    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I'm sure that's the case in some instances. But there are a myriad of reasons why benefits go unclaimed. I was watching a documentary set in Dorset but I'm sure this would be replicated in rural areas all over the country. People living miles away from the benefits office have missed...

    but the point is 1.2 billion isn't claimed so if you had a benefit system where all the money went out to those that were entitled to it you are only looking at a 200 million difference. Our welfare spend is low compared to a lot of countries whose economies are performing better than ours.

    which is fine if you can do that. I was on benefits nearly 30 years ago for 5 or 6 months after losing my job. They fed me and my family and stopped me losing my house. Once i was back on my feet I was back paying taxes and have we have paid shit loads in the intervening years so for me the...

    Winter Is Okay ?

    By the time winter comes around I'm ready for it and quite look forward to it but by the end of February I'm looking forward to warmer weather and brighter nights so the seasons work out OK for me.

    I understand that. But people want to use that ad an excuse to dismantle the whole system. We spunk more money up the wall on less deserving things to be honest.

    I agree. But anything good and beneficial has people who will abuse it. The aim should be to take out the piss takers not dismantle the whole system.

    It was one of my favourite City goals. When Cyrille passed away there was a montage of his goals going around but that one wasn't included.
