I am not having to live off £53 i just mentioned my situation to make people aware that being on benefits is the last thing i want, but what else should i do in my situation, I don't drink do drugs, go to nightclubs are have a big tv and the full sky package like the normal stereotype of someone on benefits, I am always looking for ways to start my own business but that requires money and time.

I started this thread as i thought it would be relevant to those on benefits, i didn't realise that the benefit board would be full of working people bashing those out of work, i wish i hadn't bothered.

Where was I bashing you? I was offering some helpful suggestions, at least I tried. I wish I hadn't bothered.

I note with some amusement and pride that Dom Aversano, the petitions author, is a fellow Musician and a drummer at that, In the music business drummers come in for lot of banter like [FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]How do you tell if the stage is level?The drummer is drooling from both sides of his mouth.[/FONT] What's the last thing a drummer says in a band?[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]"Hey guys, why don't we try one of my songs?[/FONT]
How can you tell when a drummer's at the door?[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]He doesn't know when to come in.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Well done Dom keep rocking the boat total respect!

There is no need for a petition, just don't vote Conservative in the next general election. Unfortunately I am suffering and I didn't vote Conservative. I work full time and haven't had a pay rise in 3 years and my husband has 2 jobs.
People are too quick to complain but did they vote in the last election?Surely people saw what happened in the Thatcher years and who gained and who didn't . YOU have the Government you DESERVE.

So what have the Tories done to make you suffer? (That labour would not also have done).

And when you look at it that way you then realise we actually live under a dictatorship and not a democracy so you can't blame people for wanting their voices heard because voting obviously is pointless

Why do you deserve a payrise?
