hi ,
sick but true and it even makes me more sick even it is not my country.
i came here 2 years ago even though i would fit in the criteria for free housing because of my children etc , i choose not to. i was fortunete enough to afford a deposit for a house and got mortgage, no i pay ridiculous council tax (compare to turkey), nhs and tax.
but it really makes me fed up that i see people capable of working choose not to work, because government is looking after them anyway, why should they work? it is the moral of those people.
but i hate to pay for them, because it is my tax going in to their pocket , where they can spend it on their dogs, on gambling or on drink... it is not fair, and i have been searching for a political party who would have the guts to stop this but seems like there is not a party for it.
i would like to have a dog but i can not afford as i have mortgage, two children etc, costs but people i know who lives on benefits have dogs , latest mobile phone, out - partying everynight...it is not fair. it is not my country but i think there must be some british who have guts to say that it is not fair.
one of the things i would suggest is, all these criminals live on benefits , if government says if you do criminal activity(like burglary etc) we will stop your benefits i wonder how quick the crime would stop , how many people would stop being pick pocket...
also i watch one born every minute and i can not believe 16 years old having baby, they say my friend so so had one so i will have one...parent are not there, they rely on government to look after them. her job description is a single mum. she doesnt work, why she needs to? the government will look after her, giver her house, benefits...
i revently sit in life in the uk test, one of the question answer was this
65% of children have single parent
25% of children have both mum and dad
10% children dont know mum and dad
what a figure isnt it?
