10 million

[Borr 5,805]

And this is just fraud and overpayment, it's an international operation to defraud the UK taxpayer, incentives for illegal and legal migration.

It’s a very arbitrary figure,Wilf. 
Take the number of working age people in the UK , deduct the number in work, paying income tax and NI, and your left with a figure of around 10 million.

This 10 million will include people as diverse as Prince Andrew, people who retired early, housewife’s, people in hospital , etc, so it’s not that big a figure as they would like us to think !

Cheers.

Not to mention like a few lads I know who did 35 years with British steel and even though they are not state pension age have enough to live on.

now then, as much as id like to sit here and prove you all wrong, i have to find my nearest food bank for my din dins,  then as last year, find my nearest drop inwarm centre come winter , remember them do ya,  folks couldnt afford heat there homes, eh 

The way you come over , you just sound like that other fella who was on here Greb was it ? Takin the piss out of people that's havin to use the food banks isn't clever. Many old uns out there that haven't a penny due to our goverment rinsing them at the end of there life. Your there saying need to find nearest food bank for my din dins. Shocking many out there that's been thrown a bad card in life too. Even people who are terminal ill having to use food banks that's had benefits stopped due to the c**ts at pip. Giving it hay or nay to who's ill or not. Alot of this happened when it was over the phone telephone conversation. If your using food bank then sound. But don't put shit like that. Because it comes over like your taking the piss fella.

Society is one big pecking order. Those at the top kick those just below them and those people kick those just underneath them. Until we get down to the working poor who kick those on benefits.

People look for reasons as to why they are not participating in a rich country's goodies. They criticise what they see as injustices right in front of their eyes. But they never see the decisions which are made in parliament or in boardrooms which cause such tremendous inequality in Britain.

And that's the way Parliament and the super rich who control politicians like it. Smoke and mirrors. Let the peasants fight amongst themselves. "Another glass of champers Peregrine?"

I think the 10 million includes the “economically inactive”, people who aren’t working but not claiming benefits for whatever reason. You could probably add some like Prince Andrew in on that figure, it’s not just the number of people out of work and claiming benefits, it also includes people in hospital, nursing homes etc. people who chose to live in places like Spain and Portugal and even possibly you if you are still on the electoral register in the UK.

So it’s a misleading figure.

Cheers.

not to mention over 2 million students
