As us older folk remember it half the country don't work half because rhey are better off on pips doing nothing. Our NHS Schools Dr surgery's are all at breaking point. When I was young every town village had kids playing football jumpers for posts.Today it's drugs knife crime and major issues with how to deal with immigration large numbers of British people feeling they come second to people coming in regarding housing dental and doctors. Where does it all go the events going on obviously are wrong But there is pure frustration which then gets fueled by certain individuals and groups. |  | | |  |

There's a huge difference between benefit fraud and receiving benefit when deemed unfit to work when in truth you could contribute. But really why should you. If you can sit at home, get benefits and possibly more than someone working legally. Conscience maybe ? All I know is that I worked from 13 until I was 71. Don't expect a medal for that. It was my choice. I don't agree with claimants who can work, but don't. But can understand the problems such as the cost of getting to work and the pay compared to what you might get on a benefit and also the add on's that come with them. However the Country needs to get to work and produce things that not only we in the UK needs, but also the rest of the World. Far too many excellent Companies sold to foreign Countries and also utility Companies that should never have been sold. | | | |

Nothing will change until the rich are forced to give up a large amount of their wealth. |  |

Think about it though. I would hazard a guess that at least 50% of the people on this forum know either directly or indirectly someone who could work but doesn't. Replicate that throughout the country and it's a lot of people. |
It's always contemptible to choose any group of people, without knowing any of their circumstances, and accuse them of some vague moral failing of which you, of course, are never guilty. | | | |

Long term sick you say. There are many people who are of working age who have health issues yes just as there are those with lazyitis. |
Tell me, do you think of yourself as lazy? If not, what do you think gives you the right to accuse all those people you don't know of actually choosing not to work? | | | |

Real concerns, but ignorance of the way to create proper sentences by using commas.
Right-wing attitudes always seem to be linked to a poor command of English. |
Says you with the word, “bolloc**” in his avatar! You’re hardly erudite. | | | |

The OP is correct - This Country is finished. Series three aired in 2020, and Daisy May Cooper has gone on to have a very successful career since then. |
It was brilliant to watch.The flight simulator in the caravan was great. |  |

I think you'll find it's the older folk who have left the younger folk absolutely FA. Now we have different economic crisis that will not be solved by selling off the nations stocks because we don't have anything.
The baby boomers had the best of it. They still do. They also are the largest proportion of the electorate that vote Tory. I wonder why? |  |

The idea that people are better off on PIPs (or any kind of benefits) than working is bizarre. Until recently I was overseeing one of the largest poverty advice services in London – most of our clients were social housing tenants and even with social rents, people on benefits do not have a cushy life – it's a real struggle. Some of the awful stories that our advisors would hear were genuinely quite distressing – it was not a job for the faint-hearted. The only way you can lead a decent life on benefits is to be (fraudulently) claiming benefits for multiple people, but only a tiny, tiny number of people are able to do this. |  | | |
