Re: we've come out on top...
Never hear very much about the thieving scum who cheat on their taxes?
Easier to churn out the attacks on the vulnerable. |

There are more crooks wearing suits than living on schemes, but their crimes are labelled as 'white collar crimes' - look at Phillip Green (who robbed BHS pension fund ( among other robberies / raids he carried out ) to buy another new super yacht ).

Re: we've come out on top...
i have always said that the unemployed dont cost us that much and its true. being unemployed and being a schemie are two different things. you can live on a housing estate/scheme and be unemployed but not a schemie. with or without tabloid spin doctoring.

Benefits are approaching something like 50% of total government expenditure. Obviously this isn't just unemployed but it's a whopping amount of money.

Nowhere near 50% By far the biggest chunk is pensions, are pensions really "benefits"...? https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/gover...ent/2016-03-16 |
