Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

stretching it a bit to call one's pension a benefit but still
what happens if, for whatever reasons, you haven't made (m)any pension contributions during your potential working life?
do you still qualify for a full state pension?

CYNIC THEY MAKE IT UP TO £130 AWEEK PLUS FREE RENT AND C.T


GOLD ANSWER MY QUESTION YES OR NO TO SPENDING THEIR MONEY AND RELY ON THE STATE SIMPLE ANSWER YES OR NO

THE PUB DOWN THE ROAD FULL EVER DAY WITH DOLE DOSSERS
THE WORKERS AT THE LOCAL FACTORY CAN NOT EVEN AFFORD TO GO TWICE A WEEK . KIDS IN PRAMS AT THE PUB DOORS

I have answerd your question I agree with you TANKER. What your forgeting is these people that you are making out to be scroungers and they possibly are DONT have the chance to contribute to a PRIVATE PENSION and I dare say it looks like they are having a swell time BUT ARE THEY REALLY.........would you like to live in a -hit hole, would you like to be without say an holiday abroad, would you like to have just one pot noodle meal a day, would you like to be handed hand downs from a charity shop.

What your forgetting is that these people in general have had a bad bringing up and have nothing to look forward to nor nothing to lose and know no better as thier parents were mostly brought up that way aswel.

Can you really say your standard of living isnt a lot better than thiers??? It should be.

Cynic you get pension credits which then are paid out as a basic state pension.

By the way it is called THE DEPARTMENT FOR WORK AND PENSIONS

He is an .. looking bug which reminded me that the cartoon is missing!

GOLD OK. BUT I SEE THESE SO CALLED HARD PEOPLE EVER DAY .they are better off than the people working fact not fiction .who ever comes to power the benefit system
as got to be dealt with when it pays not to work their is something wrong and must be addressed .

Well you should be blaming Ian Duncan Smith then.

How can someone working who as their own home be worse off than these scroungers.

Average price of an house what about £265 grand.

Do you really think these scroungers have got anywhere near that in assets.??

The only assets they have are the rags on their backs and a few replacements in thier rented house.

Now come on TANKER Ive conceded a lot of ground to you today NOW its your turn to ANSWER THE QUESTION.

ever one unemployed for over 6 months should be sent to the council to do local cleaning paths old peoples gardens and loads more tasks and made to sign on ever morning with a clock card .and if some one else clocks in for them stop their dole

gold they do not were rags

gold they do not were rags

Yeah yeah lets open the poor house again, lets send kids up chimneys and down drains , lets bring the whip back and the gallows.

Ohh I give up until you have the decency to answer my question.

Manners dont cost anything.

what is your question I will answer always do a yes or no

TANKER - 17 Jul 2014 15:25 - 43880 of 43883

ever one unemployed for over 6 months should be sent to the council to do local cleaning paths old peoples gardens and loads more tasks.....................ends

so what are you going to do with the unemployed workers from the council that your plan above will create??????????????????????????????????????????

43879

TANKER question 43879 and 43880.......now come on be quick her indoors is wanting a seeing to. It must be this heat.

sticks - there's plenty of cleaning and general maintenance jobs of one variety or another which local councils never get round to doing or do not have the manpower for it

They dont here. And if they didnt do it their would be hell on.

Have you ever wondered why you pay your Council Tax.

By the way are you sure TANKER isnt your brother or cousin.

TANKER answer the questions.

what is your question gold .

has for cleaning have never seen a path cleaned only in shopping centres if your paths are cleaned its a miracle .
I would do anything to get a job when I was young the uk is a filthy place council do not have enough man power so use the unemployed till they find a job
its has simple as that get them out of bed and sign on ever day and clock off .
perhaps then they will look for work .
the people who want a job would not object .

has for IDS some one had to take up the gauntlet it is ut of control benefits must be cut to no more a week than the old age pension max

hope that helps you gold
