For being FED UP that people are living in council houses & on benefits, yet some how can afford to go on a holiday every year??

[cleo43]

I have had it with lazy shites that sit in the house that I & my dh ( the tax payer) pay for , living on money that I & my dh ( the tax payer ) make possible, having more than I have!!

Perhaps it's a little bit of a green eyed monster going on here ,but, this evening my neighbour that lives in a council house & on benefits has been round to show me her new car and ask me to look after "her" house when she and her husband ( plus the two children and a grandchild) go on holiday next week!!
I am sick of it. It was only last month that she was dragging me in to see her new giant flat screen tv!!
We can't afford these things yet we have to pay for these idiots to have them??

If anyone suspects someone is dealing cars from a private property, a phone call or an email to the local council (Trading Standards office) should sort that little lot out. Just thought I'd throw that in .

Old Thread

Some of the people you whinge about are unemployed/sick through no fault of their own and previously paid their own taxes in some cases like mine for 30 odd years before having to claim.

Aren't there rules about advertising on here?

Nope - I think its fine - if they choose to get in debt buying cars and massive tellys, that's their business.

Sounds although YOU'VE chosen to get in debt buying a house.

I'd be suprised if you would rather you and your OH be unemployed and living off the pittance that is left everyweek after paying out to all of the accounts you've racked up buying things that you can't really afford and ending up paying back nearly twice as much having it on credit just to keep up with the Jones' up with the up the road and across the estate - not to mention the higher gas and electric bills from you both being in the house more often having no where else to go...

Not read all the answers and am sure the OP is probably getting flamed in most of them. Seen one or two that say people shouldn't dictate what benefits are spent on.

Well maybe not, but if people on benefits can afford foreigh holidays then surely they're getting too much benefits. There's the usual stuff of "why should my kids suffer becasue xyz and we're on benefits". Talk about a sense of entitlement. Belive me no child is going to suffer because they don't have a foreign holiday. Why should tax payers, many of whome can't afford a holiday themselves have to subsidise non tax payers for holidays. Benefits should be to cover a reasonable standard of living, not luxuries.

I recently went to Egypt and there was a large family group there who were all on benefits. But they could afford a 2 week AI break. Nice. I work hard and can only afford a week. Someone else I know hasn't worked in 10+ years and her DH is on the sick for a "bad back" (he can do trampolining ok on their new trampoline). They have more foreign holidays than I do.

OLD THREAD

Resurrected by Mum2bJK to sell some crappy magazine.

Have reported it and got an email from MNHQ saying the message has been deleted. Doesn't appear it has ....yet.

do you think Mum2bJK and andy are actually both the same twatty cockmonkey.

Mind you, he is "a lovely man who can set you up" so he may also be some kind of pimp

Benefits varies too much to make judgements from that alone.

We've never taken the kids abroad but we get some benefits and we work (dh works on average atm a 75 hour week including the training). I am a carer; I don;t think there is a problem with the camping we have and feel happy that breaks in teh UK are reasonable (indeed, it's an expense that DLA and carers is both appropriate for).

OTOH people who can;t be arsed to work being overseas in posh hotels would seem OTT (but even then family gifts or whatever could be an answer).

Each case is individual tbh.

Oh I see what MNHQ have done... left the thread in situ but deleted Mum2bJKs post

Mums2B... just resurrected this to post a terrible link to an ad.

Don't rise to the thread

Blimey they are trigger happy deleteing messages at MNHQ at the mo! I can't believe they deleted Pag's comment!
