It's the old, old story in this country, spend it, and still receive assistance, although I do agree with the old people having help, but not the people who have resisted employment and thus have very little income, but can still find money for cigars and beer.

I totally agree Tony even though I DO get these payments, if your elderly you still feel the cold irrespective of circumstances
