Where do you think all this money goes? Not in the worker's pocket, nor into the coffers. Makes the money that those lazy wasters make seem like a drop in the ocean, doesn't it?

I rarely take any notice of statistics.....You can manipulate statistics to say whatever you like.

Governments do it all the time.

Where did I state all people on the dole were "Chavs"?????...

Its a forum here, a place for debate and discussion, but please don't put words in my mouth. I have all the sympathy in the world for people who are out of work through no fault of their own.

It's all too easy to blame the poorest and least educated sections of society for all it's ills. But just consider this...this is a money saving forum. There's people on here up to their eyes in debt and struggling on a daily basis to pay it back.

Ive read the Bankrupt forum for the last 12 months and yes I agree there are some genuine cases ,especially in the past 12 months, equelly there are the same number of Chavs who when post their SOA you find out they have 7 CC (Total Debt £25k or more), 5 unsecured loans amounting to ££££££ Thousands of pounds of debt whilst earning £12k a year..sorry No sympathy....

When you look at it in the context of replying to my post about the unemployed, you can see why i thought that you were doing the whole tar and brush thing. But if you weren't, fair enough.

Those are good links BTW. Straight from my friend who works at the DWP, in the fraud section.
