Woman i know has three kids, lives on benefits and because the kids have not been well brought up they are disruptive in school and dont fit in well with what is classed as normal behaviour. Result is mother gets paid to be a carer to her own children. they have no special needs ,they have just come to the attention of the social services and money gets thrown at them. I work an average of 50 hrs a week and get less than she does a month. Pissed off with it,yes .whos the mug, looks like me.
It's wrong worng fucking worng!! We have a rat problem in this country and I am not talking about the 4 legged kind.
The Brooklandsblue solution.
1) Tougher regulation and investigation on those who claim to be long term sick (this seems to be the most common technique used by the work shy) to make sure only those who genuinely can not work get what they deserve.
2) Stop the crazy system that allows people who are not working to be better off than if they got a job-how did it come to this??
3) A sliding scale of unemployment benefits.
1-4 months full entitlement
4-7 months 80% entitlement
10 months 60% entitlement
12 months+ 50% entitlement
If the system is made so that even minimum wage jobs pay better than benefits then I am convinced any mentally/physically fit man or women could find a job within 1-4 months....
