Then i hope one day you have a wake up call, Do you know anything about the Arms trade are the cozy relationship between MP's and jimmy savile?, and i could go on and on but i won't.

The arms trade produces rather a lot of the tax income which goes towards paying benefits.

Sadly Labours magic money tree turned out to be a bit of a myth.

So how have people got themselves into the situation that theve only got
£53 pw to live on?

Making children.....then father loses job...mother gets annoyed with no money and leaves the 3 bedroom council house for some other guy taking the children with her. Now there are 2 spare bedrooms and no 1 bed flats available to do a mutual exchange and besides that the father wants the bedrooms to have the children stay in when they are over. Father now has to pay child support and the shortfall on the rent on the other 2 rooms. Also now has to pay part of the council tax....therefore only £53 left each week.

Well, its a shame but this would be the minority not the majority. Its fair to say when you have kids its your responsibility to pay for them etc, however if you are being provided a home to live in then I agree that the governement should force people to downsize or take a hit.

Isn't it interesting how people come up with such complicated scenarios to justify their point of view.

The JSA rate for a single person is £57 a week under 25 over 25 it is £71.

Did you not read what was said?


Aside from that. I just got to love all the comments and experts on here :rotfl:
Some of you really should get jobs in government and advise people on how to better themselves and get a job from all the thousands upon thousands of jobs they have out there.
Heh maybe even give some people directions to the magical pot of gold found at the end of the rainbow.

Nah! I just content myself with giving people directions to the most appropriate board to post on - and this ain't the one for threads such as this. :cool:

OK, and while you're at it, take this thread to the DT board where it belongs.

The Benefits board is not for touting for signature to a petition.

I cant believe how quickly people are signing this petition. The way its going it should reach the 150,000 'needed' sometime today.

Will be interesting to see what response (if any) from I.D.S.

edit: it reached the 150,000 needed, but now the 'amount needed' has increased to 200,000 ?? (where will it end)

I wish there is 200,000 sign up to scrap ATOS rather than stupid I.D.S petition.
