hmmmmm. and you're saying that like it's a good thing?!

If you read my posts, you'll see that my problem is not the welfare state itself, but that one can claim benefits indefinitely, without doing anything for the greater good of society/ the community.

Oh and here is an article published today which shows just how much nonsense is spouted about the "poor" public sector.
In today's Times results from a study by Price Waterhouse Coopers comparing the benefits of Public sector and private sector benefits since 1981.

Where's the article? All I see is 3 paragraphs mentioning the comparison of 2 people. Hardly evidence of anything.

It is always about what is easiest.

It is easiest not to chase after and punish scrotes with no money as one can't extract blood from a stone. Therefore they go after motorists and people who overfill bins instead.

It is easiest to tell respectable Gurkas who will not complain to p*ss off out of the country than it is to fight those 'I know my rights and the system' economic migrants, so they get to stay and the Gurkas can sod off.

It happens everywhere, in schools, in hospitals, with justice, taxes..... Why do any of us think that anything they do has any connection with justice or doing the right thing, because it does not. It is rewarding those whop should be being punished. And they wonder why so many of us are becoming alienated. But actually they don't even care about that either really. As the latest fiasco with MP expense claims has shown, even our leaders and representatives are just marking time trying to keep their snouts in the trough for as long as possible so they can retire rich. The British disease has reached the zenith; no-one cares, and the great unwashed have finally realised it.
