Lets stir up some controversy

Having been off work since June which led to a spinal operation on 4th July, I have not been able to get any form of benefit whatsoever, because during the tax year 2004-2005 I only worked part time and therefore didn't have enough NI contributions to enable me to get incapacity benefit or indeed, if I were looking for work, Jobseeker allowance.

Despite the doctor telling me it will be another six months before I am completely ready for work, I am about to start a part time job because of lack of funds.
 
So, Saffy, basically you're saying that the benefits system doesn't work for people who want to work but can't, as opposed to those who can work but won't?
 
*OUCH!* I suppose that I asked for that by posting it BUT my sole intention by posting it on THIS forum was to show how ridiculous it is. I have nothing against ANY immigrants wherever they're from or going to. I knew it was going to stir up some controversy, but if people start taking stuff like that seriously then the Daily Mail readers and BNP sh1thouses already have won. Then again, The Sun IS the most popular paper in the country.:roll:
 
Am just pissed off that having worked since 1976 (with a wee respite to bring up our daughters, fully supported by my husband), that the time I need some financial help from the benefit system, it's not there.

Anyone seen This Is England yet by the way ?

You have every right to be pissed off about it... The benefits system is far from perfect, and is abused by ALOT of people. Many of which will never be caught.

I just object to the people who claim Mr and Mrs Joey Muslim walk in to our country and get a house, and money, and pop out kid after kid... It's not that simple, no matter what The Mail, BNP, and the rest of the bigoted toss pots tell you.
 
lazy workshy slackers are here to stay.
people keep moaning that the foreigners are "nicking all the jobs". but truth of the matter is, they simply do not want to do any work which involves:

a) hard work
b) having the piss taken out of you by your "mates"

faced with cleaning bogs, spending 6hrs a day in a field picking fruit, working in mcdonalds or sat on your arse at home with enough benefit money for booze and fags while supplementing your income with cash in hand jobs or low level crime - what's more appealing?

no ****ing ambition in people no more. the whole country is being propped up by the hard working majority to keep this minority out of poverty.

rant over.

YES.

I have a couple of 'mates' who's involvement in agentundercoversocial plc is seriously in danger of ending due to their drift to the right. Apparantly Birkenhead is being swamped by Somalians:?. I would :lol: if it were not so :evil:.

Anyway, its no co-incidence that they are the two laziest and pot adled (dont get me wrong I like one but not a dozen) mates I have. Not happy in work or women. Always looking to shower bitterness onto others.

Harlow is being swamped by Poles.

Cant complain, at least the Eastern European crumpet is easy on the eye, and are polite when serving me my Mini Variety Meal in the local KFC. 8) and chances are i know it wont be full of employee saliva.
 
I'm off to Poland later this month to recruit up to 50 staff which i can't find locally.

There's a massive skills shortage in the UK and our economy needs these people to prosper.

There are undoubtedly those who take advantage of the social system, welfare tourists or whatever we call them nowadays.

It's such a shame that often many skilled, motivated workers from foreign shores are lumped in with these minority of blaggers.

What I do object strongly to, are those who come to the UK, only to criticise our way of life in a hateful way. (and i'm not talking about people just having a moan, cos we brits are world champions sat that one!:lol:)

I have not meet one Eastern European person that has not hated the UK with a passion. Infact their hatred and views can be quite shocking! They are here to gain money to take back with them to build a better life. Which I can't complain about that..... I would... But what good does that do to our ecomony? (in the long run)

I know quite a few Eastern European people who live in the UK and love it there. And they're not there to send money back to anyone (if anything, they spend it in London's shops!)

They're all in professional jobs though, which probably has an influence on their perceptions of the place. London is a tough place to live on a small salary.

On a similar issue, a friend of mine did a series of 4 documentary short films on Eastern Europeans squatting in disused homes on the North Circular. Very interesting viewing. Each one is around 3 minutes long. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaH7b9NQazI
