...and have rotten eggs and tomatos thrown at them.
How dare they go on holiday and be allowed to have christmas presents etc
They should live on bread and dripping.

Kerry - 'twould be cheaper to trap them all with Clarkson. Before you know it they'll be eating themselves alive just to end the pain. All you'd need to spend on is a single cage.

Expat - arf!

Thanks for that image, Desi. I needed a reason to puke. Really.

I think they should bring in a bigoted twat tax, a selfish cunt tax and a too much of a ranker to talk to tax.
Then they should give it to me and I would buy nice things for nice people.

I could raise a few quid off this thread alone.

I'm still waiting for the winter heating bill estimate Xmas Hmm

thefirstMrsDeVere · 03/12/2010 21:51

Well we get twenty quid.

Because I am lucky enough to have a OH with MS and a son with ASD and LD. Shame DD died or we would have got another tenner. Damn.

But then me and OH have been paying taxes for over 50 years between us and still do.
My job pays a few quid over the limit for carers allowance but I would still rather do my 10 hours.
Oh is out taking disabled young adults to their social club despite the cold making his condition worse and his balance being crap. He will also probably fall over becaus someone has parked in his disabled space outside the house (they probably think disabled people are lucky too).

I was one of those scroungers who had their benefits removed. I got a year on IB after watching my DD slowly die over two years. Weak twat that I am needed a while to deal with that. I went to the 'medical' and sobbed the whole way through. They asked me if I could stand up and sit down. They passed me fit because I had turned up for the medical. I was on a fistful of valium but thats just a technicality. I read the report. I thought they had got me mixed up with someone else.

I didnt have the resources to fight. So on JSA I went and everytime I went to the JC I was told 'you shouldnt be working' and a few people cried.

I was very lucky. I found a job that is only 10 hours and doesnt stress me and means I can still care for my OH and my disabled son (as well as the other 3).

If I hadnt got that job I would probaly be in hospital and costing the sainted taxpayers a fuck load more than I do now.

But dont let facts and real experiences get in the way of your tossery.

Happy fucking Christmas.

I can't believe people are quibbling over an extra £10 paid to disabled people at christmas time.

Desiderata · 03/12/2010 21:52

William Hill, Kerry.

Skint now Wink

expatinscotland · 03/12/2010 21:52

Great idea, pag. I think Big Society should also monitor people, and if they're spending way too much time begrudging other people what they have, be it the odd tenner or a 4x4, they should be trapped in a cage with Jeremy Clarkson and his cigarettes.

SpeedyGonzalez · 03/12/2010 21:53

Pagwatch - once again Clarkson proves his worth. He'd be taxed to the eyeballs under all your categories; would save the nation's purse.

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 03/12/2010 21:53

Would you buy me a self stirring mug Pagwatch Xmas Wink

pagwatch · 03/12/2010 21:54

With that extra tenner, Kerry, you could afford ShoeFayre's finest for Christmas.

'ooh self stirring mug.. Of course !

Yes, clarkson would be a bloody gold mine

LifeForRent · 03/12/2010 21:58

And why can't you move? kerry? Yes exactly people who pay tax (and no those on benefits) DO indeed support the NHS, making it free for those who don't.

And as today's school children are being educated to pay your benefits in 20 years time perhaps begrudging them schoolbooks it a bit ridiculous.

And yes, people who read the DM do deserve to be flogged. I'm currently looking into instruments to do such damage.

expatinscotland · 03/12/2010 21:58

Now that might be an extra quid, Kerry. You'll have to save up for next year.

SuePurblybiltByElves · 03/12/2010 21:59

That cage, the wanker cage. Could it be a pit? A wanker pit? We could still put Jeremy Clarkson down it (in fact I insist).It's just that a pit would be tidier.
