[Margaret Pilkington]

If a person has been earning that kind of money then you would think that perhaps they would have the sense (in these difficult times) to put some of that money away.....a rainy day fund. This crisis isn't exactly new....it has been going on for some 4 years now.
Someone on this kind of salary would(you hope) have invested in a house of their own, rather than relying on paying out rent.
It seems that in the city of London, this is where most of the benefit goes....to pay extortionate rents

I don't begrudge the people who have paid into the system so much as those who come here have not worked, pay nothing into the system and send the benefit money back to the country of origin where it will enrich their economy.

It should never be more profitable to live on benefits than to go out to work....and let's face it there are working families that do not bring in the kind of money that this bill is talking about.
Benefits should be a helping hand, not a way of life.
