    I was brought up in a poor industrial Town. at 16 I GOT OUT OF THE PLACE. Don't sit around claiming benefits, move. Help yourself, don't expect the State to act as generous parents. Girls, stop having kids you can't afford. Young men, move to the jobs, not expect jobs to move to you.

      1. Freeze benefits for 10 years. What you get today is what you’ll get next year and so on. Allow income to be maintained at benefits plus inflation plus £1200, throughout that ten years to encourage the work you can do and make it pay….
      2. No new benefit claims from anyone who wasn’t born in the UK, or who hasn’t paid income tax for the previous 10 years…
      3. Reintroduce National Service for all at 18. If you don’t fancy the Military then alternatives will include care homes, elderly and social care, waste management etc. Measure this in hours. If they don’t show up it will take much longer to complete your hours. Only pay for hours worked. Young people’s health will improve whilst they see how those less fortunate suffer…
      4. Reduce income tax for those families, in employment, with 2 or more children…
      5. Provide one whole term fixed rate mortgage per married couple. This will make them wealthier over time in real terms and encourage families….
      6. Close the bloody borders!

But of course it’s not about reforms it’s purely about cost cutting. Just shows how easy it is for these commentators and criminals (don’t call journalists) to manipulate people into believing whatever they want you to believe.

    Benefits is worse than just money. It entices the breakup of families.
    About 8 years ago i was on £30k a year with 2 kids and a wife in Oxfordshire. We were struggling.
    My now ex wife found out what she'd get on Benefits and pretty slowly started backing away.
    The moment it was over, the government forms were filled out and she wanted to discuss child maintenance payments.
    She got a nice house in an affluent area paid for, bills, and added money into ger account, topped up with 16hrs a week tax free working.
    It's all so wrong. Even now, whilst we get along, i couldn't afford her lifestyle. Her new build 3 bed house, in a sought after cotswold village, would wipe out most of my current earnings.

Apply for pip, talk absolute shite on the form possibly get up to another £720 a month.

    In many circumstances it makes no sense to work. I do it because I was brought up with a strong worth ethic by my parents but if I went solely by the numbers, then it makes no sense.
    I have worked for the last 27 years. The last 20 doing 12 hour shifts. It's minimum wage with shift allowance on top. It works out gross about 30k per year which is very good for the town I live in where most people are lucky to earn 20k per year.
    Then there's the fact that the best paid people in the town are people like single mums. With all the discounted council tax and other help they get, they are living a life of a person earning 40k which no local worker earns.
    I know people who are working and are paying over 50% of their income on housing alone.
    Like I've said, I have always worked myself but I walk about with my eyes open and I can see why other people don't work. People are often worse off financially by working than if they claim benefits.
