Re: Re: Should people on benefits be allowed abroad?

You don't have to have insurance to travel

Quite correct,but you should cover yourself for medical treatment,especially if you are being treated for something or on full medication.The E111 will only cover you for hospital treatment usually outside of your illness/es

that's all a matter of choice though oakie. i',m just pointing out to '2sheiks' that insurance isn't obligatory and whoever told him it was will probably try and sell him/her an overpriced policy.

When you say overpriced insurance cover for a trip will cost around £30. You don't need it but anyone who has bought it and needed to use it will tell you its £30 well spent. People who don't have it but needed it will tell you its £30 they wish they spent.

You never hear people say, "I went away without insurance and didn't need any as it happens."

No but you don't hear people say I've not needed house insurance but have been paying for 5 years.

I've heard people being hit with medical costs abroad, having their bags stolen and i know one person who died abroad whose family had to find thousands for repatriation.

No mate. lol
Actually over here in the UK,proven alcoholics are given I think it is,an extra £10 per week,to buy alcohol,if they can prove they are trying to cut drink out altogether and this goes towards weaning them off it.

that's the fucked up thing with any social wellfare system, and don't get me wrong I believe it should be there, but there are always cases of misuse to the point where you can see where the these questions are raised. I hate to see that shit because it draws doubt on legitimate people

Re: Should people on benefits be allowed abroad?

I would love to spend valuable time with a proper reply to you but I will just say that you come over like a complete and utter arrogant tosser.

Maybe. But i can sound arrogant with a clear concience that i have worked for everything i have, and not had it given to me. I have paid my dues to this government, whereas some are just too happy to take. If thats makes you upset, so be it, its soft soaping the lazy bastards that got it this way in the first place.

Have you ever considered what employers want in an employee? Do you REALLY think that McDonalds want, for example, a software engineer to take a job just to clear off when a better job comes along?

Are you really stupid enough to think that ANY person can succeed in ANY job?


I would love to spend valuable
You argument is shortsighted and ill thought out.

Been there pal. Macdonalds are not arsed if your a nobel prize winner as long as you do the job they ask for minimum wage.
Glen quagmire put on here a few months ago about there being jobs in macdonalds in town, and another poster, who was moaning about there being no jobs, said he couldnt take it because he was vegan and didnt agree with macdonalds prinviples etc. so i work and pay my taxes while he sits at home being self rightous collecting free money.
Im not a fan of picking up dog shit, but if it paid, and was the only way i could feed my family honestly rather than taking a living from other peoples hard work, then i would do it.

Thats the difference between someone who wants to work and someone isnt bothered.
