Saying "just because" simply confirms my suspicions that as usual you're repeating rumours and hearsay.
So it's ok for people around you to cheat the government, but not for an asylum seeker to get £37 a week?
Aladdin asked you for proof that you know this, people don't tend to advertise the fact that they are cheating the system.
Or are they all members of your own family?

run along and study for your exams, but don't worry, you only need 1 GCSE to work in McDonalds.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY ARE CHEATING?
Is it really that complex a question to answer?
Sorry that was a bit mean of me. I was only joking. Don't work for McDonalds, they suck.
It's not question of agreeing or not. You've made a claim that you know for a fact that loads and loads of people in your area are pretending to be ill, claiming sick benefits and working at the same time.
I'm simply asking how do you know "for a fact" that this is in fact the case.
It's not an unfair question is it?
Some guy I know is on disability because of his supposedly bad back, he can take the engine out of a car with a mate, do the engine up and do all the other maintenance on the car. When he occasionally has to go for a medical he cant walk let alone bend his back..........true story !!!
Ive even done cash in hand work myself before and claimed at the same time.
disclaimer: it was a long time ago, I dont recommend it, and I never really got much anyway - didnt last long.
Yes, some people screw the system, that ain't in doubt.
Its lukesh's assertions that he knows exactly how easy it is (he's still at school ffs!) and that everyone's doing it is whats being argued against.
When nothing is found (because the person is lying) it is already too far down the line for the GP to accuse you of fraud because as soon as you say 'I'm not lying' and they've accused you, you can have them up infront of the GMC before they've got time to blink.
So, the reason it is so 'easy' is because a doctor can't tell you to piss off.
You don't know shit really.
Come back when you've actually signed on for a bit and then chat.
Signed on for a bitta what
hehehe im in daft mode tonight
pissed again
How come your spelling and grammar suddenly got better?
An unemployed man with a wife and kids to support can claim Jobseekers Allowance and the Child Tax Credit element for his family. If there are children under the age of five he can have a milk token for each of the qualifying kids too. If has paid a lot of NI contributions, he could possibly make a claim for Contributions based jobseekers which could mean extra pennies!
If his wages are low, Working Tax credit might help to top them up, depending on how many kids u have got.
With the mortgage thing, I understand the Council will help to pay the interest only on an endowment mortage, providing the unemployment was no fault of his own. I think you can also claim council tax benefit in this case.
Hope I been some help even though it was a bit late. It might be worth putting a backdated claim for the couple weeks he was outta work.
Like which piggy went to the market? Or stuff that actually matters?
Why not actually talk some sense? Surely even you must find it hard to believe, or even understand, some of the stuff you say?
Everything you say is true? According to who exactly?
You dismiss everything the Goverment comes out with as being lies to justify their own actions, but when something like The Sun says something totally absurd, you take it as the gospel truth. You really trust a tabloid more than the Government?
I never said you did. But you always refer to it.
But you do believe The Sun, right?
Because that's all you refer to.
Ok then. Why don't you ever believe the Government?
As do all Governments. I really don't know, but i imagine being PM isn't easy. Could you do better?
Can you name a single promise the Tories kept? How many good things that the Tories made happen can you list?
debate is much more fun if you stick to the issues and dont make it personal.
