You should be made to accept a job, be it street cleaning or anything else. IF you are genuinely incapacitated, retired,or a carer for a family member/partner you should be given the option of council/ association housing.
The system is used and abused by millions of dole dossing benefit cheats as it stands now.
I pay for them to be sat on their arses watching Jeremy Kyle and laughing at the rest of us who work hard for a living , hey, guess what? I am fed up of it and having rows with scum in my shop who want to spend their "healthy start " vouchers on anything except baby milk.
This country need a drastic rethink on all the handouts that go to the least deserving.
End of rant.
Time for a pancake.
Oh how i agree with this post.Close to where i live, 20 brand new council houses have been built + majority of people moving in are doleys or single mothers.Assuming these houses were sold privately i would guess they would go for approx £100,000,so why should they just be given away to people who will pay no rent when people like myself work but cannot afford a mortgage.There has to be a way of making these people put something back into the community.
