As stated,I have no reason to be annoyed that they get more and find it rather amusing that you think that is the only reason anyone could find it absurd.Not everyone thinks with their own pocket,thankfully.

Really? So you're not thinking with your own pocket? You must have forgotten these posts:

#22 If you are going to give anything give a much lower amount

#77 Why do people now 'need' £500?.......Nobody NEEDS £500 to buy baby things,it's absurd!

Face it. You were once a beneficiary of the state's munificence and now you want to lecture current recipients. That really does smell like hypocrisy to me.

Judge not lest ye be judged because pride comes before a fall.

B]QUOTE=trynsave;33231565[BI would just like to thank emweaver for a private message telling me to 'back off' in response to comments I made earlier in this thread.[/B][/B]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and a public forum is somewhere where we are allowed to air them.

I accept that perhaps I got a little personal for which I apologise, but I was just reacting to information supplied.

My general comments are ones I stand by. All non-essential spending has to stop asap and everyone in the country is going to have to accept that - fact!

I shall now bow out.[/QUOTE]




I think that is disgraceful.

That revealing the sentiments of a private message on a public forum is disgraceful?

No. That someone should pm someone telling them to backoff!!! that is disgraceful. Have the guts to say things so everyone can see it,not try and intimidate someone privately.

I would have preferred that if private intimidation was occurring that it was resolved by the moderators i.e. the matter went through the appropriate channels rather than being aired on the public forum. Neither of us know the complete nature of the private correspondence other than what tryansave has posted and it's probably better not to add to the matter in this arena.

To late once the pm has been sent,damage is already done.

LMFAO!Sums it up well.

Thinking with your own pocket means thinking about what you will get or lose ie those thinking with their own pocket over this would likely say they think it's a disgrace if it goes because they need/want it.

You clearly do not understand hypocrisy at all.It has been explained but you still have no grasp of the concept

The welfare system was set up after the second world war so it is unlikely as you state that plenty of our pensioners today were reliant on state handouts and continued to do so and did not contribute a penny.

I don't know the exact start date of the welfare system, but I'll go for 1950.

Now 2010, so that's 60 years straight away.

What would the average age of a person getting a job be back then, say 15??

So a person born in 1935, (1950 - 15), could probably have lived on benefits all of their adult life. A pensioner today would only have to be born in 1945 (so say another 5 years and they could have been on benefits their entire life.)

This is a very rough calculation, but very easy to show how likely it is that a lot of pensioners today could have lived off benefits most of their lives.

Just as likely as everyone receiving benefits today being as undeserving of it as people on this thread are trying to make out.

You are just discriminating between young people today and pensioners today. Just because they are pensioners does not necessarly mean they have contributed so much to society.

At least I can have an open enough mind to see the bigger picture and see things from other peoples points of view.

Sigh! I don't know why I bother.....

For example, as a tax-payer, you may feel that the £500 Sure Start Grant is too much - because (1) you only got £100, and (2) you're now having to foot the bill. The money is coming out of your pocket so you lose whilst someone else gains. Previously, when you received the grant (or its equivalent) you gained and someone else (tax-payers like me) lost. The money was there to help you when you needed it so what gives you the right to criticise the grant now? Simples. Or is that concept too much for you to grasp?

It only seems a couple of weeks ago I received a letter saying my disabled daughter would get an extra £100 a year paid into her Child Trust Fund. Well at least she got this years payment.
