Not bad being Prime Minister without doing a days work in his life.

Saying that, didn't you just spend all your time in the pub?

Can't say I'm endeared to him,but I hope I'm savvy enough to realise that most of what I know about him is fed by sensationalist news papers and biased reporting. That doesn't include the dreaded FB!

Trouble with Britain is that we generally hate anyone in authority and moan how we could do a better job,but never step up to do it.

What do you define as a day's work ?

I'm pretty sure he has been employed continuously since university.

Not a fan of any politician to be honest BUT if everyone in this country put in the kind of hours work as most of them do this country would be truly great.

Too many lazy arses happy to sit on thier backsides getting money for nothing and still moaning about how shit life is.

If a Hamilton is getting £400-£500 pw and yes that includes rent, family allowance etc then at least one of the parents should be given a job to do to earn it at least 40 hours pw.

There are some that cannot I grant you but most of the wasters is see are quite capable of working they just have this attitude that they can get the same money by not working, so they justify it

Ok. Politics is:

- people playing with other people, who might wanna participate or not, and taking their money, shovelling it around, finding new ways to take money, playing with the money, giving it to people with lots of money who want more money, creating more debt for people who might have wanted to participate or not, making rules, changing the rules, making rules only for yourself coz you're above rules, kushty money, benefits for the rich, slag off the poor. Liberals. Ukip. EU, USA, china, fiscal finance, printing money, socialism, not feeding socialism, fighting for the right to make and break the rules, being snidey, being sneaky, lying, saying one thing and doing the opposite, no repercussions from any of this, war, death, poverty, abundance, hypocrisy, anything you want it to be.

I'm not one for demonising those on benefits. Out of curiousity I've been watching the Great Benefit Handout where they gave three families their benefits for the year in one lump sum to do what they want.

£26,000 is £500 a week.

See that's the trouble. ..some people think politics is simply about picking a team and opposing everything the other team pledges to do.

There are good and bad policies in all parties and let's face it,no party is going to please every individuals circumstances.

Not really. It's not a nice thing to acknowledge moe like.

I totally would like to think Cameron loved his son and talks about him because of that but he has used him to act like he empathises and cares about things like the NHS and disability rights while taking away from these things.

I know some single people are on £70 pw but that's plus rent and council tax discount is it not?

I'm not saying it's easy far from it but it. Meant to be a stop gap until you find work of some sort.

It's a con trick Dee, used by people to belittle people on benifits to make them out to be bigger scroungers.

Years ago housing benifits was paid directly to the council now it's paid to the person who then has to pay it to who ever owns the house.

The reason it's high is to do with the buy to rent people that Dave loves.

An old next door neighbour of mine was on benifits due to the illness he had from taking too many drugs.... On my last day at the house he and his mum told me what he got in benifits.

If you take into account housing ben, council tax, disability etc then he was getting £500 a week.....

It's not that hard to get such amounts.....

If you mean just JSA or whet ever it's called now then yes 70 is all it will be, but there is far more to benifits than just this

Life isn't fair though is it?

In a world filled with disability prejudice still, it's not fair to be disabled. That's why you get extra money, to help you fit into society and be as much like someone able as you can. Cuts have been made to services for the disabled so they aren't as well off as you would like to think despite being able to claim several hundred £ a week in benefits.

In a world where having somewhere to live, food to eat, and all the basic necessities you need for life cost money, then it's not fair to allow people to go without these things for lack of money.

Technology has replaced a lot of people, hey we like technology until it fucks over and then that's not fair either.

There's never been enough work for everyone who wants it, that's not really fair either.

And sure as the politicians we're slagging off for being lazy and greedy there will be people of our own kind just as bad, and they aren't fair too sure. The system is there to help genuine people, and like all systems it can be exploited but it's necessary to keep it because of those genuine people.

No it's not fair you work a lot for a wage, but loads of people would love to be in your position for some strange reason.

There is a good chance these families couldn't earn £500 a week.

Don't forget most of this is made up of buy to rent landlords charging far more then a council would.

That I'd an unfair and untrue statement, IF Dave loved the buy to rent people why has he just upped the tax on them? Without individuals going into debt for buy to let properties there would be considerably more homeless people in the country, it's the council that sold off housing stock at below cost price and never replaced it that created the problem.

Buy to let landlords get a bad press, but without them there would be a lot more problems.

And yes, I am one, paying off mortgages and paying the tax man and with 2 tenants paying to evict them with a combined debt of 18 months rent plus court and bailiff fees. I am not a greedy rip off merchant, just someone who saved my wages and invested in property.

Wouldn't it depend on the family ? Benefits Britain always show the very worst cases. Not the family, where they always worked and then the main provider had a sudden medical condition which resulted in them losing their job, then their house etc. Yes some milk the system , but not everyone does.

The benefits system is a safety net - yes I agree it needs tweaking, but it is a necessity for some of the vulnerable members of our society.

"Not a fan of any politician to be honest BUT if everyone in this country put in the kind of hours work as most of them do this country would be truly great.

Too many lazy arses happy to sit on thier backsides getting money for nothing and still moaning about how shit life is.

If a Hamilton is getting £400-£500 pw and yes that includes rent, family allowance etc then at least one of the parents should be given a job to do to earn it at least 40 hours pw.

There are some that cannot I grant you but most of the wasters is see are quite capable of working they just have this attitude that they can get the same money by not working, so they justify it

If you think people get £400-500pw in benefits, you are in cloud cuckoo land.

It's more like £70pw for most people.

I'm not one for demonising those on benefits. Out of curiousity I've been watching the Great Benefit Handout where they gave three families their benefits for the year in one lump sum to do what they want.

£26,000 is £500 a week.

It's a fascinating programme and I'm hoping they do well, but I think they've been set up to fail.

Please sir can i have the £500 a week

I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."

Get real talk sense and come back when you are all grown up.

I think there's a fagging war on between the blond pig and Cameron, resuscitated from their earlier years.

Cameron was always a lightweight PR boy spin machine for party head. Both of them are pretty vile specimens of the human race. They'll play school games around the European theme as it doesn't really matter too much to them.

You hit the nail on the head right there with the word idiot.

You can look on the gov official website at how much benefits anyone is entitled to. Google 'uk benefits calculator'.

And don't forget people who get sanctioned get less than that. Some pay rent out of their benefits that are supposed to be for day to day things like food, heating and other household stuff, so that should come off the amount calculated but isn't, some pay council tax as well. We all pay VAT and tax on our heating/electricity too, employed or not and might be the reason why people are able to claim tax credits?

Housing benefit or Universal credit is cut to enforce the cap, dependent on what you claim.

I will note for you that out-of-work benefits applies the the sick or disabled and their carers, as well as the unemployed, pensioners who are disabled so get extra money on top of their pension to help with that (incapacity benefit), widows, and single parents. It does not include those who have been sanctioned as they aren't classed as on any benefits nor unemployed.

""14% of capped households were claiming

Jobseeker’s Allowance.

•17% were claiming Employment and Support

Allowance.

•51% were claiming Income

Support.

•7% were claiming Carer’s Allowance.

•91% were claiming Child Tax Credits.

•1% were claiming Bereavement Allowance.

•1% were claiming Housing Benefit only.""

So 14% were actively seeking work or in .gov training schemes but got their benefits capped.

17% were on the lowest amount of disability payments (ESA) yet still got their benefits capped.

51% were claiming IS, this benefit is a top up payment you claim when you haven't got enough benefits to live on according to the law and is only paid to people deemed unable to work, short term or long term. So financially vulnerable people who might also be like carers, and single parents with a child under the age of 1 year old.

7% are caring for a disabled dependent, it's also likely they'll also be on income support.

91% had children.

1% were widows.

1% only claimed housing benefits and that got capped somehow.

£500 a week is the maximum a household of people on benefits can receive a week, it's the cap amount and is not the amount everyone is entitled to. You can also look up official government statistics on how many are getting that amount. I got this extract from a gov pdf on their own data site.

""Benefit Cap Quarterly Statistics: GB households capped to November 2015

The Government has introduced a cap on the total amount of benefits that working-age households can

receive.

This means that, in general, households on out-of-work benefits no longer receive more in welfare payments than the average weekly wage for working

households.

This Summary contains official statistics on households that have had their Housing Benefit capped from 15 April 2013 (when the benefit cap was

introduced) to November 2015 (the latest available figures). It includes cumulative and point-in-time figures on the number of capped households (caseload) as well as information on households who have moved off the benefit cap (off-flows).

Main Findings:

Cumulative measures - Since the introduction of the benefit cap on 15 April 2013 to November

2015:

•69.9 thousand households had their Housing Benefit capped.

•45% of households affected by the benefit cap were in London.

•Of the top 20 Local Authorities with the highest number of households affected by the benefit cap, only 3

were outside London – Birmingham, Edinburgh and Manchester.

Snapshot measures-Of data extracted in November 2015:

•21.0 thousand households had their Housing Benefit capped.

This is a decrease of 2.4 thousand (10%) from 23.4 thousand households in August 2015.

•84% of capped households were capped by £100 or less a week.

•60% of capped households had between 1 and 4 children and 34% had 5 or more children.

•65% of capped households constituted a single parent with child dependant(s).

Off-flow measures-Of data extracted in November 2015:

•48.9 thousand households (70%) who have (previously) had their Housing Benefit capped are no longer subject to the cap as at November 2015.

Of these, 20.4 thousand households

are exempt with an open Working Tax Credit claim, which is 42% of those

no longer subject to the cap.""

Boring i know.

"Why do they get sanctioned ?

"

They have a contract to fulfil, you have to do certain things to get paid JSA or UC. Your money got stopped and you had to make a new claim or claim hardship payments, many went without money because they were not aware of hardship payments and were not informed of them.

I've seen people get sanctioned for not doing things they actually have done, like not going to a job fair that they went to...they stopped stopping peoples money now and give them a chance to appeal a sanction because most sanctions were unfair and turned over at appeal anyway.
