Before anyone starts a verbal war, I know there are genuine people that are entitled to benefits but so many people out there that do not want to work and are happy to live off benefits, especially when so much is available to them.

Suppose we will plod along and continue to contribute our taxes to enable this.......
Hi again
My father died in 2000 at the age of 65
He was hurt mining coal to keep the likes of people like yourself warm, he got nothing from the NCB by means of compensation and very little from the government by means of a living allowance to keep a family on.

My mother worked full time and I started work straight from school and gave my wage(not board ) to my mum in order to help keep a roof over our head.

Not all people are scroungers!!
Regards
Steve
