The other half of the blame lies with the benefits system.
Benefits should be a helping hand, not a career option.
No political party has ever had the guts to tackle the problems with the benefits system.
However you look at it, it cannot be right that someone comes from the eastern bloc and can claim every benefit going the minute they land.

I still cannot understand why if the benefits are paid by the Government people on benefits are not made to work for the money with the Government as the employer.
Just say for instance that you have a painter & decorator out of work and living on benefits why on earth is he not out there painting the schools and the hospitals and the same goes for anyone else.
The system is a complete joke but is a way of life for some people and until someone starts to put their foot down and say enough is enough then long will it continue.
I work part time now after working very hard for a number of years and that is my choice but this month alone I have spent more than I earn on essential things including a visit to the dentist, new glasses for my failing eyesight and more than I care to think about on prescriptions for a newly diagnosed condition but I have learned to answer with a smile the question "Do you pay for your treatment"
