BENEFITS hmmmm

Thanks to C'mon and yourself the site is suffering from copy & paste syndrome.
We've managed over 10 years with actual input from members, we won't make another 2 years if everyone posts in this manner, we can all google for ourselves, we don't need you to do it for us.

"The site" was a little quite less,I fully comprehend folk can google for themselves, I thought I'd add some links to contribute to the thread in a hope to provoke a less negative reply.
Suppose I better get back to my buildings

The site will get quieter still if you only post links, the idea is to express your opinion, not just copy and paste a link to someone else's.
You want a less negative reply? How could anyone give anything but negative replies to the links you put on.

Yes, do please get back to your buildings, that at least was your own work and not just taken from someone else.

Ok,I understand,I must say though,I do usually put my opinion on however late and of low quality it may be (in your opinion)

Enjoy yourself

Re: BENEFITS hmmmm

This site is a lot quieter because a lot who used to post on here have joined with Gary Martin's group on Face Book, one or two who used to be sarcastic bully's on here, started abusing members on Face Book, they were immediately banned. There are now over 500 members on Gary's group.

Re: BENEFITS hmmmm

Facebook has it's pro's and con's like everything else. It's good because it's easy to reach a lot of people in a short time but it is very poor at being a forum. The bigger groups get the more it's failings show. I am a member of a group with 3500+ members. There are that many posts in one place you can't follow whats going on. Facebook has no good way of searching for posts on a group

Re: BENEFITS hmmmm

The Queen and Prince Charles cash in on tens of thousands of pounds' worth of benefits every year - Mirror Online

Do they really need the money? No.
Is she a "Welfare Queen"? yes
Would tourists still visit the tower of London, and other British landmarks, even if the royal family wasn't tax supported? yes,I think so....hmmmm.
She should certainly get sanctioned
I still think its the Politicians though that are the biggest benefits scroungers with their lies and cheating,anything to line their own pockets.
Government declares war on Benefits Street's scroungers

Kettle and pot?

Re: BENEFITS hmmmm

What a couple of stupid typical sensationalistic newspaper rubbish non stories. They rent out houses they own, is it their fault if the people who rent their houses have to claim benefits to pay the rent?
Should all businesses who rent out houses give them for free to people who claim housing benefit?

Who is that union general secretary who said why can't they give the houses to a housing association? Does he think housing associations don't charge rent?

I wonder how much money he earns? I just googled it but could only find his 2009 salary of £110,000 including pension contributions and car.

Yes Neil, it might be good for some things.....but I have yet to be convinced.
It doesn't fulfil any of my requirements.
Like I said........ I'm stopping here!

I have to say that I am with Neil on this one.

You may not like the Royal family, but they are one of the main reasons why the tourists come and spend their money here....and I am sure that there have been surveys that support this.
Britain relies heavily on the hospitality and leisure industry for income. This is especially true of the places where the Royals reside.....Sandringham, Windsor,
Balmoral. If you visit any of these places you will find them thronged with tourists at any time of the year. These tourists are spending money......adding to the economy.
There are many other things where a penny pinching attitude would be more worthy.
These stories also smack of the politics of envy....besides being sensationalist nonsense.
Please do not fall into the trap that mires our member from over the border......posting snidely sensationalist headlines without any real balance.

Maybe I could of put more effort into my comment but "stupid typical sensationalistic newspaper rubbish" is a bit harsh,rubbish would of done .
The point I'm trying to make is I don't think the royals are worth the millions we (the taxpayer) pump into their 'high flying' lifestyles.

I was getting at the newspaper not you. You did fall for their rubbish though

Maybe they are not worth the millions we pump in but you need to know their net cost to the Country after including what money they bring in from tourism and other good they do before you can decide what they cost us.
