Snow shifting rant

[MattF]

Cheers mate!


An i was a plumber. The company i worked for changed direction an it didn't suit me as much. Rather then jobs relativly local its all over the place.

At first it was great! But after spending 4 hours on the road a day i got very, very tired of it!

I'll be better off in almost everyway with the route im taking now so! fingers crossed!

What area are you planning to specialise in?

[MattF]

What a load of BO**CKS our system is, i bet if i lived up north in a council shithole with a girlfriend and 4 kids they would pay for everything!!!!

It's not just a Northern thing, you know. There are plenty of sh1tholes and idle feckers down South too.

I know, just seems the only time they ever interview them on telly, they always have a northern accent! Maybe that's the media's way of highlighting the 'great' north south divide!

The media, being biased? How could one think such a thing.

So I think what we're saying is that incapacity benefits are paid to the wrong people because the rules of the system are not rigorously enforced, claimants are not properly assessed etc. Therefore, you can lay the blame squarely on the system rather than the applicants.

In a Word "YES" Andy for PM ...
It sounds on the surface of it that Tony (above) would qualify if assessed by someone who gave a damn rather than just concentrating on getting the agreed number of patients through the books, but plenty of people 'running in marathons' (and I believe this is overhyped by the Daily Mail's of the country) and owning blue badges would have to find a job.

And yes, it would appear Tony would qualify but has to (Jump through hoops first to justify the criteria) to prove his case for disability ...
(Don't forget ya taking on the Government) n I wouldn't roll over....
Nets full of holes as with most things today, "don't give a dam attitude" n I can't change it !!
Life's not perfect but it's also not fair either... to those that deserve it and can't get it and those that get and don't deserve it ....

There's always a Payback .... It always takes longer than five minutes !!!!

No, it's that the northern ones have just about learned semi-coherent speech whilst the southern ones are still stuck with grunting and pointing.

highlighting a point made earlier...if you've worked for years and paid into the system then become unemployed, you will struggle to get any help - including the jobseekers allowance/dole money. i know this because i signed on, on the 24th november and still haven't received any payment from them. but i'm still expected to go up there every 2 weeks, which i can't stop doing because it keeps you on the system for your national insurance.

if i hadn't got a few quid put by i'd be in some serious shit now.

I had the same after my accident.I was paid 6 months full pay then it stopped.I went to the social and asked for help and was told there's nothing they can do.If it wasn't for the M.I.L helping us out with the mortgage payments then we would probably of been looking a repoccession
If i was a immigrant then i would of had everything possible given to me

[JUDWAK]

i dont like most of whats said here is this thread its p1ss me off the read such small mindness from some (not all thankfully)
north
south
we different then to the south us up north
boll0cks
i been everywere in the uk and seen plenty of sh1t holes down south and north
no crack house's drug dens or bad estates then down south
are you sure about that
guns galore london gangs
think this idea that its only up north were bad things happen and were all screwing the benerfit system
anyone who says differant is just a small minded brainless tw@t

[GRASSMAN]

WOW!!!, I really started something there.

When I was put on a 3 day I had been claiming working tax
credits, (38 hours) and I foolishly told them my circumstances
had changed, and was told because I was now working less
than 30 hours a week no more credits!!!
Phoned Job Center to ask if there was any help for me, a fat NO.
Said to lady on phone, if I had an accent, a criminal record, 6 kids,
and was sexual deiviant, I'd be OK then? she said YES. I hung up!!!

The system is not supposed to support those that work and pay a mortgage and try to lead their lives without state interference.

It's there for those that don't do either and receive state handouts and also provide jobs for those that administer the handouts.
Both more likely to vote labour as their income is dependant on them being in power.

There's minimal help anyone that's ever worked, paid in and needs to make a claim.

Sadly, very very true, after 42 years of graft, nothing.
