[Margaret Pilkington]

I don't expect anyone to agree with me. My opinions are my own and I am fiendishly proprietorial about them.
I also respect the opinions of others on the forum.

I have already said my bit on those who are on benefits.
But in case you missed it....I support the benefits system for those who see it as a helping hand.....something to tide you over the troughs of life.
I do not support those who see benefits as a lifestyle choice. Those who have babies so that they don't have to work,so that they can jump up the housing list, those who take benefits but have paid nothing at all into the pot.....those who claim benefits but work in the black economy.

And before you tell me about thieving MP's Bankers,multinational businesses and those fat cats in industry who think they do not need to pay their rightful dues.......next time someone comes knocking on your door canvassing for your vote, Tell them that it is time the government closed the loopholes that enables these people to act in the way that they do......the loopholes that makes dishonesty legal(though totally immoral).

If that were done, then there would be no need to deny those rightfully entitled to benefits that would allow them to live, rather than exist.
