That remind sme the estranged wife went to the local council to see if they could offer her anything and the bastards turned around and said (i kid you not) "get your kid and her fella to move coz they are over eighteen and can live on benefits, and then you need to cancel the sale of your house because you wont be getting anything".

WTF??????????

I get Housing and Council Tax Benefit. In theory there are other Benefits available, but the government ensures that, on some technicality, one is not eligible for them, especially not someone who doesn't agree with the Government.

Then there's the way you get treated when you go to claim Benefits, there's no Compassion in the Welfare system and they make it as demeaning as possible, and that's enough to put anyone off.

The British Government spends many millions on Campaigns that make out everyone claiming Benefit is some kind of fraudster, even though most Benefit Fraud is committed by people who work in the Benefits system or by criminal gangs, and not by individual Claimants.

The New Fascist Government here got in on a Middle Class mandate, and they think the Middle Classes want the government to treat Claimants like sh*t, even though most of the MC people I know voted for what they believed to be a Labour Government because they wanted more Social Justice.

The New Fascists have made all Benefits less available to people who need them, they have also disappeared words having to do with Social Welfare. The Dept. of Social Security is now the Dept. of Work and Pensions and you don't get Unemployment Benefit any more you get 'job seekers allowance'. Even the condition of not being able to get Work whilst not being on a Pension is not recognised so that the Life of such a person is In Valid.

In order that the treatment of the Poorest in this Country (The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) should not be known the New Fascists destroyed up to 2 million documents having to do with such treatment prior to the introduction of a Freedom of Information Act (see Sig.)

Just don't get me started on Government treatment of the Poorest in this rotten Country.

Capitalism is taking over the World and the worst Crime anyone can commit is to be poor and therefore economically inactive. Even Murderers are treated better.

Mock if you must. I'm a carpenter/joiner. Not a bloody plumber. Trouble is there are not enough plumbers around, so they've got to use me...even I've got to do it myself, and I make mistakes.

I blame the government.

I must. Especially after the other day
