Liz Truss

[InversneckieDob]

Do, any potential candidate must get the nomination of at least 100 MPs.
I assume this is a "stop Boris" thing?

[InversneckieDob]

....and lads, it's minkers I'm talking about. Not folk who find themselves temporarily unemployed.

My original question stands though.

How does it work?
How do they pull it off?

[donsdaft]

You've seen minkers with mobile phones.

Have they worked for them?
Have they ever worked?
Will they ever work?

I don't suppose they have to pull anything off, just use the correct magic phrases.

" not having a phone is affecting my mental health" etc.

Minker b'astards

You've never really defined a Minker, Most minkers I'm aware of are house-breakers, Drug dealers, Scap dealers etc, These minkers are rakin in a sma fortune so no need for the paltry benefits Pfffffffffffffft to that saiz Mr Townsley ESQ, Just out of curiosity I googled Minker,

* The act of accidentally exposing your erect ***** while it is tucked up into your belt
* Widely used in the North West of Ireland to describe those from towns such as Sligo, who display chav qualities chav
* Minkers are often seen in packs, usually hanging around together being involved in such noble leisure activities such as smoking,
* A term of abuse for any disreputable ragamuffin or rowdy
* Probably derived from "tinker" and used primarily in scotland. Used to describe someone with low standards of personal hygiene ie someone who is rather dirty, disgusting and may have a tendency to raid bins. One can also be a "mink" and a minker is "minky"

Awa an hae a wash ya dirty minker
* A minker is a **** whos boobs are too big and their shirt always falls off.

What sort of wurld are you living in DD

[InversneckieDob]

I've no idea, it was, I guess, a broader point about benefits.
I know that yer basic broo is modest.
I'm fortunate enough that I haven't been in the "benefit system" since I was a slacker ****ager.
I've no doubt some claimants play the system, but I'm curious as to how.
Just because someone on benefit uses a mobile phone...well, a second hand phone passed onto them, or bought off Ebay, and a modest pay as you go sim doesn't strike me as egregious.
A basic Sky package.......what, £22 a month?
That'll knock a hole in your monthly broo money, but possibly nae unaffordable if you budget right.
So I suppose, what I'm asking is, are there additional benefits you can get over and above the basic that allows extravagant living?
I genuinely don't know.

I'd agree with that. Low level crime and some not so low level crime are usually how they have cash. £75 a week off the social isn't a lifestyle choice.
Very few folk can live off the state nowadays DD, exist maybe, but not live.

When I was growing up in Torry we had a family of 'minkers' live close by. They didn't bother anyone, always had money but didn't work. Scrap was a big part of their income, was always cars over the garden getting stripped down.
The dogs they had weren't allowed to sleep in the house overnight so slept in a van outside and the husband was so put out by this he slept in the van with them too. What a sight that was. His blankets were old coal sacks. :d
What a time to be alive

Mobile phones aren’t a luxury item

Ah, the voice of reason.

Nobody should ever have to work for anything, just look pathetic and put your hand out and it will be yours.

[donsdaft]

Boris is flying back from the caribbean, in the national interest.

I reckon him and Mason are in cahoots.

Where are they handing out the free phones?
