Seriously, BS, I simply cannot see any bashing. Apart from the thread was about you.

These are just the ones I've replied to. Could we please start giving people on benefit advice about how to budget their money instead of it being a witch hunt to make them feel bad. I've noticed it's always the same witches too (see the posts before mine).

My bf has already been offered a full time managerial job thankyou. I put that thread on there incase he couldn't find anything within the 5 weeks. But thanks for your concern

First one is simply someone asking how someone who works and brings in a wage gets more benefits than their wage. Not even a slight wiff of benefit bashing.

Second one is saying 'yes, we understand thats life though and thats how families are treated'. Infact most people agreeing that it's bad it works this way.

Third is a simple discussion on maternity grants and how some families get penalised while others get more for not doing anything. Which basically goes hand in hand with the second link you gave.

So I'll ask again, provide some links to the bashing!

Simple really, there is non.

And as your going to say 'it's the same people' and your refering to me and also lottee and others I'll argue back. It's the same people as we hold the same beliefs.

This thread trying to tell us off does not make any difference to my beliefs and I will state them if I feel the need. Just like you are. Trouble is, your doing it with the intention of causing a rift, I can't see any other reason for it, as there is no bashing whatsoever.

We know what your beliefs are now. We hear them in every thread about benefits. Could you please now start giving these people budgeting advice rather than making them feel bad about being on benefits?

What?!

My only concern right now is that I'm hungry and I have a dilemma, sit here replying to your quite frankly, amusing theories or move my lazy rear and get something to eat.

Actually no, it's worse, as I have the added concern niggling in the back of my mind....order a takeaway....decisions decisions.

If anyone on this board wants to do something constructive about it maybe they should write to an MP or go and see their local MP or something like that but don't come on here shouting about it.

We did, one of the so called 'benefit bashing' posts you have listed here was one for a petition, as to make everyone entitled to the grant...

Yer but no but yer but no but yer but come on, we have to expect disagreements on a subject like this, surely?!

Devon, I'm feeling a little bullying going on...

Love the fact that you're a witch too! The wicked witch of Devon, and the wicked witch of Chavolott! Brilliant. Love it! :rotfl:

Your obviously confusing my tiny mind or I'm confusing yours.

Back up what your saying! If you have a problem with what I say either don't read it, talk to me in PM (and I will tell you the same, I will air my views) or provide evidence of what your accusing us of!

You tried, but the links were quite frankly, rubbish as non of them included 'bashing' or 'making people feel bad'.

I don't know what else to say. Unless you want me to say 'yes forum person, I shall keep my views to myself and join the PC Brigade and never ever say anything that might slightly hurt someones feelings even if what they are doing or plan to do goes totally against mine and others beliefs.

If you take as much time finding some of my posts you will see I helped people claim more benefits and given varying levels of advice as far as I can.
