Making people sign on every day will end up costing more as plenty of people have to travel to job centre as not one in their town so they can claim their. Travel expenses back. Our job centre closed down a few years ago so if I were signing on as I isn't have a car I'd have to get the train/bus which is about £6 return. | |||

"If some needs benefits I haven't got a problem with that. What I have a problem with is the people that will never work and just keep breeding. My three children are going to end up working to support their 6 children. Times that by hundreds and you soon realise that this country will be fucked.... Even more than it already is... Sort out benifits, immigration and over paid MPs and get this country back on it's feet..." what if one of your childrens partners fucks off and leaves said child raising offspring.. or hopefully not has an accident at work and ends up incapable of work.. or as with about 25% of the population suffers a mental health issue.. sadly with any of us these things can occur and others may well look upon such folk as not working benefit scroungers.. but suppose you'll be ok with that..? | |||

As I've said some people need benefits I don't have a problem with that. I do have a problem with people on benefits having 5 or 6 children with 4 or more partners, having never done a days work. I have a huge problem with the fact that you can work your whole life and then fall ill or need care and you get no help and the government take what you have saved. Yet people on benifits or immigrants can get the same level of care having never paid into the system. When benefits were introduced it was to help the poorest of the poor. Not to pay for cars, tvs, xboxes, holidays etc...If the state pension still worked on the original system it would not be paid until people were well over 100 years old... That I don't agree with but benefits are often paid out to people who just can't be arsed... | |||

"The new system is a joke! After working all my life and paying my taxes..I was unfortunate to start to have issues with my health and claimed Incapacity benefit and all was well..then I go on to have the ESA medical which they award me ESA benefit. Now the problem, I get this for the 1st year but after that I go on to means tested ESA, so they look at my family income..my wife is lucky to have a good job..so they punish me by taking my benefit away,even though I have paid for 30 years into the system, even worse I even payed tax on my Incapacity benefit and ESA as I was again lucky that I had an insurance policy to cover me for sickness while off work. I expect to lose my car soon once I switch over to PIP, but I see another problem when I buy a car for myself and the insurance company then ask for my no claims and find I have had a mobility car for the past 6 years, bet they will load my insurance to death even though my condition means I do not have to inform the DVLA! My point being if you pay in you do expect to get something back, when you are in need!!!!" So you expect the government to pay you benefits even though your wife earns enough to keep you? If I've read it right, then you're NOT in need! | |||

"When you brand someone a lazy scrounge have you stopped to consider why they have stopped looking for work? I was made redundant 18 months ago, I signed on and did everything they asked took all their advice and it resulted in nothing. In 6 months I applied for 250+ jobs and I never got a single reply, I requested feedback from everyone I applied to and they didn't bother with that request either, I eventually got work through family contacts because the jobcentre was there Just to create work for themselves. It's easy to slag people off for not trying but when you have been kicked in the guts by rejection after rejection you want to stop the pain and stop putting yourself through it by stop trying, that's why a lot of unemployment benefits claimants are not actively seeking work." That could also be due to too much immigration (mostly from within the EU which we have no control over while we are members of it). There are too many people here and not enough jobs to go around. | |||

Way to not understand how being a VAT reg. company works! You charge VAT on your sales (so the customer pays it) and reclaim it on your purchases, so we have no idea how much Cafe Nero paid in VAT, however, given that most foodstuffs are vatable at 0%....... | |||

After working all my life and paying my taxes..I was unfortunate to start to have issues with my health and claimed Incapacity benefit and all was well..then I go on to have the ESA medical which they award me ESA benefit. Now the problem, I get this for the 1st year but after that I go on to means tested ESA, so they look at my family income..my wife is lucky to have a good job..so they punish me by taking my benefit away,even though I have paid for 30 years into the system, even worse I even payed tax on my Incapacity benefit and ESA as I was again lucky that I had an insurance policy to cover me for sickness while off work. I expect to lose my car soon once I switch over to PIP, but I see another problem when I buy a car for myself and the insurance company then ask for my no claims and find I have had a mobility car for the past 6 years, bet they will load my insurance to death even though my condition means I do not have to inform the DVLA! My point being if you pay in you do expect to get something back, when you are in need!!!! So you expect the government to pay you benefits even though your wife earns enough to keep you? If I've read it right, then you're NOT in need!" So YOU believe that if someone has never worked or paid in the system, should get benefits, but those who have worked and paid in should get a thing? When I paid my money in it had nothing to do with what my wife earned but once you want something out it does! | |||

You don't work and pay into a system for YOU to draw it out should you consider it a need, or "want". It is there for all of US who pay into the system IF we need it according to government criteria. FFS it isn't a bank account where you put savings into. | |||

"The real problem isn't thoughs on benefits.its the large multi nationals that dodge paying taxes , caffe nero hasn't payed a penny in tax since 2007 despite sales of £1 billion, thats whats criminal true, but its raised 20% of £1 billion in VAT towards the Treasury's coffers..that's £200m.. Way to not understand how being a VAT reg. company works! You charge VAT on your sales (so the customer pays it) and reclaim it on your purchases, so we have no idea how much Cafe Nero paid in VAT, however, given that most foodstuffs are vatable at 0%......." You are almost correct. A large percentage of its turnover is classed as "hot" and hence will pay output VAT on this, and then it will claim back VAT on its purchases against this which will mostly be zero rated (minimal)...So a fairly hefty amount wings its way to the Treasury each year. Granted, its our money as the consumer thats being paid over. Its just a form of wealth distribution, rightly or wrongly .. | |||

Sorry, but that's a misunderstanding of VAT. VAT is a sales tax and so is paid by whoever buys the goods not whoever sells them. Saying a business contributes when it hands over VAT is akin to saying that they contribute when they pay the PAYE and nic that their employees have deducted from pay, disingenuous to say the least | |||

"Its propaganda and bullshit. The welfare bill may cost billions but actual unemployment benefit is only 10.75% of the total amount spent, what is the biggest pay-out is to pensioners followed by other benefits to top up low wages. This means that employers are being subsidised by the taxpayer because they don't pay a living wage, and the govt dare not have a go at those at the end of their working life who have earned their pension. So, they are misleading everyone and are turning society on itself by singling out a minority as a scapegoat for what ails the country. It will only rectify itself when those who point the finger at others as scroungers are actually unemployed themselves and see how hard it is to get a job and how little they actually receive in benefits as a job seeker." sir I salute you all the his tory propaganda is bollocks all they want too do is turn us against each other together we stand divided we fall | |||

If you don't like it, immigration works both ways. " No i don't like it and thats why i vote UKIP. Also as someone else already pointed out on the thread, if you are suggesting i leave the country, that would be emigration. Even though i was born here in the UK i did look into moving to Australia a few years ago, at least they have a sensible and controlled approach to immigration there, and are not dictated to by the EU. I think everyone agree's some immigration is needed here in the UK, just no where near on the scale it is currently happening. The current policy of open door to the EU is just plain madness, and is having an effect on british workers not being able to get jobs when they do want to work. | |||

"Dont people on good incomes get family allowance? " Yes, but in reality this is a nominal amount, I'm surprised they haven't phased it out. This discussion is a tricky one to be honest. Our perceptions of the benefits system are largely predicated on what we hear from soapboxing politicians and the media, it's hardly an impartial source of info. I agree that there are many people who cheat the system (I even know a few), and I also agree that some people really don't need to be on benefits. But, for starters, there are many who really do need to be on benefits to sustain themselves. Unemployment is still high amongst certain demographics, largely because we live in a capitalist society, where it is how useful a particular individual can be to an employer that matters, and those unable to make the cut must languish. Sadly, this sometimes manifests as something as trivial as the fact a rapport has already been created between employer and prospective employee, because he knows his dad and is doing him a favour ,or some nonsense like that. Moreover, it's almost as though people on benefits has become some kind of subculture, where entire generations are born, raised, and die on the dole. They know nothing else, and are either ignorant of or unable to obtain another, more self-sufficient life. It's all rather gloomy, but to be honest, there isn't really a better way of managing things. We can't let those who have merely been unfortunate or made bad decisions in life to suffer the ordeal of destitution, yet in creating such a large welfare system, we have to acknowledge people who shouldn't be there will sometimes slip through. I would say the best remedy for any inefficiencies people believe there to be would be a) do something to dispel the benefits culture that seems so prevalent in the UK. Make people who have been on benefits for a long time, and actually want to live independently, believe they can aspire to more, and spend more money on training these people with apprenticeships rather than just forking out every week. b) Introduce stricter methods of assessing who is eligible for such benefits. I know for a fact that many people are unfairly claiming. I even know people who have immigrated here for the sole purpose of receiving benefits! And to those who say "how can we afford this all?" I believe the government has FAR more money than we are led to believe...we hear them complain of a recession, but oddly, they seem to have plenty of money to meddle in the affairs of other countries, claim outrageous expenses, and generally act in a devious manner. | |||

"speaking as someone who is on benefits i dont want to be on benefits and i am not on them by choice it also doesnt help where we have programs like jeremy kyle and benefits street who paint us all in the same colour when that clearly isnt the case there is only a certain ammount of jobs and the ammount of people far exceed the ammount of available jobs so we are going to have people out of work what should be happening is the people who want to be on benefits because that cant be bothered to find work should be kicked off and the people who want a job should be helped and not discriminated and put down consistantly also the government spends 11 billion pounds every year on foreign aid which is extremely high when you compare how much other countries better off give they should stop foreign aid and start spending the 11 billion pounds each year on the employment sector that way companies would be in a better position to make jobs available and we would have a much better econemy as people would be in work and more financially secure but of course it will never happen the ammount of people in this country will always greatly exceed the ammount of work available " But you have a job at donkey dicks working on the doors don't you? | |||

After working all my life and paying my taxes..I was unfortunate to start to have issues with my health and claimed Incapacity benefit and all was well..then I go on to have the ESA medical which they award me ESA benefit. Now the problem, I get this for the 1st year but after that I go on to means tested ESA, so they look at my family income..my wife is lucky to have a good job..so they punish me by taking my benefit away,even though I have paid for 30 years into the system, even worse I even payed tax on my Incapacity benefit and ESA as I was again lucky that I had an insurance policy to cover me for sickness while off work. I expect to lose my car soon once I switch over to PIP, but I see another problem when I buy a car for myself and the insurance company then ask for my no claims and find I have had a mobility car for the past 6 years, bet they will load my insurance to death even though my condition means I do not have to inform the DVLA! My point being if you pay in you do expect to get something back, when you are in need!!!! So you expect the government to pay you benefits even though your wife earns enough to keep you? If I've read it right, then you're NOT in need! So YOU believe that if someone has never worked or paid in the system, should get benefits, but those who have worked and paid in should get a thing? When I paid my money in it had nothing to do with what my wife earned but once you want something out it does! It's a case that should be looked upon, on it's own merits. You don't work and pay into a system for YOU to draw it out should you consider it a need, or "want". It is there for all of US who pay into the system IF we need it according to government criteria. FFS it isn't a bank account where you put savings into." It's called National Insurance for a reason..it's an insurance policy for when you are unable to work through loss of job, or ill health/disability. I would hate to pay my house insurance to find out that because my wife had a job they didn't pay out but someone up the road hadn't bought house insurance was paid out because they were in need !!!!! This is the beginning, what if they said to people who had a private pension sorry you cannot have your state pension, you got loads of money saved up, but the bloke across the road didn't go to work so he'll have yours!!! Finally what do you know about my NEED for the money? The fact is if you have a spouse that has a job (with only a relatively modest income) you won't get any ESA after a year. | |||

"Thanks to.the media a lot of people think they are all scroungers. I have seen both sides of the fence I'm an electrician by trade but gave up work to care for my mother who has fms and cancer now I rely on the state but am classed as a less then others, But what most people fail to see is I'm saving the country 1000's if i didn't look after her they would have to fork out for 24 hour nursing I get some time off but not much but its my mum so I do it for love. and you work harder than most in "paid" jobs too . good for you . i know im a carer for my disabled child so its 24/7 keep up the good work hun x people who slag off us on benefits need to get their facts straight first " I did 10 years caring for my disabled sister from the age of 25. With 3 children and an abusive husband I can tell you it was hard. Losing those career building years didn't help and it took it's toll on me physically. People don't see the person behind the benefit | |||

"speaking as someone who is on benefits i dont want to be on benefits and i am not on them by choice it also doesnt help where we have programs like jeremy kyle and benefits street who paint us all in the same colour when that clearly isnt the case there is only a certain ammount of jobs and the ammount of people far exceed the ammount of available jobs so we are going to have people out of work what should be happening is the people who want to be on benefits because that cant be bothered to find work should be kicked off and the people who want a job should be helped and not discriminated and put down consistantly also the government spends 11 billion pounds every year on foreign aid which is extremely high when you compare how much other countries better off give they should stop foreign aid and start spending the 11 billion pounds each year on the employment sector that way companies would be in a better position to make jobs available and we would have a much better econemy as people would be in work and more financially secure but of course it will never happen the ammount of people in this country will always greatly exceed the ammount of work available But you have a job at donkey dicks working on the doors don't you? " The plot thickens.... | |||

I assume you've been assessed and your household income exceeds your eligibility to claim benefits. This repeated comparison to what others get is irrelevant. | |||

"There maybe people that abuse the system,that's where more checks should be given to stop this However the benefits are still a good thing I've worked all my life since 14yrs old,over the years I used ssp for a operation,maternity pay for 2babys and now for first time a year ago as husband left,I'm getting one third my rent paid and little child and working tax credit for one child I'm still working but without two wages coming in I need assistance,I'm not taking the Mick out the system,there there to help people when they need it.I've never been out of work as qualified I jump straight into more work even when made redundant or have moved.I just don't earn anough to support a family on my own,so in my case I need them,and as I do work I drive a banger and always skint but surviving that's the main thing So don't knock it there may be a time where you have to use it " well done for getting yourself out there to earn a wage and yes you are (in my opinion) a genuine claimant as you are working but just need that extra help | |||

"Why should families be paid for having children. If you can't feed them then don't breed them." And did your parents not receive child benefit? | |||

The point I'm trying to make is not about me but others who may have worked hard, paid into the system, but if their spouse has a modest income, they will not get any help with their disability. I was using my own experience to try to show this..for me it is irrelevant..I would not receive anything after a year because of my own income from my employers insurance policy, who thankfully also give me extra for the money I do not receive from the Government, but I am still disabled, paid in get nothing out...Think I need to be a politician so I can get my second mortgage paid!!!!!! | |||
