"I wonder if they'll be visiting Buckingham Palace, as I heard on the news this morning her Majesty had asked the government for help in paying her utility bills. They came to just under £1m, but the old dear is struggling with £300m under her mattress!!
The people on the Jeremy Kyle show do get my goat, but the thought of the Queen asking for a handout as she "struggling" is infinitely worse!! "I'm positive it's not as clear cut as that. She knows full well that the backlash the Royal Family would get will be huge if she's asking for personal utility bills to be met by the state. If she is asking for assistance with the many stately homes occupied by the Royals but are open to the public then I believe she has a case. If gate reciepts are not covering the bills then she should not be expected to cough up out of her own money. The state are happy to take a cut from the profits when times are good so it must also be expected to bear a brunt of the burden when times are harder. No visitors means no income, and these homes are expensive to maintain and run. They are also an asset to our country and *should* be maintained properly. | |||

But I'm a simple gal and was looking at it in a simplistic way: if you have personal wealth of £300m, your family gets £38m from the Civil List - it takes some chutzpah to ask the tax payers to cough up another £1m for your lekkie!!  | |||

"Look closely at Kyle - he's wearing a scarf inside the house of the people he's interviewing. The house may look well appointed but I suspect the heating isn't on as they can't afford it... or it's just not as warm as Kyle's toasty home he's just come from." quite right, how are they supposed to pay heating bills on top of their holidays to egypt, bulgaria and portugal...in the last 2 yrs that £296 a week disposable must be difficult | |||

"The problem with the housing benifit though is the landlords will charge the maximum the goverment will pay - and why shouldn't they take advantage? House opposite us is a private DSS rent and it's the equivlent of £750 a month. We wouldn't get that for renting our house out on the normal market but it's the max for the number of bedrooms the landlord can charge and they are quite obviously going to charge that." I know. By accepting DSS tenants landlords are basically getting the mortgage paid by the state and earning them a nice little pension for later in life. No outlay for the mortgage, no outlay for the increase in value, and no outlay for the money they'll get later in life when they sell it. What a no brainer. Bring back work houses!! | |||

"The queen is just a waste of tax payers money Why should i pay money to keep her when im struggling to bring up 3 kids on my own? They say she brings revenue into the country, fair enough so let the country keep her, why should t**ts like me be taxed to keep her and the goverment and tax man make money out of her?" sorry but thats a very blinkered view. the queen generates way more money than she costs, and thats with out taking in to acount all the work generated overseas by her state visits. can you say the same? | |||

He should have called the police there and then as the company were breaking employment laws with their discrimination against British people, as well as probably employing a few illegals too. PM me the name of the company, I'll fookin do it in a heartbeat if you don't want to get involved personally. All it takes is a well placed phone call.  | |||

"i do feel sorry for those gen people out of work, but there are too many who arent looking for work. why not make them earn their dole by working, doing jobs that taxpayers have to pay for, like cutting grass in parks or some other usefull job" And what do we do with all the resulting unemployed council workers who do a fantastic job of looking after our public parks picking up dog shit that careless dog owners haven't picked up after their pooches. What happens to those genuine workers? Get the idle back to work sure, but let's not get back to the system past governments tried of creating jobs for the sake of getting the unemployed figures down. If there are genuine jobs that can be found then the long term unemployed should be looked at first, but I wouldn't want someone looking after essential public services doing it only because they are threatened with benefit cuts if they don't - what kind of levels of service do you think we'd be getting if we take that approach? It's the culture of thinking it's ok to spend one's life living off the state that we have to change and I've said it before on other threads, they need to be shamed for believing that that's ok. I said jokingly above "bring back the workhouses" but if that was looked at more seriously then a workable solution could be found to address the scrounger culture that exists in Britain today. | |||

"The forthcoming cap on immigration should go some way to addressing the problem of an influx of workers chasing after a reducing number of jobs and competing with local workers for them. It won't apply to EU citizens though and that encapsulates some 350m people, so it's going to be very difficult to find jobs for British workers with such a huge number of economic migrants coming here from EU countries, and, as the poster above said, they only have to be here for a year, working or not, and they then get access to all the benefits they manage to discover. There should be a three year or five year tarrif set for foreigners climbing onto the benefit system over here. At least that would deter some of them from even contemplating arriving on our shores with their caps already glued to their open hands." Why should foreigners have to wait three years? That is most unfair after they have paid taxes. People who have never worked or paid taxes can claim assistance if born in the United Kingdom. People who have paid taxes should have priority over ones who have never contributed no matter where they originated from. | |||

Often economic migrants to the UK have not contributed at all. They struggle here for a year, disappear off the radar at times, stay with friends or relatives who have already completed the qualifying criteria... and then, when the year is up, and they've learned about all the scams going from friends/relatives already doing it.. off they go to the DSS, with their greedy grubby little paws clutching a hatful of already completed forms and a bank account number to start receiving funds that they haven't earned.

"When I worked for a company clearing out offices, they were told to collect all the furniuture out of an immigration office which they did. It arrived at the warehouse and then came out to us. The immigration people had't made a good job of clearing out because I found a file on just one family. They had arrived in the UK illegally and had immediately signed on. They were put up in a hotel and a large cash payment to cover them until they got their first cheque. They were then given a house The medical crap reads like you couldn't make it up! Mrs can't work because she has a heart condition. Mr can't work because he has a bad back. Oldest kid can't work because he has to look after mum & dad! Other kids, one enrolled in college (no English so translator brought in as she is depressed and wants to study!)Other kid was enroled in the local school and also had a translator and private English lessons. They were to be deported but what with appeals, they were in the country 8 (yes, EIGHT!) years and now because the mothers heart condition has got worse, can't be sent back and have been given leave to stay! Firstly, they should have been turned around at the airport as many other countries do. Secondly, if they were allowed in they should have been able to support themselves and prove they could like many other countries do. According to the documents, they were still recieving all their benefits 11 years after arriving and the kids have joined them on the gravy train because they are too depressed to work! This document makes scary reading and just shows what a soft touch we are in the UK! Before this island sinks below the waves, lets get a backbone and tell the PC brigade to get lost!" but you'll be told this is hearsay because you didn't have the relevant security clearance to read that profile! so it didn't happen | |||

"An easy way with benifits, is to do a reform so that money given for bills should go straight to the supplier instead of the beneficiary. I have sympathy that many times the social funds will not cover all living expense's but those with the nous and ability can still survive comfortably and if they can't then they should strive to get a job. " I always wondered if that would be possible, pay credits to utility suppliers and supermarkets, allow them a less modest amount for the miscellaneous day to day things. ...though there will always be those who protest about human rights. | |||

" great respect for those that work hard. ------ Couple of problems with that though." Number one is how many people do you think the state would have to emply to pay the bills of all those claiming benefits? More jobs are needed and would also be putting the money straight into the companys which will result in it re-entering the financial market quicker. Especially since british gas is a large supplier it would actually raise its stock market value and increase the stregnth of the pound. And how do you reconcile that with an effort to shrink government, government spending and the size of the state? Since it is not my choice in goverment policy I can not reconcile their policys with out information. How ever the basic principle of goverment is to look after those you govern first before all else. If this country keeps growing as such an alarming rate, than I can not see how a smaller goverment would be beneficiary. Unless all those members of Goverment are extreamly skilled in there field of work ( other than lying and mis-leading) than I believe it is not I but the goverment who should reconcile... Number two is that those people are paying the bills anyway with the same money you want to employ someone to send for them. Those that pay there bills would not mind the time n stress taken away from them, would be one less job to do for so many on benifits, and also partly answered in previous reply with the value of the pound. Also 1 person can do many bills in the day due to technology, so the amount of time saved for those unemployed can have that little bit extra to job hunt. ( If possiable) If they weren't paying the gas, water and electric the utility companies would be on to them quick smart anyway. Are you saying all the folks on benefits are somehow getting free gas, electric and water? If you can show me where I stated this I will eat my blackberry now. That is a ridiculous assesment from what I wrote. That view would only apply to those that are ignorant, reason I believe my opinion can count a little is my experience and of those I know. Money from the social often suppliments other use's for which they were not intended... | |||

"I agree westlondonsaint is a credit in today's society, My 24 year old son as been lucky enough to be in steady employment since leaving school, he lives with his girlfriend who works part time and they have worked it out they would be better off on the dole but have decided that is not the way they want to go, as I said in my previous post, I have no other option but to be on benefit but I am not going to try all the angles others go to to get more than I am actually entitled to as that is despicable" I respect what you wrote and agree your son is fortunate to have been in employment for so long and he is a credit to you. Evidently raised him with principles and morals. The big stereotype of those on benefits are almost always chavtastic peeps, immigrants and the 'lower claSs' how ever people claim from all walks of life and I dnt believe they should scrap benefits as there are many people who genuinely need them. Its like cutting down a whole apple tree because of few bad apples... As time goes on the system will have to change and evolve to cope with the numbers of illegitimate claims, the sooner the better obviously but it is inevitable. And maybe the stereotype will fade... And I wish your son and his miss's good luck. | |||

Yeah like she was realy good for this country, it's vital that we import coal and not mine our own now is it not?" 5 months ago it was a Labour govt and this new govt hasn't even begun to make changes to the benefits system yet so everything you have experienced you can attribute to Labour.

" Now here's the most important part. Mrs Chav cannot do ANY of this if she has a single credit to her name for having contributed to the system. The moment you do that you have proven you are WILLING TO WORK and you are moved off of the 'Fucking Lazy Cunt But What Can We Do' database, to the 'Ah, Gotcha At Last' database, and then you're mightily fucked and have to resort to crime yourself to supplement whatever the kids bring in from a hard day's robbing at Tesco's. That's the system. Good innit." my brother spent time in hospital after having a brain operation for a tumour,within weeks the dole were wanting him in for interviews and tests to prove his suitability and fitness to get get him back to work as soon as possible!,if you have ever worked in your life you are a marked man,you are a worker!, and they will hound you back into work,whereas if you are a lowlife scumbag who is not into work and would prefer to cheat and scam your way through life they will allow you to and even throw benefits at you!. | |||

I was a volunteer for the CAB for a while and it blew alot of misconceptions I had about benefits the HB was capped a while back to stop abuse like this and its lined up to get tougher it was capped at £1600 PER MONTH prior to that it was £8000 PER MONTH !!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10378868" blimey! I know they capped singles at £92 but it fluctuates (between 85 and 98) in north, I know because was doing a benefit check for a client a while back the plan is to reduce it to make it harder (by 15% I think) I don't agree with teh benefit abuses but I think they could fiund the money elsewaer and also they aren't askin the right questions to begin with IE. the debt is fiat anyway paid on interest the gov loaned from a privately owned Bank of Englad..yes folks privatly owned The Crown is not the queen the Cron is a corporation in London square mile (teh Warburgs, Rothchilds etc own the FEd reserve too by the way) its the biggest scam on the planet looking at John Maynard Jkeynes writing when they set up the IMF they said its next phase was a finacial world structure to manage soverign debt it was all planned hence the FAbian comment in my profile we're the mushrooms people..kept in the dark and fed...you know what | |||
