scrounging bastards make me glad I have not paid tax there for a long time. NEVER will again!!
In my opinion I think it's important to provide welfare to people who really need it, but such a system should not be allowed to be considered a lifestyle choice.
That's the problem with the socialist, welfare state Labour have created, welfare should just give you enough for the bare essentials, so basically it is no fun and not a way you would want to live for any longer than absolutely neccassary, but because payments are so high it is a lifestyle choice for many, and no politician has the balls to speak out against it or they automatically won't get 5 million votes. (2.5 million unemployed, 2.5 million on incapacity benefit)

Time to pull the anchor up on the Isle of Anglesey and let it float away, yes?
The Consevatives say if they get in they will stop benefits for one year of anyone found fraudulently claiming benefits more than three times and that will save taxpayers some big number of pounds. How many people last year got caught fiddling their claims more than three times? 0, yes zero. Net saving to taxpayer then, £0, but it sounds good doesn't it, tough on welfare scum... yeah I'll vote for that, meanwhile the banks get 700 million pounds and public sector spending has to be cut by 25% this year to pay for it. THAT is the real issue. Stories about welfare scroungers screwing the hardworking taxpayer are diversions for reactionary sheeple to get angry about.

Overtime pay pushes PCs into £100k earnings bracket
Dan Thomas 22 August 2005 12:35
Some police officers are earning up to £100,000 a year, triple their basic salary, by putting in thousands of hours in overtime, it has emerged.
Some police officers are earning up to £100,000 a year, triple their basic salary, by putting in thousands of hours in overtime, it has emerged.
Figures obtained by the Times show that some constables in the Metropolitan Police work on average more than 36 hours a week in addition to their normal duties to cope with an increasing workload.
The leading 20 earners among the Met’s constables and sergeants took home £900,000 in overtime in the last financial year, the newspaper reports.
In its response to the Times’ freedom of information request, the Met said: “These roles, by their very nature, require officers to work long hours.”
The constables in the list obtained by the Times are paid £14.90 an hour, sergeants £16.75 an hour. The basic rate of overtime rate is time and a quarter but can rise to double time.
Even on the maximum, a constable would have to work 36 hours per week overtime to earn £55,960 in overtime. They do this by working on days off and during annual leave. General HR management - Overtime pay pushes PCs into £100k earnings bracket - 22/08/2005
Hey, This guy is no fool..... He,s playing the system and seems to know how to do it quite well. It,s us who go to work and pay our taxes to The shit tip govenment in the UK that are fools. As we all know the UK is full of ridiculous taxes, and full of immigrants who come here for the benefit system ans they are allowed to get away with it. The government encourage dis-honesty and there is certainly no rewards for being honest.
And in London housing benefit claimants are outbidding investment bankers
"On some properties in South Kensington, as many as 40% of e-mail and telephone enquiries are now from applicants on benefits – a sign of the wider malaise in the economy – although it does beg the question why tax payers are footing the bill to house tenants in one of the most expensive and exclusive areas of the world.
"We have just had two bankers, offering asking price on a 425 per week, two bed flat to between Earls Court and Gloucester Road, who have been out-bid by over 50 pounds a week by two tenants on Housing Benefit." according to Richard. "They don't care that they are paying over market price to secure a property that they like - it's not their money they are spending". "

I thought that in order to sign on you had to be actively seeking work? After the publication of this story and his admission that he is not seeking employment surely there are grounds to deny any dole money to him?
