Question for everyone who moans about "scroungers"....would you if you lost your job refuse benefits ???
I left school at 18 in 1981 and was unemployed until I was 25,during this time I claimed benefits NOT because I was a scrounger but because it was and is my right.
Occasionally it does you good to wear the other mans sheer lack of empathy or any attempt at understanding in the condemnation of any benefit claimant as a scrounger shames the person who holds the view.
How much do any of us know about this girl or her circumstances?..next to nothing, how then can you condemn her ??
How much did the Mail pay for those happy smiling pictures?who did they pay ? is there not a note of hypocrisy in this ?
Finally, it may not be a good time to be condemning benefits claimants..we are all edging closer to joining them.
P.S. I pay my taxes in the belief that we all benefit from the welfare state and despite its many flaws I still believe this.
:thumbup: For me finding out I was expecting triplets at 17 (like the girl in the story I already had 1 child before I was that age I would be beside myself with worry, How in reality is she meant to go out to work?? Who would hire her pregnant with triplets?, Afterwards how is she meant to work and cope with the cost of having 4 kids cared for by childminders?
)
I prefer the original :idea:
