    i think he is on interest only. mortgage co wont do anything as his figures now suck.

    and yes, they should pay. he's paid in all his life, unlike the vikki pollards who start firing out kids at 15.

    plus, if he loses his house, they'll have to rehouse him and pay for it anyway.

    sorry but you`ve blown it now as far as i`m concerned,not on is it? commenting about groups of people who you only know from what the dialy mail tells you.

    no. i cant stand the DM.

    so, are you denying there is a benefit deficit caused by the sectors i mentioned??

    why is it that say, a 16yr old girl who has just cost a fortune to educate and is now costing another fortune because she doesn't want to work, so fires out a couple of kids in rapid time. then gets all the benefits under the sun. yet a man who has paid in all his working life is entitled to fook all????

    you should see the estate near me. they built it in the height of the boom but a lot were unsold, so the LA bought them and filled it up with vikki pollards.

    therefore i don't really give a monkeys if you're done with me or not.
    NEVER ARGUE WITH AN IDIOT. THEY'LL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL AND BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE.

    and, please. only thank when appropriate. not to boost idiots egos.

    Because the benefit system is not so shallow as you would like it to be.

    Your chap who has been working all his life has also been paying a much reduced level of national insurance and could really have set some money aside. However, if he hasn't then he may still get means tested benefits.

    A 16 year old girl has not had the opportunity to build up NICs or savings and so may claim means tested benefits.

    It's really quite simple.

    Your mate took on a mortgage he can't afford, his job went tits up. He's too proud to allow his wife to work but still wants other tax payers (who will pay the higher level of NI) to bail him out.

    And then you've the cheek to slag off teenage mothers, what about the teenage fathers who do !!!!!! all to help the kid that they helped create? No one ever criticises them yet they have 50% responsibility towards causing the problem.

    tosh.

    16, never paid in a thing, gets all the benefits under the sun. means tested means what their income, circs are etc.

    and people like my mate and i have paid our NI (at the voluntary rate, i hasten to add) plus 20% of our income in tax for yonks, yet we're entitled to fook all.

    what is it with this place?????

    full of muppets. cheers for the good advise from certain posters. i'll give him all the info tomorrow.

    i'll leave the rest of you idiots to turn the thread into whatever.

    as a footnote. he had money aside, but it's all gone after a year of a credit crunch (not that the ones on all the benefits would have bloody noticed)

    and the 16yo bit i shant even entertain as an arguement as there isn't one. they fire out a kid, then get the whole lot. end of.

    means tested my arze. IS, HB, house, free dental, eyes, training , the whole lot.
