And I've already been told off once today, (Uncle Peter
) so can you guys wait until tomorrow, pleeeaaassse. 
I always make a point of saying, & I will again just for you BS: I have nothing against people claiming benefits/grants/lottery wins
WHATEVER, it's the people who don't want to help themselves/commit fraud. Honestly, if my OH walked out on me tomorrow, I would 'go get' everything that is put in place, as should every other legitimate case.
So long as your gentle!
It appears I got told off now. Were already in the naughty corner, should we face the wall now too?! (please.....it's better than looking at chavalott

Right, I think I'm gonna have a hernia in a minute. (and lottee, go jump!!)
I gonna take a break from the loony asylum.
As for the poster who said abotu bullying, yes, forgot that one, we were bullying when we said it was fraud too, even when a fraud investigator said it was, we were still bullying!

I don't think you mean me do youGraham_Devon wrote:BUT this is what BS is referring to and calling us witches for. Just because we don't share the same opinion that that is fraud pure and simple. It was fraud.
Then she's taken it off on another tangent and havign a go at us for simply not saying 'your boyfriend should go for every single benefit he should get'. This was slightly different. (it was my post:p ). My suggestion was not illegal therefore posts criticising it were debate.
You cannot be serious about referring this to the abuse team. By all means go ahead, but referring to an abuse team just because we happen not to share the same view is quite frankly pathetic. Same as this crying post.
. I haven't reported anything. I'm fully expecting this thread to be locked or deleted though 
FWIW I think looby is right and a post similar to the DFW board would be good :beer: . I like DT I'm often in there. There has been a number of benefit threads already
but happy to contribute to another. 0 -
What puzzles me is why someone with seven 'A' grade A levels spends her time picking holes in the general views on this site about benefit scroungers, rather than her concentrating on being a captain of industry or a politician in her own right, and aiming to correct the whole imbalance between taxes in and benefits out.
If I was clever enough to have all those A levels, I'd be bored out of my mind just running a business from home all day, even with a couple of children to bring up and a wedding to plan. I'd want to be out there giving something back for my education and keeping my intellect active.
I hope that when black_saturn is finally free from home responsibilities, we might benefit from her considered views as to exactly how the national budget can balance out, if many of those taking from it are doing so at the expense of those diminishing numbers who still have sufficient work ethic to keep contributing into it. Someone should make a documentary or write a thesis on "the benefits culture", because it is coming over loud and clear that a proportion of the public think the world owes them a living.
Was one of your A levels in economics, BS? If so I'm surprised that you don't take the wider view.
I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe

BS I don't understand why you started this thread, then posted a link to your thread as the first niggle you had, when that thread hadn't been posted on in 3 days?

I've seen people getting slated for being on bens, I've been slated myself and called the lowest of the low (by the charming Grex, where is he these days?!) but I wouldn't have dragged it up again 3 days later.
You're not on benefits, so why let it bother you so much?
If we ignore the name calling, everyone else has valid points whether we might agree with them or not.Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty...0 -

Channel 126, 10.35. I expect my beer opened and ready to be poured while you sit there doing some polishing
(you may get that, you may not).
As for the song, kinda went over my head, im on the laptop and got tinny speakers and I'll be damned if I'm gonna go up to my office to watch some witch chant. But yes, got the general chanting idea
