    I agree with you but the level of insults you used somewhat detracts from the points you are trying to make. It's a sort of dive to the bottom.

    I'm no prude and I'll eff and jeff with the best but if I am having a serious argument then I don't speak that way as it is inflammatory and my opinion could be lost in the 'chaff'.

    This is only my opinion not meant to be patronizing in any way.

    One of the ignorant bigots is HM Government's Chancellor of the Exchequer. His statement about the "...unfairness of a “shift-worker” leaving for work early in the morning who looks up and sees “the closed blinds of their next door neighbour sleeping off a life on benefits..." was shocking even for him. Forgets to mention the off-shore trust created by his daddy aimed at avoiding inheritance tax though (estimated to be around £1.5M)

    Mate its nice to see you posting again, glad you got it sorted out.

    Your "mate", really should try and see that sometimes being on benefits is the only way you can cope . there is nothing wrong with you as a person if you have to claim them, it is the bigots and ill informed that are the ones in the wrong.
    Sorry to hear that he feels so bad , but depression is not a sign of weakness, it is the first step to a stronger life to come .

    "Depression is not a sign of weakness, it is the first step to a stronger life to come"
    That's brilliant and very true. You can have a 'like'.

    What's the difference between a benefit cheat and an MP fiddling his expenses? They have very short memories!!

    Sad society we live in

    Benefits for all oncluding disabled being cut
    Low wage economy
    Investment in left wing council areas being cut by government
    And yet higher rate of income tax cut once and will be again
    Why oh why do the working class (us) vote em in ?

    It's a good question, but that leads us to 'democracy' and our voting system. Essentially, our democracy is aimed at, pandered to, and ultimately decided by, about 30-50 areas that can't decide whether they're middle-class with proud Labour roots, or working class with aspirational Tory leanings. Hence. just about every policy, decision and soundbite is aimed at swinging them one way or the other. The rest of us can just f**k off.
