Re: Benefits RANT!
I have worked with unemployed people for the last 4 years during their mandatory work experience (ex-New Deal). I am currently on a fencing contract re-newing fencing on a large housing association estate. Most if not all trainees have new clothes, latest phones and sky tv at home. I also have about £50 a week tops freebie cash, have a cheap nokia and have never had cable tv so dont know what i`m missing there. I dont buy furniture, clothes or electrical goods and just about keep up with diy maintenance on the 1 car and 1 bike we run. Yes, it pees me off when I see tenants getting new kitchens, bathrooms and now fencing normally on a 10 year rolling system. The cliche "Taxed to death" is so very true. This government better start rewarding hard-working families better otherwise there will be a revolt.
Thank you- benefit rant over from me!
