STRANGER 948 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23028078 The UK gives £8 billion a year in foreign aid and there are places like this all over the place. WTF? Some sad statistics from the article:- 'Official figures show that last year more than 8,000 people wanted a job. But there were just 300 vacancies' 'There are fewer than 60,000 adults in Blaenau Gwent. Each month almost 10,000 prescriptions are issued for anti-depressants' This government has a lot to answer for. Edited June 25, 2013 by STRANGER Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baw 4,360 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Antidepressants, I know someone milking the system with that excuse. They are 10 stone overweight, not a shift in them but living comfortably. I don't think you can just blame this government, I'd blame them all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Baw mate you're wrong...I blame the government and years of liberal elitism...30,40,50 years ago not having a job and being on benefits would have been a hard shift and being disabled basically meant you had to get on with things yourself...it would have been a no frills life.... The guy you're on about is a product of the system...nothing more...I like it as little as you do pal...but the old horse has bolted and to be honest there ain't no catching the fecker now...it's long gone...

If anything this government is trying a little bit to stop the hemorrhage. It's a lassy I'm talking about with depression. Both sisters on benefits with depression, father on invalidity, wife too. Car, full sky, mobiles, house phone, private rented homes all paid. Daughter had a kid, didn't want it,father mother took it, get paid kinder ship plus £70 odd a week to look after him. They do car boots, worth a mint but hey ho...... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is true mate, the kids spoilt rotten, got everything, dresses in designer clothes, gets £20 odd patterns cut in his haircuts etc. only 5 mind. Anyhow, he started school last year and the gran, who looks after him, complained he had to wear school uniform and not his trendy gear. Me being me I said, they Prob make everyone dress the same so that the kids who's parents work, don't feel inferior. She just laughed but its f***ing true. How times have changed.
