that should be it. from Jan 1st, stop ALL benefits.

then, set up offices staffed by doctors, and people can queue up for handouts. If the doctors think they can last another few days, they should be told to go.

if not, they should be given a cereal bar.

the end.

What kind of cereal bar would it be? I like the ones with the chocolate chips.

Would there be ones with chocolate chips?

The worst ones are those ones that are trying to be healthy with all the tangy dried berry crud in them. Those could be reserved for offenders.

I agree that the welfare system has been abused to distressing levels, but it still is one of Great Britains greatest achievments.

What your posts tells me about you is what a cold nasty person you must be, the type of country you claim to aspire to, the everyone for themselves would no doubt turn on you as much as the next man, be careful what you wish for.

What we do need though is to punish those who abuse the system as hard as we can, and stigmatise anyone taking money away from the real needy.

We should just stop all these scroungers having chocolate chips in their cereal bar. Chocolate is a luxury reserved for the working man. What kind of message is being sent out to these lazy scroungers? If they want chocolate chips then they should have taken out insurance. I know plenty of people with no arms and legs, and they work hard for their chocolate chips. And I've had to buy another pair of reading glasses while those chocolate chip-eating barstools just sit in their gutters laughing and eating chocolate chips

Horse, being so thick I find it hard to see how you earn so much to take out all these insurance polices.

What a moderate position (sic).

It reminds me of the days before the welfare state when the poor went before the panel composed of the righteous and moral of the community. They would plead (ie beg) that their son was so disabled he could not walk and could the Squire grant them half the cost of a wheelchair, only to be denied because the Vicar said that the child had not attended Church often enough.

While you are about it how about bringing back slavery?

i have various policies in the event that i die, that i am ill, that I am injured, or that I lose my job and the same for my wife. clearly the policies cost money and many people don't want to pay for them, choosing to have Sky or an iphone instead.

I have both an iPhone AND all sorts of private insurance. I'm also a 40% taxpayer, as is my wife, and we've never claimed a day of benefits in our life.

But I'm still glad the social safety nets that we have in this country exist, so that genuine claimants less fortunate than us can be cared for in their times of need.

We should certainly be better at preventing abuses of the system, but no need to throw out the baby with the bathwater there horsey.

could sort out some of the unemployment problem. maybe after 5 years on benefits, you can be sold by the Govt into slavery.

But 9 out of ten of your countrymen are bleeding the uk dry. We need to charge Scottish higher rate taxpayers more to compensate for the90% claiming more than they pay in before you get your independence.
