now heres a couple who should be made to accept state benefits

On a brighter note, even if they were on all the benefits available that would be a-ok with me as they are actually working for them and not just sponging off of the system.

Define sponging off the system? Isn't deliberately having that many kids and claiming government assistance for them sponging? If not, how do you feel about all the sick and unintentionally jobless people claiming, which the press and Ian like to villify?

I can understand the bad back. Here in the states the absolute EASIEST way to get disability is drug addiction. THAT is what pisses ME off!!!

See, this is just you falling for media propaganda to villify people. If you'd ever tried to get benefits for sickness, you'd realise just how hard it is. I'm sure there are a few people who have slipped through the net but not to the extent that the media makes out. You'd have to be very, very clever to trick them into believing you're ill if you're not.
