[QUOTE="Andy12345, post: 464118, member: 59108"] ok...... firstly, not everyone thinks your scrounging, its insulting even to me to be labelled as this as i have never said this to you neither did i suggest that everyone claiming benefits are scroungers i just said i know of many many people that are and it isnt as rare as you think, the statistics about people that are defrauding the system are complete nonsense, all the people i know doing it (and ive only mentioned the people closest to me i know so many others, its common practise) arent considered to be defrauding or they would have their benefits stopped, they are statistically genuine. i called the advertised phone number for my mums step family because it made me want to vomit how they would boast about what they do and we had a problem because i had a huge row with them, i told them i was going to grass on them for what they were doing and i did it, probly 5 years later, absolutely nothing has changed, no one every came around, i even told them there car registraion so they could watch them going to work each day, and nothing they still do it and still get away with it, so again please dont make assumptions, also every time i see my sister and her family which isnt often for obvious reasons there is usually a big row around my mums because i indeed use the word scum when telling them in the strongest possible way that what they are doing is wrong, this upsets my mum but i cant help myself so have taken to avoiding the situation, when my mum pops her cloggs they know we will not be in contact at all they are playing a system that has been set up to make it possible for them to do it, i dont actually blame them, it should not be made easy, as i said i dont know how it could be done but the fact that the way things are it would make no sense to go to work all month and be financially worse off, they would be stupid not to exploit the system, this is the real world i certainly am not scared to speak my mind especially to people that are taking my money off me i employ someone with autism and someone with epilepsy, they managed to get a job, im sure they could have decided it was too hard and claim benefits genuinely, i want to live in a world where no one goes hungry, no one lives on the streets and anyone who who needs support, gets it and im perfectly happy to pay it, i think in the so called civilised world there are people suffering through poverty when others have so muchis a crime, tell me how to change it that would be fair? tell me how to distinguish between the genuine and the fraudsters, explain to me how you would deal with things differently rather than blaming the government for doing it wrong its an impossible situation, if they dont make it harder it will get worse, yes people will suffer the reverse, thats very bad, you know your genuine but how do i? how does the system know your genuine? but please dont tell me that its rare i cant believe i involved myself in this thread, i tried hard to keep my size 11s out :( someone kick me [/QUOTE]
