benefits by 75% until there are zero job vacancies in their town.
    Chav mums: no child benefits for third or subsequent children affective tomorrow
    Illegals: Deportation within 48 hours, suspend UK membership of 'umin rights nonsense
    Council jobsworths: immediate ban an all public sector overtime payments.

    Enough said.

    ere ...ere...
  • I disagree with giving bread and dripping to prisoners - generations were brought up on bread and dripping - why suggest giving away our heritage?

    Lard at best.

    As to the scroungers, why stop at 25% benefit?

    All rather off topic, though.
