    My daughter was until recently a psychological practitioner and dealt with lots of people trying to play the system. Any excuse not to work.

    This is not true. PIP is not means tested...

    We have loads of people who sit in their arse with 5 kids claiming benefits that?‚?’s their income.

    Someone who works for me has 2 kids and he?‚?’s struggling. His wife has cancer but can?‚?’t get a PIP as her husband is working. Yet over the road same family 6 kids never worked a day in there life husbands a carer claiming disability. Caravan in Skegness etc you know the type.

    He can?‚?’t afford to get to work to pay for those lazy dole wallers. Make that make sense?
    I?‚?’m paying his fuel for him and I have given him an interest free loan to keep him going whilst lazy ****ers get up at lunch every day.
    I agree some need help but if you think we don?‚?’t have a problem with lazy work shy families you are deluded.
    And of course we have a certain demographic with kids from multiple wives but hey we are funded them lazy gets too.
    Of course there are people who milk the benefits system. I have prosecuted and defended several such people in my career.

    I suppose you could say that human nature dictates that some people see an opportunity to exploit simply as an opportunity. That is why some people are happy to milk benefits. It is also why some water company executives saw dumping raw sewage into rivers and the sea as part of a lucrative a business model. It is also why some business owners saw the Covid crisis as an opportunity to accrue wealth by selling dodgy PPE or making fraudulent claims for soft government loans or furlough payments.

    The trick is to avoid tarring the majority with the actions of a minority. Not every benefit claimant is a shirker in much the same way as not every person in business is a fraudster.

    For example, I do know a businessman who claimed furlough payments from the government whilst keeping his business open, but that doesn’t make me angry at and want to insult all business owners. Maybe it’s an emotional intelligence thing.

    I did not realise that this thread was about race, but it isn’t a subject that I am obsessed with and I do not have social media feed that encourages me to be.

    Before you use the toilet, open chest freezer lid, sit on the frozen produce for 5 minutes, then go to toilet, you won't feel nowt then.
    Problem solved.
    If you tell your doctor this, he / she may
    prescribe going to Iceland freezer shop every day, but I'm not sure Iceland would be happy with you Sat in their freezers with your trousers down.

    Doctors more likely to say it?s a mental health issue and give you a sick note / benefit ticket for life.

    ......and I dare to say that includes the majority being white families....see that wasn't hard to say 'white'....

    Feckin scroungers I hate the lazy *******! Shame the Government can't tax their benefits like they do my Government pension and works pension because although retired, I'm over the threshold so they bash me with tax on what should be my well deserved/earned pensions to use the 'full' amount how I please but no, my stoppages help the scroungers scrounge on with not a dot of embarrassment from them.

    The country?s in a real mess run by idiots.

    Look at London once envied all over the world now a haven of knife crime, phone thefts in tens of thousands, shoplifting and mob scumbag thefts, hate crime , demos every where, shootings etc etc a mayor who don?t wanna know - soon to be made a Lord apparently!

    Get out would be my advice to kids these days cos it ain?t getting better soon!

    On that note ?Happy Easter ?
