(sigh) It isn't free in that it didn't just appear, as if by magic. It came from government revenue, ie taxes.

Yes but its free for the claimer as they dont have to repay that money.

Off Topic but twice now I have seen references towards willy as Cpt Haggis? Did Cpt get banned whilst I was away?

I was just wondering what the refence was. Thought it might be an anti Scottish thing.

A bit of fresh air, the chance to meet likeminded souls, even a free bus trip into town if you work it right.

You seriously need to get a life! :rotfl::D

Nope, when/if the person eventually pays tax they will pay the exact same amount of tax that they would have if they hadn't recieved that money.

There is no provision in the tax system where you have to repay the extra bus fare money that you got from the jobcentre.


So this is actually the 1 and only time in life that you will ever truely get a ''free lunch''! :beer::p

Ah bless you.

We ALL pay tax. Even the unemployed. The true irony is that the poorer you are, the more tax you pay as a propertion of income.
