So you have no right to complain or question something if you are routinely lied to and treated like dirt?


Just because you have no power?


What is wrong with the British?

no right to complain when everything is handed to you on a plate, they should get a job or stop claiming

Have you ever heard of VAT?


Unemployed people have previously paid into the income tax-pot themselves (at least if they have ever worked). And doubtless will do again in the future.


It is the self-employed rich that pay a proportionately low rate of tax, not poor people.




As I have said, doing many types of voluntary work (eg: befriending elderly people, helping to run community clubs, gardening on conservation sites) is infinitely more worthwhile work than some paid work (eg: cold-calling).
And these volunteers do not get paid for it!


It is not that much of a hardship to pay for basic living expenses for unemployed, disabled and elderly people (as well as the running of schools, education, armed forces, etc). Cold callers (as an example) also get money to spend as they wish for doing nothing worthwhile.

Yes I have heard of VAT, but who is paying for these groceries of the unemployed...the hard working tax payer

As I have already said - as if every (income) tax-payer is hard-working.


And as if every jobseeker claiming JSA is lazy.


Lazy stereotypes.

Things are not handed to you on a plate.


Heard of sanctions and the massive increase in their use?

Everybody is a tax-payer, even the great hoards of unwashed unemployed "scroungers/layabouts" that you mis-direct your frustrations, personal inadequacies and failures at.

If you begrudge paying for this caste, stop paying HMRC. You will then discover how little you are.

Paying tax is the price for living in the "Big Society", so "man up" and stop whinging about matters you'll never comprehend.

You are either deliberately attempting to be a "flamer" or are just plain deluded.

Either way, I wish you luck in whatever walk of life you choose.

Have you ever heard of savings?


You do know that people are allowed a quite substantial amount of savings whilst claiming JSA?

If you have savings the decent thing to do is live on those before resorting to JSA, unfortunately some people believe they are entitled to spend tax money and squirrel away their own.
