We're taking a much dimmer view of benefit cheats – after all it's us that's being cheated

“Whilst being made redundant a yr ago I had to sign on for afew weeks, fortunatly I was not out of work long but my right to claim was questioned and under review. Luckily before they stopped it I got a job but then I see people who clearly have never had a job and cant be bothered to try, just given it so easily. Which was annoying seen ive paid my tax since i left school.

I mean the amount of single mothers *who live alone* claming for kids when in actual fact there bf lives with them on the side claiming their dole is a ridiously high number am sure. And they can afford a family car and holidays :s surely thats not right. But then again how can all these people be caught without hounding those people that are genuine honest single parents.

Another example my friend has been unemployed a very long time, he does have some disadvantages when it comes to work bt he applys. I told him to ask the job centre about the youth contract (work experience) their reply was yeah i duno go ask your job advisor...*job advisor says *hmm go ask a company* wow what help and enthusiasm to someone showing willing to volunteer. surely they should be pushing this and lining up companies willing to take on people with no experience. Surely if they leave it down to the person claiming to find a placement well they arent going to & if they do they wont be taken seriously.”

“I'm taking a much dimmer view of things too - the wifes' just closed the living room curtains!!!”

“I bet Chris Barber's neighbour wont be happy with him spilling the beans on here.”

“Easy way to break the so-called benefits cycle is to castrate anyone found cheating on their claims.
Result - no large numbers of offspring and these men can then have as many partners as they like with no extra burden on the state.”

“Well said Chris67! And Lilminx33 Bit harsh dont you think?! I was having a laugh, you should try it somtime! How dare you say im not a good role model to my kids!”

“If your unemployed,Your actively made to find work or you can only get unempolyment benefit for so many weeks. So the nice lady at the unemployment office told me once. So if your just a lazy sod,sat on your **** waiting for your next dole money to appear,or like my neighbour,seems to have money to play around with rebuilding motorbikes while claiming god knows what. Why the hell arent the government saying you will be made to work for your dole money of benefits if you can. Obviously genuine people wouldnt have a problem with this. So, if your english,work for 25 yrs get layed off you basically get sod all ! Come from abroard and your welcomed with open arms and get a job tommorrow. Night Night Mr Cameron Dont loose any sleep .”

“Following on from my earlier post, I would like to give a prime example. Young chap in his 30's lives not far from me with his current girlfriend - they have one toddler and another baby due any time now. Neither of them have ever worked and he has lived near me for around 15/20 years. About 6 doors away lives his ex wife with his two other daughters - mother has never worked either. I REST MY CASE.”

“This country is a joke with the benefit society- you only have to read the immature coments on here from the likes of 'Brian Potter & 'Hazzers' who think its funny. Unfortunatley they probably have kids and what role models they will be. These are examples of todays society which we would all be better off without.”

“Mozart you have cracked it. All the law enforcing agencies across the country need to do is send out a letter. After all im quite happy to claim fraudulent benefits but if a letter ever came through my door that would soon make me think”
