Dole Dossers

I know this is hardly the PC thing to say, but people that sponge off the state, and have no intention of doing a day's work are leeches on our society.


I think everyone knows of someone who is cheating the system, claiming benefit they don't deserve, or just claiming dole every week making no effort to look for a job, but we all just accept it as a way of life, in the UK, WHY?

I recently saw a Facebook group called "Get off your Ass and get a Job", but it had no postings for months and only a handful of members compared to groups for people who were fans of cherry drops, or love hearts sweets; membership goes into thousands!

David Cameron's plans to make the long term unemployed use their time more usefully than watching daytime tv, and give something back, I think are great, and he should be applauded. If these people are genuine about getting a job, they surely won't mind doing something that contributes to society and the place that we live rather than just take, and give nothing back.

There is lots of talk about pride etc, well I for one, would rather go to work everyday, no matter what I did, and earn a living, than think I am entitled to one, but do nothing to earn it. Where does this idea come from?

I lived in Hong Kong for 5 years, and state benefits didn't exist. Consequently people went to work, and put money back into the system and economy, and the economy thrived. People didn't expect to get something for nothing, they worked and if they were too old to work they looked after the children, everyone played their part in making the whole place work and function.

But why bother, when you get fall out of bed at 10am, get dressed at 12pm, and hey presto every 2 weeks money magically appears in your bank account. What a joke!
