parasites which profit on the hard work of others, but there are people who need it and do look for a job, should those people be punished for the actions of the others? I think it's better that the government is more strict and tries to check whether or not a person deserves wellfare... No hurries, no worries.

The only way for the system to exclude more people who don't deserve welfare is to either exclude people who do, or spend more than welfare costs on policing it. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

In the UK, which you are a self-proclaimed expert on, you don't get £150 a week, you get about £45. If you inlcude the exenses within the civil service of providing that £45 a week however then you are probably looking close to that £150 figure. :doh:

'self-proclaimed expert' Should hope so, I was born in Newton and lived in the UK till I was 35. No, the 150 refers to dole + housing benefit. Nunc est bibendum!

Yep, that makes you an expert on the country, you should run for Prime Minister. fat_boy wrote: the 150 refers to dole + housing benefit You can get housing and council benefit without being unemployed, and are not guaranteed to receive it when you are unemployed, so I don't count that as an unemployment benefit any more than a disability allowance or family tax credits.
