Just on the news right now will try and link later.
Some bloke wants the council to rehouse him because he has a wife, a girlfriend and 15 children and he cant fit everyone in his house. How thick are these people why have 15 kids if you cant cope with them. Its us that are going to have to pay for his mansion as well because hes a lazy arse and didnt work. Im fuming

I think military spending and tax cuts for rich corporations have much more to answer for in that regard...
yes, it muchly annoys me when people have too many kids and can't afford to look after them. not fair on them, their kids or the people paying their benefits.
but then again i guess they've probably been brought up like that and don't know any better.
Indeed. However, I was talking to a student at Plymouth Uni a few weeks ago (we had a few students from the uni to talk to us about further and higher education) and I asked him why students have to pay for their tution fees. He told me that the reason for this is because generally, they get paid more money per year.han people who don't have a degree..
Personally, I think that anyone who doesn't work shouldn't have kids - it's not a good example to set to them...
Why should anyone else pay for the students?
Nothing wrong with the student loan. Why should anyone else've paid for my accomodation/beer/food when I was studying? It primarily benefits me, after all.
But should we have to pay for the people who can't be arsed to get a job?
Give the scuffers a bit so they don't rob us. Can you imagine how much worse crime would be if people really had nowt?
Having to live in a gated community sounds a bit restrictive.
Also, the kids don't deserve nothing, because it's not their fault that their parents are poor.
well it's the way the welfare state works. it helps you out in times of need. you can't blame people for not working when the benefit system encourages work-shy people not to get a job.
I agree entirely.
I don't think it does. Because benefits are sod all.
but plenty of people live off them and don't work, don't they.
this should be moved into politics and debate...
I'm not reffering to the 'poor' people as such - it's the one ones who are lazy and really can't be bothered to get a job, are what I'm talking about...
Benefits aren't usually a lifestyle choice.
So, rightly or wrongly, the choice of any rational (possibly sloth-like, but that's irrelevant) person in that situation is the obvious one. There need to be changes, but condemning them all as lazy and stupid isn't helping anyone - those in receipt of benefits or those paying out for them.
I am aware of this.
That was what I was trying to say in my last post...
Not as many as the moron papers report.
I'm not saying that you don't get a few lazy sods, but you'd have to be desperately lazy to live off benefits alone. Or out of a job for genuine reasons.
This isn't really suitable for P&D until the thread starter has a source for this "story"
I doubt they'll be paying for my pension though, as I don't expect the state to give me owt when I'm old. So I pay for my own.
It makes my blood boil when I see these stories of these spongers taking money from the system because they can't be arsed to work. Whenever I hear about mums saying "oh, I've got 13 kids, we don't work, but we want the council to give us a bigger house and more money", I get very angry. You got too many kids? Keep your fucking legs closed then, you stupid cow! :mad:
And the floods of asylum seekers. Robbing us of our wealth.
I was not having a go at single mothers or anything of the kind. I've seen first-hand what single mums have to go through, so I don't have a problem with them receivng help from the state. What I'm talking about is people who have these huge families when they cannot afford to finance it themselves.
Just keeping in tune with the tone of the thread, and the papers from which I suspect it originated.
Y'know they type that people read because they find real news a bit too much.
