TJ, don’t pull the fair for all rubbish. It goes without saying the most needy should be helped, and inavriably they are, but i am damned if you think that everything is rosy in that little world.
fwiw i grew up on a ‘sink’ estate, as did all my family, but I wasn’t given enough on a plate that i didnt think that i needed to better myself. I do agree with the tories that WE should ALL try to help ourselves no matter the circumstances and not depend upon the goverment to help me achieve a certain lifestyle.
I was listening to the radio the other day, some woman with 4 kids in a nice enough area was moaning that she could not afford to buy her kids the toys they wanted for Christmas. She is claiming what ever benfits she is entitled too and also housing benefit, yet she still says its not enough and was bemoaning the fact. Well guess what, not EVERYONE can afford to buy the things they want, especially those people who don’t have the money, but Labour made everyone feel that it was a god given right for people to demand what they wanted and get into debt so that soceity was ‘fair’ and now we are suffering for it.
I’ll get off my box now, its a quiet monday morning, can you tell? 🙂
