I dont want to live in a country where one wrong turn can leave me in the gutter. But must always pay more than no work. Benefits received should never exceed the minimum wage. Although I believe that rarely happens here despite the sensationalised headlines we often see.

Also, Black and his Mrs are rich. Who knew.... I guess I just always associate that Brum accent with cider and sports direct....

The benefits system that you talk about as a glowing, compassionate helping hand is anything but that. It is instead one of the cruelest things that anyone could do to free people.

There are generations of families that live their entire lives on government benefits, so called cradle-to-grave. No jobs, no ambition for betterment, and an expectation that the money the government gives them is theirs. "They better give me my money." The more kids they bring into this situation, the more money they receive. So it incentivizes them to have more kids and grow their dependency. It continues from one generation to the next, taught and accepted that this is how to live.

To most reasonable people, this would be considered abuse of the system that the left likes to call a "safety net". It is instead a form of indentured servitude. A voter-base farm, designed to keep those that are ensnared in their net to stay dependent, and continue casting votes for the people that are actually their captors.

The whole thing is disgusting, and I know that most that support it do so without knowledge of the damage that it causes.
