    judging from this well thought out and decently written post - I reckon you could work.

    work from home.

    now you answer me a question - if they actually stopped your benefits and you genuinely had nothing - would you starve to death or would you find some kind of work to get by?

    Thank you for the comment .My IQ is way above average , a fact , not a boast . Was the youngest company director in my industry at 28 . At 32 I turned down being the MD . Just because I have developed a distressing mental illness, does not turn me into a benefit scrounger . I have major difficulties with being in an environment where there are lots of people . I also can not leave the house on my own .

    If some one had a home worker job , not data inputting as I am a very slow typist , I would be up for it .

    In a way I do work across the net . I have counselling experience and I do on line befriending and support . I also am researching into a scientific field , and if my theories are right , I may well be able to positively help to aid some peoples lives . About to start an OU degree in a subject that I have great passion in .

    Please don`t get me muddled up with people that appear on the Kyle show . Nor do I swan around with a big dog drinking Stella all day .

    You asked the question . No I wouldn`t starve job or not as there are enough people I know who would not let that happen.

    Your views, in my opinion , are at best , often the views of a bigot . At worse some of your views strike me as deeply offensive and a bit unhinged .
