Re: Should people on benefits be allowed abroad?
Most people on benefits should not really be able to afford holidays abroad unless they have substantial savings.
I don't understand how they can actually afford it?
I've been on benefits (wouldnt give me housing benefit or council tax benefit though due to the savings rule.......My advice ..don't save anything in future) and it was a pittance. Wouldn't half fill my petrol tank.
I also agree with a point made earlier by someone that if benefits were scrapped (which clearly some of you divs want) then expect total anarchy.
Some people are unemployable and would merely turn to crime. Some of them serious crime.
