Interviewing people like this on TV makes a mockery of what benefits are designed to do.

I have a situation ( or two ) within my own family in this regard.

I have two of my three children who in many families would be on benefits due to their predicament/situation etc.

Neither claim benefits......why is that you might ask?

Me and the wife support both of them completely, no universal credit or any other benefit.

More families should help their own in my opinion but i really do dislike feckless waste and there's far too much given to people who simply want to sit on their a r s e s and who don't deserve this money, they are robbing the truly needy.

Totally agree especially with the above! Record illegal immigrants are coming in and we continue to do nothing and our friends in France just encourage it! Dump them back in France or make them work for their handouts! Students have to pay back their loans so why can't illegal immigrants be made to work ( fruit picking etc ) to pay for their freebies. Those that are talented place them on training courses to be professionals ie medicine, doctors etc, but still they pay back what they have taken. The lazy t wats who don't want to work must have some money as many are fat, smoke, and have satelite dishes - reduce benefits if they refuse work.

The problem though is why work if you can get more in handouts than working!! Perhaps benefits should be reduced and the minimum wage increased. Shut every business down that pays less than the minimum wage ie all the immigrant sweat shops in places like Leicester where the law turns the other cheek!
