i'll tell you the main reason these dolite scum are not asked to "volunteer" to pick up trash etc - because of the lefty - the lefty will argue it is against their human rights and is some form of slavery or the lefty will argue that they haven't had sufficient training or health and safety training to pick up trash and may hurt their back or some other imbecilic lefty garbage.

The White Horse - I really do think you should calm down, your blood pressure must be sky high!
I know it is annoying but you really must think of your own health and wellbeing.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -

it's nice how they said they "save through the year" to splash out £2k at christmas. it then emerged that what this meant was that they put £2k on a credit card and paid it off over the course of a year!
a few people started frothing about him not doing volunteer work - said he did do voluntary work at some kind of church charity thing, but not how much he did a week. seems to have been working in several different jobs in the past, seemed not that bad to me, although the amount they were receiving seemed unnecessary to me. didn't really see why a kid with a cleft palette and "some learning difficulties" needed extra money, and didn't see why they were getting carer's allowance when both weren't working anyway.
the fat woman annoyed me though - had 7 kids "not like they were all planned". !!!!!!, you can't afford them, do something about it.0 -
But the fat woman's OH worked, even though it left him £10 a week worse off. And she budgetted to feed a family of 7 on £40-50 a week!

I don't know how this family wasn't ashamed of themselves, pleading poverty on telly, with a free and clear income of more than £500 a week.
If the ConDems can find a way to limit the money to people like these, or make them do something constructive and valuable for it, then I'd be delighted.From Starrystarrynight to Starrystarrynight1 and now I'm back...don't have a clue how!0
