Usual morning round of positivity on the forum I see......

The debate about "entitled to benefits" is a fascinating one to me, whether you have paid your taxes or not. As it happens I have, and I have 25 years of contributions to show for it. Despite that I don't see myself as being entitled to any benefits, ever. I also don't think I'll ever see a state pension because it'll have been removed from people who can support themselves - and I think that's fair.

No benefits whatsoever here in Asia, but no need or them either because the family is responsible for care, be it when you are sick, unemployed, disabled whatever. You look after your kids to they grow up then they look after you. Imagine that, what a weird concept. I think it's called a family....something the UK has long forgotten.

Any danger that someone might have something positive to say? What about starting a thread on the benefits to Lancashire of sitting on some of the worlds largest shale gas reserves?
