And yet, in society awash with money......food banks exist and what's more they can't keep up with demand.

That is disgusting.

But who are they? People spunking their benefits on tags and sky? I'm just not seeing it....I'd like to meet these people, look at there finances and even look if they have the intelligence to shop and cook

This is what you get with BIG government socialist states and yes all of the Western governments are highly socialist including our so called 'Conservative' party.

 

It is not by accident that people are now utterly dependent on the government without the skills or education to fend for themselves. Read enough political philosophy and you will see this ideology has been ever encroaching on our society and government for a hundred years.

Most (not all) that my missus dealt with were very much like that Dido, the stories she used to tell me were toe curling.

 

Having said that these same people's grand parents fought 2 world wars and built & fed this country literally with their bare hands, the state has created this and I believe 100% deliberately.

 

Destroy the jobs, destroy social cohesion, destroy the family, make everyone rely on the government for hand outs....welcome to Marxism

Oh there is poverty and people in dire situations. But there is always been that.It wont change sadly

[The one 8,468]

Even the folk on the dole are down the pub all day and smoke there might be some poverty but its no as bad as 20/30 years ago

That's just it...I don't believe the hype...the hype about people struggling...I genuinely don't see it. My mate does those voluntery agreement things, helping people with debt...he says he rarely comes across a debtor who he didn't think is a cock...not just sky but full package, not just a pet but two staffies or rockweilers, not just a credit card for emergencies but one for holidays. I know people struggle...always have done..but why should I with tinnitus and arthritis from working feel sorry for fuckwits. It's not the Tories it's personal decisions that are to blame

Not all do.f***ing reality tv to blame for that misconception. I have a mate who is bringing up his 8year old son by himself after his wife f****d off.He works part time and by f**k he works hard for min wage .He cant do full time cz of the wee man.

He barely makes ends meet. His washing machine packed in was told they couldnt help cz he works.I shit you not he was told if he had been released from prison or was claiming dole they could. After he pays the bills and buys food and a weekly bus ticket to get to work he has 30quid left! Even less when he to start going to laundrette with his and his kids washing.

 

I visited him 6month ago he had a shitty portable tv.f***ing felt for them. So next day took him into town told him to pick out a washing machine and telly and id pay for it.

I used to pay the money into his acount but because he gets help with his rent and has to hand in his wage slips they cut his money cz of the extra i pay in!

I now pay it into my nephews and he gives him it.

Hes not a sponger and he better off if he didnt work, but as he told me i dont want to 9set a bad example to the wee man by not working. He does his best for him and his kid.The wee mans a credit to him aswell. Loves his dad to bits and polite and respectfull

Good to see folk looking after their own....fair do,s and all that.

 

f****n sad state of affairs when a bloke gets penalised for doing the right things.

[scothunter 12,609]

Aye gnash its a sad state of affairs when the very system for helping folk in hard times shows little compassion. Im sure things will turn around for him one day.He deserves a good break.

Th sad thing is scott he WOULD be better off not working... oddly enough the 2 girls i work with was on about our part time hours & if we could get statatory sick pay if we had to go into hospital for an operation for example .... the answer to that is no because we dont earn enough so i did one of them benefits calculations things & on my weekly hours i am worse off working .

 

I also found out the whole host of other things i could get help with like loft insulation & home improvement grants if i am out of work , you get no help at all if your on a low wage scott like I am & your mate is

[scothunter 12,609]

Some system where you're worse of working kay! I cant get my head round that.

systems f****d. No wonder we have a dole culture in this country.
