‘My fucking ARSE’ isn’t the most eloquent or elegant thing I’ve ever read.

You have to admit ‘Shrivelled little molluscs’ is pretty good!

As regards to unethical pet ownership I loved animals as a child I had two mice and hamsters as an adult I think this was cruel as the hamster spent most of his nocturnal life trying to escape the cage . Just seems really cruel to me now. However I think my dog has a charmed life with us and do not think it is cruel at all.

Kids with milder ADHD that have no specific care needs shouldn't get PIP.

Two kids in my family receive PIP and not a penny of that is used for their additional needs, they are quirky kids but don't cost any extra to raise compared to other kids.

This is outrageous, totally agree with you. Benefits in this country are out of control

Blame the OP’s family members who are lying to obtain the benefits then.
