    go and talk to the Catholics.

    I still think it's good value, otherwise they'd all be breaking into
    your house when you're at work to watch your TV, eat your food and drink
    all your drink or even worse getting jobs with the local council. This
    way at least some of them will get hooked on Trisha and won't leave the
    house to get up to mischief.

    Holland was the same in the 1990's.

    It's the British disease, we don't have the guts to exterminate the
    Trailer Trash or, my favoured solution, put them in Trireme cross
    channel ferry services to France and Belfast. So we drag all the
    systems down in to the gutter and the lowest common denominator

    There was something on the news this morning about getting the longterm
    unemployed to work, think there's a programme about it tonight. They
    were talking to one 35 year old single mum with 4 kids who gets 300
    quid a week in benefits.

    She said that allows her to live 'quite comfortably', & thinks it's far
    too much, & whilst she'd much rather have a job, there's absolutely no
    incentive as she'd never make that much working. Ok nothing there we
    don't already know, but unusual to hear someone on the receiving end
    saying the benefits system is too generous.

    Adolf, is that you?
    Stopping *all* child benefit would be a start and insisting on
    sterilisation before benefits are paid would be a am idea to consider.
    £300 a week disposable would be pretty good, you have to guess that
    rent etc is being paid up front.

    Conversely, I can't quite see how someone on 15 grand a year is able to
    bring up four kids and live "quite comfortably".

    Everything's relative, I guess.

    Remember house and council tax get paid too, so that's £1200/m for
    food, bills, and shellsuits.

    I quite like getting child benefit. It just about pays for the
    nappies.

    Utilities won't get paid, & I imagine they'd be quite high with four
    kids in the house.

    How dare you think for yourself and do your own impact assessment! Just
    do as you are told by us who know better.

    In which case, you'll get nothing, but you can still sign on to keep
    your NI conts up to date... however you will have to submit to their
    regime of pointless and useless crap, if you do.

    The BTW "support" is worthless and LTU schemes involve learning how to
    use a yard brush, or count to 10. Training opps are nil, unless you're
    under 25, left school with no quals and haven't gained any since.

    Basically, if you're over 25, or have a GCSE, then the DWP want you to
    keep jumping through the hoops, while failing to provide any useful
    support of any kind.

    Attending some of their wanky courses could be fun; you could make the
    instructors cry and feel inadequate. Even I managed that, many years
    ago, when I hit the trigger for mandatory shite and advanced
    patronising.

    It can be done, even in today's economic climate.

    Oh, I am ;)

    But after a year of hammering the liquid assets, I doubt the above is
    true anymore :/
