So you advocate people sponging off the social welfare system by deception!?
So all those people who are making a shed load from stoeln ids is ok then???
Please elaborate.
We are living in a weird era when people can justify theft with some excuse or another

Its so easy to point the finger at people on the dole,trying to make out they are criminals because they do a days work on the side. These peopel have to survive somehow im sick of people attacking them.

To do a bit of painting on the side, clean out someone's moat, hang a chandelier or two is okay.

Ok thats fine with me but when you see people maing a living by rinsing the system out of thousands a week then you gotta admit that is wrong
Besides are you sure the message was right...I believe in some cases you can still qualify if you dont work more than 16 hours per week and furthermore, how do you know the bloke painting wasnt doing it as a full time job as oposed to doing it on the side as a one off?
How do you know how much he was being paid for that job and even if he was being paid at all?
I dont agree with benefit fraud at all. I do agree with it being used by people who are genuinely out of work or even trying to top up their money with a bit of a work on the side but you got to admit some people are taking the living piss out of the system and this makes it bad for those who really do need the money

Wait til you`ve got two kids, very little money and full time job and then do a little bit of work here and there on the side to provide and the dole want to take it off you.
I`ve no objection to a married man earning an extra say ?30 to provide for his kids. The governments got a cheek. Prosecute their own before going after the rest of us.

We live in a very selfish society, the benefit system is designed to help those that need it. Simple fact of the matter is, if you can work then get a job, if it doesn't pay enough then get a second.
