Who are the real benefit scroungers? Yes there are people out there that have never
worked a day of their lives. Yes there
are junkies and alcoholics who are a drain on resource they don’t know what day
of the week it is and will never be clean or sober enough to ever work.
But almost everyone on benefits wants to work but just can’t
find a job no matter how hard they try, how many applications they fill in and
how many interviews they go on. These are people who want a job, want to
contribute to society and make a better life for them and their family. These are not the scroungers who are bleeding
the system dry and have to pay for everyday things “TOOTH PASTE” and cleaning their
own cloths
David Lidington conservative Member of Parliament for
Aylesbury attempted to justify his claims of fairness:
“I think the
principle remains right that while staff should always behave with courtesy
towards people seeking to claim benefits, it is also right that we should
expect people who are receiving benefits to be subject to the kind of
disciplines that apply to people in work even if they are on low pay”.
But are Conservative MPs subject to the same disciplines?
Benefit claimants living off around £70 a week may find it difficult to accept
lectures on fairness from MPs like Lidington. The MP for Aylesbury once claimed £1,300 of
public money for his dry-cleaning. He also made claims for toothpaste, shower
gel and body spray. Lidington has been criticised for claiming almost double
his salary in expenses. From an objective standpoint, Lidington is a benefit
claimant costing us a massive amount more than an ordinary claimant.
Also, if we’re talking fairness with public funds, the
Conservatives’ austerity programme has piled on more debt than every post-war
Labour government combined. Chronic
under-investment in public services (cuts) only increases debt.
If people have jobs which pay at minimum the living wage
they would not be on benefit. They would pay tax and national insurance. They would not need council tax or housing benefit. They would spend their money on goods and
services and in turn this would boost the economy.
Common sense, the conservative government don’t do common
sense they do greedy short term line your pockets first “F**K YOU”
approach. The rich get rich everyone
else gets F**KED.
