At 2:40 pm on Friday, it will only be the sick, lazy and lame that can attend anyway. Oh, and the council.

All of the great economically inactive in one room together not achieving anything.

Well if I'd starting rearing a litter of layabouts at the age of 12 and living a life of riley on tax payers expenses, maybe I would be able to attend.

Are Minim2 and RaeRae93 the same person?

No we are not. Just two people with similar views...

Can you stop summing up everyone that doesn't work like that? Stop with the stereotypes! For petes sake!

Granted there are some people like that but how can you say the sick don't achieve anything? I was under the impression that the majority of off-work sick people can't control having disabilities or serious illness. Usually its genetic so hardly their fault. IS IT?

Let me know if you develop cancer, MS or similar and are forced to survive on benefits so I can laugh and say 'I told you so'

I'm glad I've never had the misfortune and hopefully never do, to meet you. I'm ashamed such judgemental, narrow-minded people live in this good town I call home.

Well if I ever get laid off from my current job. I'll let you know that I've gone to the Docs with a "bad back" in order to get some money, free housing, free car, free council tax, for the rest of my life. I could even get my wife to become my home carer. We could spend all day watching Sky TV together.

You never know, my children may learn from it as well and follow in my footsteps.

Please don't think that I assume this is how half the population on council estates lives.

Well that's certainly the impression you've been giving all along!

The entire basis of my argument in the first place...

Now he listens.

Yes you are quite right. When layabout adults breed, they usually rear layabout offspring.

Hence the reason families with 3 generations claiming benefits are not uncommon.
