Government Assistance

How is it in the UK?
Are there many people entirely reliant on the government?
Is it too easy to get Government assistance?
Are many "Institutionalised"? In that they'd panic if it were cut?

This is an example of what we have descended to in blighty dave. £25000 per annum in benefits, some of which was spent on bomb making apparatus! If one of mine had been killed in that blast I'd have likely made a home made bomb myself ......... especially to place in the Benefit office!

"Despite their parents leaving the UK in October 2016, benefits continued to be paid.
The jury was shown their mother Samia Abedi's bank statements detailing monthly payments of £692.32 housing benefit from Manchester City Council and weekly payments of £302.76 working and child tax credit and £61.80 child benefit, giving a monthly income of £2,147."


tbh I quite welcome this story as it must surely bring this to the attention of the public the following.
1. Why exactly would Libyan muslims be eligible to live in this country and eligible to collect benefits of that level from the UK taxpayer?
2. Why had these payments not been stopped when Mrs Abedi left the country 6 months before? Can we expect a head or two to roll for this negligence?
3. Why does the muslim community provide cover for these individuals? They should surely out them if they truly follow the ridiculously named "religion of peace".
4. Why am I still working? Those useless feckers get 25k pa despite never having paid hardly anything into the state kitty when a pensioner is allowed less than a third of that despite most paying tax and NI contributions for 50 years?

Dick and Dom need to sort it out pdq! Forget the bloody NHS for a minute, forget education and Trident and filling a bloody milk float in Leeds! This is the stuff which motivated so many Northerners to vote Leave! This is a real issue in our urban communities. This is what motivated so many Northerners to ignore their lifelong allegiance to Labour and to switch to voting Conservative in December! Recognise it and bloody well reward it! Chance of a lifetime for the Tories! They must now waste it!
