    Thank you so much Lorna. I'm starting work as a Social Prescriber and your story is a great way to get some context on the UK benefits system. I will definitely use this info when talking to clients. Awesome job!

    I'll be upfront, I want to work, but as I said on another one of you clips, I feel very fatigued at the moment. I am better off in the benefits system than out of it.

      just get a job that you can do instead of leeching off the taxpayer!!!!!!!

      ​@@RickSatan I am on benefits and I have never been so better off including my rent I am only around about £400 a month worse off , so happy days
      in my life time I have always worked for low pay but if people want to call me a scrounger then let them get on with it but at least I can sleep in till 10 every morning😅 why go out to work for £320 a week on the top when you can get £220 a week for doing nothing including your rent and council tax I am talking about
      plus all the other benefits of being on benefits like free prescriptions interest-free loans the government putting £301in your bank account this month etc etc etc
      I am a single guy who lives in a council flat and my children are in their 30s and when I hit 55 I retired with my works pension
      not my state pension I'm not that old yet lol 😅
      but there is no way I am working till I am 67 just because this government can't get their finances together proceed to spend six-and-a-half million a day of people who are on low pay who pay tax to give the red carpet treatment to people who enter this country illegally there is no way am I struggling in all weathers to pay towards that " no way that's why I am on benefits as soon as I heard that story that made my mind up to retire as soon as I hit 55 🤔

      I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I don't actually have 'plenty of cash'. I have enough to just about get by, and I don't live extravagantly!
