Re: 1 in 4 living off benefits

You do realise that housewifes were included in these figures as well don't you? As you have just said when your wife was a housewife people thought she was doing nothing. If you read further back in the thread you agreed with a comment that if someone who was recovering from a heart attack could do work on an allotment that meant they were capable to work. So what would you want people to do? Getting a bit of gentle exercise is beneficial to people recovering from any illness but it seems they are dammed if they take the excercise that could help them because people like you then assume they are fit to work. Life is never as black and white as you seem to see it. As I said last night there are people on here who would give their right arm to be fit to work, it is just unfortunate that we don't always get what we want in this life.
