Sorry to come back to the whole ‘benefits’ debate but before we press on, I’d just like to say that benefits, u.c and anything else it’s called were never meant to ‘live’ off, just a stop gap UNLESS u need them for any sort of physical/mental/loss of job, illness cases. It pisses me off when people say it’s not a lot to live off etc as they are not meant to ‘live off’ just a help if u have no other money coming in. I’ll get off my soap box now but no one in the land of the great British empire has any right, more than anyone else (other than those that can’t physically/mentally work) to sit back and moan about the money they are GIVEN because it’s meant to help you survive, not THRIVE, the rest is down to YOU! No U shouldn’t have the luxuries of a phone, sky, lap tops, ale, fags, holidays, cars, animals, children etc if u can’t afford them! Y the hell should benefits cover that?! ITS A STOP GAP, not a living on thing ffs *rant over*
