I’d be interested to hear why you ‘had to’ follow in the footsteps of the criminal scum that surrounded you…Was it peer pressure? Were there literally no jobs and no opportunities to be had?
I think the reality is that people are too lazy to actually go out and graft for a normal wage and they make a conscious choice to become a drug dealing scumbag (or commit other crimes) in order to get a large tax free income for minimal hours work/effort, whilst still probably claiming £££s in benefits from the hard working taxpayers.
Oh, and as for the “But there’s no jobs” excuse…
1) My backside are/were there no no jobs; that’s the laziness speaking!
2) Commute further afield if there’s no positions available locally?
EDIT: Sorry oldgit, I seem to have got my wires (or eyes) a bit crossed when reading the previous page!
