Ain't no bedroom tax. You still get most of your council tax benefit I believe, you don't lose it all so chuck a couple of quid on for that. i was comfortable inside the £53 anyway.Number 5 wrote:Single bloke living in a bedsit/studio in London.
There's your food. And for 25 nicker I think I was being quite generous. I could do it on my own for £20.Number 5 wrote:£25 all in on your weekly shop.
Ok we'll do internizzle too. Join your local library for free and use it there for free to sent off your Universal Credit shit.
It's not ideal, I get that. But it is liveable on.

Internet ain't no luxury these days, it's an essential. Try walking into your local Jobcentre & tell em you've got no net connection.... Sirens, alarms, lazers, shutters come down on the windows, people hide under their desks. Mayhem.Number 5 wrote:internet?

I'll bite. Even though just above is my pound free way of getting your ass on the net.
Job Centre will give you access to the internet to send your CV to prospective employers. They will give you access to the internet to hunt mother fucking jobs. It was my JC advisor who turned me onto http://www.indeed.co.uk/ and would search jobs for my unemployed ass on that very site every two weeks when I went to scratch on.

Re: Ian Duncan Smith is a total twat
The benefit system has always encouraged people to produce more children than they could reasonably be able to afford.
It's a ridiculous system. Having children is a privilege. Not an excuse to rip off tax payers. And getting a very nice unearned income. If I was a foreigner, from a poor background, I would definitely come to a country which gives me free housing and food in my belly. And extra money for every child I can produce. Nobody could blame me for wanting a better life. And if I was a British person with the same attitude then the same thing applies.
This country is fucked.

Re: Ian Duncan Smith is a total twat
I cant for the life of me understand why the idea of limiting the number of children per mother that child benefit can be claimed for hasn't been seriously considered. Simple solution, easily administered. Two kids and after that you pay for them yourself. It's crazy that the system of paying for kids hasn't changed since the end of the war when the country had a population shortage. This island is packed to the rafters, we can't find jobs or houses for the ones here already and yet we're paying people to have as many kids as they like!olgitgooner wrote:The benefit system has always encouraged people to produce more children than they could reasonably be able to afford.

Re: Ian Duncan Smith is a total twat
What you need to do is move to Oireland and become a single mother! If you can become a 2 by 2 (two kids from two different dads) all the better!! Free accommodation, all the furnishings, appliances, heat, fuel and clothing allowances and cash in hand! And all paid for by my taxes! Yay!
My missus was a chef (now a “homemaker”
) and the last restaurant she worked in had 3 girls working as kitchen preps. One of them was yacking on about only having had 2 holidays to Spain that year and how she’d “go out of her mind” if she didn’t get at least another one, hopefully two, hols in Spain under her belt before Xmas. Turns out she was a single mother, with all the benefits and was also getting €400 a week into the hand on the black for working part time as a prep. I was killing myself working, my missus was killing herself working, we paid our taxes and we could afford one holiday a year and then this bitch does a few hours work when it suited her and was averaging 3 to 4 holidays a year! And the fucking whore still wasn’t happy!
When the Social here majorly clamped down on fraud a few years ago the owner of that restaurant told all staff they had to go legit and the prep quit because she wouldn’t have as much disposable income every week if she worked full time, gave up all her benefits, and earned honest money and paid her taxes and her own bills etc.
A mate of mine that works in Social here calls a particular type of single mother “professionally pregnant”. Some of these little skangers will have 5 or 6 kids with 3 or 4 different blokes and basically live in a 4 or 5 bedroom mini mansion paid for by my taxes and then never work a day in their miserable life. Here’s one for ya – if they are in a two bedroom house with a kid and then have a kid of a different gender the Social will move them to a 3 bedroom house.
I’m all for helping people in genuine need, like people that have lost their job through no fault of their own, and have worked hard and paid taxes, but it pisses me off that just because some little slag can’t keep her legs closed or doesn’t have the fucking basic intelligence to use contraception, or is a manipulative lazy bitch, she can live for free, never work and we the taxpayer has to pay for it.
Not having a pop at single parents in general here – many are single parents through various circumstances and many work hard and honestly and I respect that no end because it’s hard enough being a parent when there’s two of you. It’s just that particular brand of single mother skanger that plays the system that really piss me off.
I blame Arsene Wenger.

Re: Ian Duncan Smith is a total twat
I'm all in favour of chasing the type of people DB10 has described above and it's appalling that this can go on but they are a tiny percentage of the overall people on benefits. Like many things in life the minority fuck it up for the majority and a lot of people who genuinly can't work or can't find work will be worse off due to these benefit cuts where as these scrounging c*nts will find other ways of playing the system. Its unfair to label everyone on benefits scroungers which is what the government have basically done.........
They would be far better off finding the tax scams/loopholes that big earners and big business' use and clobbering them for that cash which will earn them mega bucks rather than chasing the little people for what probably works out to be next to nothing in the grand scheme of things
