My neighbours are a nice enough family, but are the classic benefit scroungers.

Three kids, all with supposed 'special needs' so they get grants etc. There are countless tales of their epic scrounging including having a complete loft conversion carried out FOC, and they never seem to be short of a money - big LCD TV, plenty of home delivery vans at the house, etc.

Today my wife went round there and the Mum told her that she would now have to get a job because of the change in benefits!!! Result - That's EXACTLY what the benefit system changes are designed to do and there are going be a LOT more like her around the country.

Labour's benefit system effectively paid people to stay at home! Not any more!!!

GET A FUCKING JOB! HA!
