i have two friends that are on this sick for 'mental' related illnesses...you can call them shirkers if you like.

they get £180 a fortnight and they get rent & council tax paid for them. After gas, electric & water this leaves them with around average of £320 a month to themselves ( they even get cold weather payments....that prob go on beer)

Me being a worker. I live by myself and i am on a low wage (example of low wage is it just slightly over the amount so i cant claim tax credits) After my bankloan payments, rent, c-tax, internet & gas etc i am left with about £40 for a full month

what ****es me off is my two friends... one is either moaning about no money and the other is always compalining about how hard life is and that he never gets any sleep and they have absolutely no concept of what its like to struggle along this way
